SEIU 1021 members joined community activists and leaders in San Francisco in supporting the removal of the San Francisco police chief Greg Suhr who defended the murder of Bayview Hunters Point community member Mario Woods. Woods was executed by over 10 police with more than 20 bullets in his body. Rally participants also connected the the murders with the gentrification and ethnic cleansing of Bayview Hunters Point of African American and working class residents. This is escalating with developers and speculators who want the property and have the support of the politicians. The rally was called by Justice For Mario Woods coalition.

Anyone who has had any self defense training, including but not limited to Gung Fu, Karate or any other form of self defense knows that you do not need any weapons to disarm a person with a knife. Thus, the call by Democratic Party mayor Lee and his appointee, Police Chief Suhr, for stun guns, another killing mechanism, demonstrates total contempt for humanity and the taxpayers. The police chief and all of the killer cops should be fired immediately. We want the police trained in basic self defense so they know how to disarm a person with a knife without using any weapons, not even billy clubs. We need an online petition that says this since most of us cannot get to these rallies.

This is Nazi Germany reborn in Nazi USA with death squads roaming the streets. The cops were paid $166,000 a year plus an equal amount in benefits to execute one kid in broad daylight who had a kitchen knife. Beyond the firing of the police chief and the killer cops, we need to call for complete abolition of the police department since they do not fight crime at all; they are the criminals, killing the people of San Francisco in death squads in broad daylight. The money we pay them must go to job training, social services, and housing for the workingclass. This is certainly part of the Democrat-Republican Party's gentrification scheme, which is a failure. When you walk in any commercial district, you see almost every restaurant with signs begging for workers, as are the banks, the post office, FedEx and retail sales businesses. There is nowhere for the workingclass, the 80% of Americans who sell our labor for less than $80,000 a year, to live.

San Francisco is now just a suburb for the rich who think nothing of having 2 stadium swindles (baseball & basketball) built where there are 2 medical facilities: Kaiser and University of California Medical Center, making it impossible for the medical staff and the patients to access these medical facilities when the stadium swindles are in use which will have to be often to maximize the profits of these gambling racket "sports teams." And they are now promoting a gambling racket street party for an ENTIRE WEEK, Jan 30-Feb 6, 2016 at the foot of Market Street during the last week of January, causing our buses and trains to be diverted and lose money as apparently the Financial District does not matter to the filthy rich parasites who have moved to town nor their Democrat-Republican Party sitting at City Hall. If you are unaware, during the F student gambling racket parades we have every couple years in this town on Market Street in the afternoon during regular business hours instead of the weekend, the million or so people who show up scream at the top of their lungs for most of the day making it impossible to work if you have an office on Market Street, and there are hundreds of offices in tall highrise office buildings on Market Street, and the Civic Center offices have to lock their doors on the Civic Center side, including City Hall and all of the courts. If you complain to the parents that they have no business taking their children out of school for this garbage, they tell you to shut up. This writer will continue to complain, of course. It is bad enough to have this nightmare for 1 afternoon; now we are about to experience this horror show for an ENTIRE WEEK during school and business hours. We need to take back our City from the profiteering murderous thugs currently sitting at City Hall.

When we see a general strike the minute there is any police shooting in this town, we will know that this backward country has finally changed for the better. If people can take time off for gambling racket "sports" parades, they can certainly carry out a general strike for 1 day. That is all that it would take to end police shootings because when labor withdraws its hand, nothing moves and no profits are made.
