San Francisco Mayor Breed's drug crisis meeting turns chaotic with brick throwing and boos.

Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin demanded that San Francisco Mayor London Breed shut down "drug supermarkets" in 90 days, but Breed has declined to commit to a timeline, saying she's already working with state and federal agencies and coordinating city departments to address the crisis. Public health and criminal justice experts are doubtful the city could shut down illicit markets as quickly as Peskin wants, but said it was possible over time using a combination of approaches. The city remains divided over the issue, with some residents cheering officials’ efforts and others pushing back that criminalization won’t fix the problem and will only worsen overdose deaths.
