Good afternoon!
We have lots of news for you today. First off, there was a fascinating discussion at Wednesday night’s police commission over a new memorandum in which the SFPD and the District Attorney’s office lay out the rules on how to conduct investigations.
Police Chief Scott offered up a proposed agreement that had been mediated between the two offices. But in a 4-3 vote, the Police Commission rejected the proposal and sent them back to work on it again. What’s interesting is the back-and-forth between Scott and the commissioners.
And then there is Boba trouble at the flagship store for Boba Guys. Employees have been dismissed, the 19th Street store has been closed for now and one of the founders apparently told employees he feared losing everything.
Need a break from the drama? Read about Michelle Chang and her efforts to bring a cultural salon to the Mission.
Enjoy the rest of the day,
