Turned around and chased him. To the entryway of my building, and he hit me two to three times in the face, broke my nose in two places. Reporter police say this was one of four side shows that broke out all across San Francisco, with 50 to 100 people each blocking roads for 15 to 20 minutes. Did you see Police Officers out here . I saw one police vehicle. I was under the false assumption that the area was secure, but in hipd police were outnumbered. I understand it was quite well organized. Reporter they confirmed there was no arrests, no citations and no injuries at the other four locations. But this mans face tells another story. We need to deal with the violation associated with what happened in this particular case. Reporter the mayor said sfpd officers were able to figure out locations and responded. Part of the challenge we have is we need to strengthen our laws like oakland did and have the ability to confiscate the vehicles that are involved in these side shows. Reporter we spoke to a member of the San FranciscoPolice Department who confirmed they are working on finding a solution, but its a question of resources and public safety. In San Francisco, luze news. So if there were what were they doing if there were no arrests . Reporter theyre basically taking notes, taking down license plates and working to identify who these people might be. Back to you. Thank you. Oaklands former police chief is breaking her silence after being abruptly fired last week. Caught off guard, she is firing back at the mayor and the Police Commission that voted to oust her. Reporter Laura Anthony is live in the newsroom with what the former chief had to say tonight. Laura . Reporter thats right, dan, Anne Kirkpatrick said she will not be going away quietly, saying explosive things about the way she was treated, saying there might be legal action and a lot more to come for the real reasons on her abrupt firing. I dont think they ever had confidence in me. Reporter Anne Kirkpatrick is firing back at a City Commission and Olivia Schaaf for her abrupt firing last thursday. Are you upset or angry . Not angry. I will tell you im disappointed. Im embarrassed. Reporter Commission ChairRegina Jackson said the chiefs firing was without cause. But jackson went on to say that the commission had lost confidence in kirkpatrick who had openly sparred with commissioners in past meetings. I am not going to have a police chief speak to our staff in that manner. Reporter they also criticized her for failing to fire four officers involved in a 2018 shooting that left joseph pollack dead. Do you feel like the mayor turned on you . She was oe of your biggest supporters. I was surprised and disappointed in her, yes. I was disappointed. Reporter why . I believed her. Reporter unlike those who fired her, kirkpatrick believed she had made significant progress toward complying with the federal monitors goals, including Violence Reduction and hiring more women and minority officers. Kirkpatrick told us she will ask the u. S. Department of justice to investigate, and shes considering legal action against the city. Abc 7 news has learned the base f basis for her legal claim may be alleged retaliation for her refusal to grant special favors to at least one member of the Police Commission. A memo says the chief was worried about retaliation because she would not approve the reimbursement of towing fees for gelane harris. Harris reporter there are things you dont know about behind the scenes. I will know. In distance and time, i will be sharing the significant information that will be forthcoming. Reporter kirkpatrick also has advice for anyone wishing to be oaklands next chief. Do not come to oakland because they will not have a job for long. And they need to think twice. Reporter is it toxic . Yes. The political environment can be toxic. Reporter now, we could not reach commissioner harris, but we did hear back from Commission ChairRegina Jackson who told us any assertion that kirkpatricks firing was some kind of retaliation for her refusal to do favors is, quote, completely unfounded and untrue. In the newsroom, Laura Anthony, abc 7 news. Laura, thank you. Demands for action tonight following a racially charged attack in San Francisco. A video shows it all. A man robbing and assaulting a senior citizen. News anchor deion lynn has the video and possible solutions to the violence. There were two racially charged incidents in the bay area in 2017 and 2018. This recent incident has city officials responding quickly. Its a disturbing video that has gotten worldwide attention. A video posted to instagram showing an older asian man in San Franciscos bayview neighborhood, collecting empty cans, being confronted, assaulted and humiliated by another man as others watch. The video is very disgusting to see the elderly abuse that was taking place. Reporter supervisor shimon walton viewed the video monday, saying he will start the ban to help communities. Were actually working on bringing on somebody internally that can work with our office to coordinate how we respond and intervene in violence. Reporter also part of the solution, the committees Ambassador Program formed in 2010 performing racially motivated attacks on aging seniors. A team we spoke to in nearby Mission Valley said they wished they were present and scheduled to work on weekends. Do you think that would help in this situation . Yes, i think so. But if my johnny, the one assigned to my team, maybe he could have been there to talk to him to let him know what was going on and possibly help him get out of there. Reporter while racial slurs can be heard in the video, San Francisco police have not yet called the incident a hate crime. They are investigating and attempting to locate and identify the victim and witnesses. Offers to help the victim and his family financially are pouring in from across the globe, and in the meantime, sfpd asks anyone who knows anything about the incident to call their anonymous tip line.

Has struggled with the bay areas rising homeless crisis just as the cities have. Remember a couple years ago images of rampant drug use at San Francisco civic center station went viral. A bay area insider phil mctier showed up at civic center. He wanted to see how they were cleaning up that mess and keeping it from happening again. Peoples impressions of b. A. R. T. Happens before they even get on the system. The stations. Looking around here, this looks a lot better than it did a year ago. A year ago there were people openly using drugs a year ago. What have you done . We have really focused on the stations first appearance. Why wasnt is cleaned before . It seems like a nobrainer, go out and clean the station. I think it wasnt a priority. I dont think so, phil. I think we always were trying to keep the stations clean. We had to double down with the challenges. Some of the challenges from the bay area, you know, the homelessness and some of the mental illness, some of that started to creep into our system, and we werent paying attention to that, that ill give you. Weve regrouped now, and i can walk you through civic and its darn clean. Weve got one guy here playing a mandolin, trying to make a couple bucks, a couple panhandlers, but i got to say all in all, this hallway is a lot cleaner than it was a year ago. A year ago there were people lined up here whacked out of their skulls on drugs. There isnt a piece of garbage debris in the entire hallway compared to what it was before. How did we do that . How many cops do we have now patrolling this area . We have a station post here, but it really has been a partnership with the city of San Francisco and b. A. R. T. Pd. What you want is folks walking throughout the system, you know, walking the hall, making sure theres no trouble, go do something else, and walk back again so you and i cant set up camp here. Its that roving presence that keeps folks safe and keeps the system nice and clean. When you first saw the photos of what was going on here, what was your reaction . It was heartbreaking, phil. For me, heartbreaking because of how important i think b. A. R. T. Is to the bay area. And i tell my staff that i bleed b. A. R. T. Blood. You know, that i have so much vested in b. A. R. T. , i want b. A. R. T. To succeed, and when i saw that, it was disheartening. It was very troubling for me as one of the leaders of b. A. R. T. At the time. Why did it take so long for b. A. R. T. To react . Again, i think that was maybe at the start of this epidemic that the bay area is facing right now, that we all have got to come together to try to solve the homelessness crisis. But that was right at the beginning, phil. That was, what, 18 months ago, two years ago, that this was at the peak . There is a saying, i hear it all the time. B. A. R. T. Is reflective of the bay area. Whatever problems or anything you have on the streets, youre going to see them on b. A. R. T. The fact is also that people expect, when they go into b. A. R. T. , that that trouble is not going to be there, that its going to be safe. Thats right. They know youll get them there on time, but they want it safe. I want it safe. I cant agree more. The trouble should stop, whatever the trouble, at the gates. And we are posting all of our b. A. R. T. Week stories to our website, abc7news. Com and to our abc 7 news app. We have a place where you can ask your b. A. R. T. Questions and we will try to get you some answers. We will, indeed, and it will be there all week long.
