Good morning!
The Christmas lights are already going up around the Mission, but politicians have been pushing the season—the election season— for a while now. Mayor Breed’s proposed ballot initiative for March 2024, setting policies for police surveillance technology and car chases, was questioned yesterday by supervisors.
The cops who sprayed Shotwell St. with bullets in 2022 weren’t called to testify in the trial of Jose Corvera. Stopped for riding a bike on the sidewalk, Corvera fired a fake gun at the officers and was charged with resisting arrest. His lawyer said the cops stopped him “for nothing but being brown.”
