I know the Dems think they're doing damage control, but I think piling on reverence for this guy actually contributes to the problem.

![1975 strike
edit
In early August 1975, the SFPD went on strike over a pay dispute, violating a California law prohibiting police from striking.[8] The city quickly obtained a court order declaring the strike illegal and enjoining the SFPD back to work. The court messenger delivering the order was met with violence and the SFPD continued to strike.[8] Only managers and African-American officers remained on duty,[9] with 45 officers and three fire trucks responsible for a city population of 700,000.[10] Supervisor Dianne Feinstein pleaded Mayor Joseph Alioto to ask Governor Jerry Brown to call out the National Guard to patrol the streets but Alioto refused. When enraged civilians confronted SFPD officers at the picket lines, the officers arrested them.[8] Heavy drinking on the picket line became common.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l6524gwkguhr443476qzaj4o/bafkreidcikvpoj6lgwbg7rbddcywqubt6enk2hgg7742f3uv4shtz2nlpi@jpeg)
![After striking SFPD officers started shooting out streetlights, the ACLU obtained a court order prohibiting strikers from carrying their service revolvers. Again, the SFPD ignored the court order.[8] On August 20, a bomb detonated at the Mayor's Presidio Terrace home with a sign reading "Don't Threaten Us" left on his lawn.[11] On August 21 Mayor Alioto advised the San Francisco Board of Supervisors that they should concede to the strikers' demands.[11] The Supervisors unanimously refused. Mayor Alioto immediately declared a state of emergency, assumed legislative powers, and granted the strikers' demands.[12] City Supervisors and residents sued but the court found that a contract obtained through an illegal strike is still legally enforceable.[12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l6524gwkguhr443476qzaj4o/bafkreiej7jzz4ffyhfc7yagtb6loxemcyothurvea4pz6zfercdccvcdiq@jpeg)
