SFPD cracked down on a group of teenage skateboarders last week resulting in 113 arrests and dozens of teenagers placed in zip ties and detained until they could be released to their parents. The actions of the SFPD has resulted in outrage and outcry from SF officials and community members. We are joined to discuss the situation by Joe Rivano Barros, a Senior Editor at Mission Local, along with SF Supervisor Dean Preston, who represents District 5, which includes the Tenderloin, the Haight, the Fillmore, Japantown, Civic Center and the Western Addition.
