Police appear to outnumber protesters 10 to one. One protester on a bike said police were lined up in front of the Mission District police station as he biked south on Valencia. 8:41 p.m.

A protest that started earlier today in downtown San Francisco is now moving south on Valencia Street. The protest against police shootings was organized by the Anti-Eviction Mapping project, which recently released a map of the San Francisco police shootings between 1985 and 2014.

  3. Meanwhile, Harrison north of 19th is turning into a big homeless encampment. Complete with bike chop shops, trash and human waste all over the sidewalks. I’d like our tax dollars to go to better use than babysitting trust fund anarchists while they throw a tantrum.

  4. Ah, the Mission. What a lovely place! I tell everyone I know, who is new to the Bay Area to avoid the place. It’s filled with petulant children, many of whom are well into their 40’s. Do yourself a favor, never go there.

    1. I’ve a native to the Mission since 1853 and your illogical and bigoted response creates more stereotypes which we don’t need.

    4. G’luck with that. At $1000 per square foot, wealthy people are falling over themselves to live in the mission.

  5. Looks mostly like the usual suspects….mostly stupid white people with a chip on their shoulder that think they are more important than anyone else.

  6. Hmmm, I wonder if we are going to hear from the guy who complains that lefty protesters are treated more harshly than Giants fans. Maybe the damage that we see here (and the more extreme damage that happened in Oakland because of an inadequate police response), will keep him quiet.

    1. Time for vigilante justice. Shop owners and locals need to protest the protest and come out with bats and guns to take out anyone trying to loot or vandalize. A bat to the head of someone trying to break a window might teach them a lesson as obviously we cannot depend on the police to protect our neighborhood.

      1. Let’s put it this way. If I was sitting on a jury where a local business owner or resident had used force to repel a protester, and that protester had suffered injury or death as a result, then don’t expect me to rule anything other than an acquittal.

        Maybe even a commendation for bravery and heroism.

    2. It’s time to crack down heavily on these thugs. Some significant prison terms for anyone looting or damaging property would discourage many of these opportunistic trouble-makers.

      We’ve been patient long enough. Time for some zero tolerance policing. Use tear gas and rubber bullets is necessary. Time for the big stick.
