It was caught on camera even <br />though at least three police officers tried to TAMPER THE EVIDENCE BY FLASHING THEIR FLASHLIGHTS constantly at the <br />camera while the rest of the officers beat up these two men. <br />Time and time again, SAPD shows us how they are not equipped to keep us safe. In fact they don’t keep us safe, instead <br />they jump, beat up and steal men of color from our community. <br />Women are just as prone to this violence but in the past month I have seen more than One video of SAPD beating up <br />citizens. <br />The people that are suppose to keep us safe. <br />This wasn’t the only interaction I have witnessed. <br />Months back on a Tuesday night, I also witnessed SAPD pull a guy on an innocent man who was waiting for the bus. The <br />man didn’t do anything, in fact he got off the same bus as I did and they pointed a gun at him and hand cuffed him <br />without tell him his rights or why he was being arrested. 15 minutes he was let go because he was not the guy they were <br />looking for. SAPD is the biggest GANG IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM ANY LONGER. OUR <br />COMMUNITY DESERVES BETTER, OUR COMMUNITY DESERVES RESOURCES FOR OUR YOUTH AND PARENTS, WE DONT <br />NEED POLICE TO CONTINUE TO TERRORIZE OUR COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE BEEN KEEPING EACH OTHER SAFE AND WE <br />WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP EACH OTHER SAFE. <br />DEFUND SAPD NOW, GET RID OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO SUPPORT THE PD MORE THAN THE PEOPLE NOW. <br /> <br />1 <br />
