San Francisco Police Commissioner Max Carter-Oberstone faces removal by Mayor Daniel Lurie, igniting protests from community leaders advocating for police reform. Carter-Oberstone, who serves as vice president of the Police Commission, rejected the mayor's request for his resignation and was publicly notified of the effort to remove him. The mayor has not provided public reasoning for this initiative, with Carter-Oberstone's previous activism and outspoken support for reform being pivotal. Criticism has emerged regarding the need for courageous commissioners in the wake of the controversy.
"We need commissioners ... who are not afraid to speak truth to power, who are not afraid to whistle blow when he knows something is wrong and unjust."
"Carter-Oberstone, who currently serves as vice president of the commission, said he was notified three weeks ago by the mayor's office that it would be pursuing his formal removal after he rejected Lurie's request for his resignation."
