Mayor Lurie picks anti-violence activist Mattie Scott for SFPD commission. Some advocates 'shocked.'
Briefly

Mattie Scott, an advocate for gun violence prevention, is set to replace Max Carter-Oberstone as police commissioner in San Francisco. While Scott brings significant community organizing experience and a personal connection to gun violence, some advocates feel she lacks specific police department expertise. Supporters highlight her leadership in various violence prevention programs and her accolades from key political figures. Critics voice concerns about her qualifications, emphasizing the importance of legal and labor background in such a critical role. Overall, there’s a mix of hope for her contributions and skepticism regarding her readiness for police oversight.
Given the qualifications of the two people, there's a vast difference. I don't see the legal background or the labor background.
Couldn't be a better person; she will exercise common sense, be balanced, and pay attention to police reform.
