"Controversial SFPD Actions at Dolores Park Spark Outrage and Arrests"

Parents of teenagers in San Francisco are accusing the police of trapping and injuring their children during a crackdown on a crowd of young people at a skateboarding event in Dolores Park. The police arrested 113 teenagers and adults, charging them with inciting a riot, conspiracy, and failure to disperse. Parents claim that their children were walking home or riding scooters through the area when they were caught between lines of officers and had no escape routes. Some teenagers reported being struck with batons, hit with bean bags, or cut by their restraints. The police defended their actions, citing vandalism and assaults on officers as justification for the operation. The incident has sparked condemnation from city officials and calls for an investigation into the police response.
