The fallout was swift.
Thursday morning, San Francisco Police Department officers shot and killed Luis Gongora, a homeless man, at his Shotwell Street tent.
Friday night, Public Works cleared out tents of Gongora’s neighbors and friends, after Mayor Ed Lee announced he would clear Shotwell.
Saturday night, SFPD told the few remaining homeless on Shotwell to leave, moments of which were captured on video. On camera, officers pulled apart the tents, piece by piece as the rain fell. Ripping nylon can be heard as police teared into tents with knives.
Sunday, Gongora’s friends stood amidst broken tent poles, scattered clothes, and even a bent painting of a sunny beach. Most was rubble.
One of the only tents left intact was Gongora’s, gray and dusky blue.
His friends faithfully protected it. They signed their names to it, one by one, to honor him.
“He was hands down one of the dopest men you could ever meet in your lifetime,” said Markael Raybond, who called Gongora his best friend.
Through tears, he said that when life at the camp was rough, Gongora “stepped up for me.”

Now the pigs have taken it upon themselves to be the exterminators of the homeless. May the bad seeds all rot in hell.

( it’s poor people who are killed by police)
This is the most most heinous thing I’ve learned in my two years compiling Fatal Encounters. You know who dies in the most population-dense areas? Black men. You know who dies in the least population dense areas? Mentally ill men. It’s not to say there aren’t dangerous and desperate criminals killed across the line. But African-Americans and the mentally ill people make up a huge percentage of people killed by police.
And if you want to get down to nut-cuttin’ time, across the board, it’s poor people who are killed by police. (And by the way, around 96 percent of people killed by police are men.)”
F’N pigs. After they got done knifing all the tents, they went home and told their spouses, “Boy did I have fun today! I was able to impose misery upon another human being, job accomplished”. Tomorrow’s goal, to be a complete a$$wipe. Gearing up now, let’s see, pepper spray, check, gun, check, instant a$$hole spray, check………………………………………………
I do wonder about the wives and families of these low information security legions. How can a wife live with one who daily commits aggression (I am using the nicest term I can) on others? Do most wives and children know what their husband/father really does every day? No wonder there is so much drug/alcohol abuse in the police departments. There is a lot of abuse in the families.
