Petition against the City of San Francisco's
"Day of Remembrance" for Mario Woods |
On February 1st, ALADS President George Hofstetter penned an email blast titled The Mad Hatter Would be Proud decrying The City of San Francisco's "Day of Remembrance" for Mario Woods. The email blast was circulated among ALADS members as well as statewide law enforcement stakeholders.
Who was Mario Woods?
Mario Woods was recently released from state prison, on parole for armed robbery, and had just used a knife to severely slash a random, innocent person. The heavily bleeding victim called police, who tracked Woods to a nearby street, where he refused to drop the knife, proclaiming to officers "You better squeeze that ****and kill me." As detailed in a story by Matier & Ross, when several beanbag rounds failed to disarm Woods, and he moved towards bystanders, officers opened fire and killed him.
Petition Against Day of Remembrance for Mario Woods
In a a recent email to SFPOA's members, President Martin Halloran attached a link to give SFPOA members an opportunity to sign a petition denouncing the City of San Francisco's "Day of Remembrance" for Mario Woods. Law enforcement allies at American Police Beat and PubSecAlliance have forward the petition, at the the request of SFPOA, to law enforcement associations throughout the country.
In most cities, honoring a person who stabbed an innocent victim would be a "jump the shark moment." Apparently, not in San Francisco.
