Friday, December 2nd is Mario Woods Angelversary. We speak with Gwen Woods, Mario Woods mother. Mario was killed by SFPD on December 2nd, 2015 in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco. He was 26 years old when he was shot by as many as 15 rounds fired by five officers. His murder ignited massive protests, including a hunger strike, and unity among police accountability activists on both sides of the Bay bridge who routinely shut down BOS, police commission meetings and engaged in direct actions like “waking up former Police Chief Greg Suhr” who we ultimately succeeded in getting removed from office.
