On Saturday evening, a crowd of people vandalized and set fire a driverless Waymo taxi in San Francisco's Chinatown. The fire was quickly put out, but there were no people inside. The outraged crowd sprangled the car, smashed the windshield, sewed graffiti on it, and smacked graffiti, and sprangled firework inside. Firefighters were extinguished shortly, and the San Francisco Police Department is now investigating the blaze. No arrests have been made as of yet.

The mayor of San Francisco slammed the Board of Supervisors' latest ceasefire decision directed at the Israeli-Gazan war, saying it was misguided and meaningless. The resolution, as directed by Supervisor Dean Preston, calls for an immediate and long-term ceasefire, humanitarian assistance to Gaza, and the freeing of all hostages. "What happened at the Board of Supervisors during the last month did not reflect our values." Although I support the right of community members to be heard, the Board's procedure only inflamed division and hurt,' Breed said.

Three masked men assaulted journalist Bohumil Vostal and his colleagues outside the well-known City Lights bookstore at 5 p.m. on Sunday. They were filming the summit in San Francisco, where robbery is up 13.7 percent year on year and the whole day's footage was lost. On Monday, the news crew spoke with Mayor Breed in City Hall and questioned her using a tiny personal camera attached to a tripod.

Alex Ludlum, 36, the San Francisco government official who resigned after promoting a "doom loop" tour of the city's struggling downtown district, has been named as high-flying real estate investor Alex Ludlum, 36. The now-defunct 'Doom Loop Walking Tour' offered people the opportunity to 'get close and personal' to downtown San Francisco's doom and squalor for $30. The planned 'Doom and Squalor' tour of open-air drug markets, abandoned tech centers, and deserted department stores' was set for Saturday, but it was postponed due to local resistance.

Around ten of its autonomous cars fell down and blocked a San Francisco street, causing the company, a volatile driverless car manufacturer, was blasted. Just a day after securing the permission to flood the streets of the crime-ridden city with even more of its Chevy Bolts, ten of Cruise's cars suffered WiFi connectivity, bringing a street in the North Beach district to a halt. A woman who filmed the drama could have argued that ten of the hatchbacks had been suspended. Six people were seen in a video shared online by KRON, blocking the intersection of Grant Avenue and Vallejo Street.

Prosecutors in San Francisco are looking at drug cases involving veteran narcotics officer Christina Hayes, who is accused of having an improper relationship with a confidential informant. More than 100 drug cases are in danger of being dismissed with lawyers investigating at least 132 cases relating to Hayes and having dismissed 82. It comes at a time when the city has been wrangled by efforts to get a grip on open-air drug markets, a heroin overdose epidemic, and homeless encampments.

On Tuesday, Mayor London Breed was hosting an open-air hearing at United Nations Plaza to address the city's drug crisis before it had to be cut short due to disruption.

The perpetrator, identified as 26-year-old Elysia Katet, was arrested in San Francisco with child endangerment and assault with a deadly weapon.

Shamann Walton, the San Francisco supervisor who first raised the issue of reparations in February 2020, has requested a $50 million 'Office of Reparations,' rather than the massive lump sum. The African American Reparations Advisory Committee (AARAC)'s recommendations - 111 in total - include a $5 million lump sum to every eligible black person; a $1 house; and a $30,000-per-year guarantee for 250 years. After the AARAC's final report, the board will not decide whether or not to adopt the recommendations until later this year. Another meeting has been postponed for September.

Xaviaer DuRousseau, a conservative activist who used to promote BLM and who lived in the Bay Area, said San Francisco's reparations scheme was ridiculous and ineffective. DuRousseau said he saw the campaign as part of a drive to'indoctrinate' black Americans into dependency. 'This is 111 ways to gaslight black Americans into thinking that we should be reliant on a system of handouts in order to be successful,' DuRousseau, who has previously written about being raised a Democrat and then'seeing the light.' The African American Reparations Advisory Committee's (AARAC)'s recommendations include a $5 million lump sum to every eligible black person; a $1 house; and a $27,000-perpetual income for 250 years. Hillary Ronen (right), a member of the board, told the audience: "You have my full support and commitment to implementing all 111 of these recommendations,' a member of the board.' They are all justified.'

The Board of Supervisors of San Francisco held its first meeting on Tuesday to hear the public's thoughts on a redressal bill, which would see the struggling city give out cash to black residents. 'My dad always told me not to beg,' Sgt Yulanda Williams (main), the president of the Police Association Officers for Justice, told them.' I am not begging you today. It's time for you to do the right thing and make us whole.' Aaron Peskin (top left), the chair of the Board of Supervisors, has previously stated that the African American Reparations Advisory Committee chaired by Eric McDonnell's $5 million proposal is unworkable. 'But that should not stumble into a discussion about how this society and its government can solve the past's problems,' he said. San Franciscans gathered on Tuesday to take the mic and address the Board, with some of them singing their support. Sam Cooke's 1964 Civil Rights anthem performed one verse, "A Change is Coming."

The $5 million reparations award could be distributed to black San Francisco black residents of at least 18 years old who have been in San Francisco for at least 13 years. It is uncertain how many people would be eligible for the test, but if only 10,000 people are eligible, it would cost at least $50 billion. In June, the plan will be presented to city leaders.

In 'unique' situations, the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) is recommending the use of robots to murder criminals, as the force's 12 bots are expected to support officers with deadly force and 'ground support.' The new policy plan will be analyzed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rules Committee next week and will specify how the SFPD will be allowed to use its military-style weapons. Aaron Peskin, Rafael Mandelman, and Connie Chan, who make up the committee, have scrutinized the draft's policies over the past several weeks.
