Most of these attacks are from young black men so when you see them around acting suspicious, be prepared and defend yourself. And I don’t want to hear that this is a racist thing.

[samanthasheehan]

Black Mayor, black DA, black police chief. This will only get worse.

[leignorantblm]

This is type of behavior is completely normal in a certain culture. Along with shootings, assaults, theft, robberies, car jacking, drive bys, gang shootings, pimping, hate crimes and not being able to read or do simple math. What a wonderful culture America is an more diverse and progressive place because of them.

[leignorantblm]

There needs to be harsher punishments for people who target elderly people with a minimum of 5-10 years it’ll make them think twice

[quoaitran]

These are the reasons why we need to pay gangsters to safeguard the neighborhoods we live in. Police just don't give a dam

[quoaitran]

I think gangsters and vigilantes will do more good for their communities than the 👮‍♀️ 🚓 👮‍♂️.

[kenchow]

If this happen to elderly black people, there would national protest and the country will be in chaos.

[aeromtb]

this is the criminal justice reform you voted for.

[justinkey]

Boycott black people. Boycott Martin Luther King day and demand a federal holiday for Mexicans and Asians. Caesar Chavez Day and Anna Mae Wong Day!

[Emphasis]

If they cant do their job they should not get paid 100k+ a year.

[ncheng]

Glad that they did this for the community, and DA Jenkins and Chief Scott seem committed to this issue. Will have to see what changes will happen. Asian people just want to feel safe, it's not a lot to ask!!!

[Donkeybone]

These b males need to be put in prison.
This has been going on for along time and no ones doing anything about it.

[davidpulido]

If there serious I wish them the best!

[broccolifan]

The Mayor didn't attend the meeting. She didn't want to look bad while she tried to speak Chinese. She had no clue many Asian victims aren't Chinese.
I hate to say this but that's what voted for.

[araliu]

This Sfo atty should still be investigated for not disclosing of receiving money out from tax payers money. No integrity n honesty for small n financial stuff surely cannot be trusted in other matters.

[Like-jiud]

Its always them same peoples and the victim will always be a hispanic or asian elderly.

[cyankirkpatrick]

You have to thank governor Newsom and DA.Gascon for this type of behavior.

[radioclash]

The poor oppressed blacks do all of this—be honest about it

[joyce]

What is being seen and heard going to do? What's the detailed plan?

[itsatrap]

Still not discussing the black on Asian crime. Untill then this is all a shit show. Black Myaor, black DA, black Chief. Yeah definitely something isn't wrong here.
