“For decades now, officers have been trained that they can avoid being run over if they just don’t position themselves in a vehicle’s path of travel. “
Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.
Immigration agents have shot at least nine people since September. All of them have been in cars.

This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

In a unanimous vote, San Francisco's public-records task force urged Mayor Lurie to release info about his call w/Trump last year, when the president promised to back off a federal deployment.

The mayor has withheld some records, claiming they're exempt.

I fucking love living where I can agree with 99.9% of activism and protests.

But I don't call it San Fran... It's San Francisco, SF, or the City.
