A recent protest in San Francisco escalated into violence, damaging Muni buses and breaking windows of downtown businesses. Three officers were injured, and several arrests were made, including a serious charge against one individual. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins urged demonstrators to adhere to the law, emphasizing that violent actions undermine the causes of peaceful protests. The Sheriff's Department is prepared for future protests and mass arrests if necessary, reaffirming their commitment to public safety while not enforcing immigration laws. Officials are reviewing footage for potential further charges against individuals involved in the protest.
I really stand here before you to urge anyone involved in these upcoming demonstrations to ensure that you follow the law in your expression of First Amendment speech.
We do not enforce immigration laws; however, violent destruction of property is a different matter. We are prepared, we are coordinated, and we are committed to protecting San Francisco and its people.
