Why are SF Supervisors hesitant to demand racial equity in policing and hold SFPD accountable?

Virtual press conference Monday, Jan. 25, 12–1 p.m. –

Despite a year of reinvigorated uprisings calling for the end of anti-Black racism, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors’ (BOS) actual lawmaking has all but ignored opportunities to address racism in San Francisco. The BOS Committee of the Whole meets Jan. 26, and we are calling on the community to make public comment.
The lack of action is particularly UNACCEPTABLE, given:
A Black San Franciscan remains more than 10 times as likely to be arrested as a white San Franciscan – and a Black San Franciscan is more than four times as likely to be arrested as a Hispanic San Franciscan (cited racial categories are from SFPD) – by the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD);
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) In San Francisco, a memorial was held Friday for one of the women killed in a hit-and-run on New Year s Eve.
At 4:30 p.m. family, some visiting all the way from Japan, and friends of Hana Abe gathered in her honor.
Abe s mother, Hiroko Abe, who is in San Francisco from Japan for the ceremony, spoke exclusively to ABC7 News reporter Dion Lim just days before.
She spoke of the turmoil in her heart, and how she hopes what happened to her daughter prompts change in the city of San Francisco.
Mrs. Abe also spoke at today s memorial, along with a Buddhist priest.

Then, messages of unequal treatment toward Black Americans and concerns about the phrase all lives matter gave way to hateful, trolling screeds, a battering ram of anti-Black and anti-Semitic slurs, pornography and an expletive-laden death threat to President Joe Biden.
