San Francisco mayor issues statement on ‘stop and frisk’

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has been trying to fight back against violence in the city by attempting to bring in a “stop and frisk” policy.

He has been under pressure to stop this campaign from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors (specifically Malia Cohen) and civil liberties groups like the Black Young Democrats of San Francisco.

The criticism is that this policy will focus on racial profiling.

For those who are serious about fighting issues like this (death and violence) that occur over cities and regions see prophet.tv for real answers.  To receive more understanding specifically see this teaching from the Building the Warrior teaching series.

Politicians, police join thousands in march for gay pride in San Francisco

For the 42nd year the gay pride parade was held in San Francisco.  Police officers and politicians were associated with rainbow flags and banners as the city celebrated the community of the lesbian, gay and transgender lifestyle.

Market Street, the main street in the city, saw over 200 floats.

Some parade participants were dressed in bright outfits made of balloons and some participants and parade watchers wore barely anything.

Mayor Ed Lee was to speak at the Civic Center close by the parade’s end area.  He’ll be located around the same area as the infamous gay rights activist and San Francisco City Supervisor Harvey Milk addressed gay pride celebrants a little over 30 years ago.

Organizers of San Francisco’s weekend events  stated that this is the largest LGBT gathering in the nation.  However, thousands also celebrated in Chicago and New York City.
