"Skateboarding Chaos: SFPD Report and Rally for Dolores Park Hill Bomb"

The San Francisco Police Department presented its report on the Dolores Park hill bomb operation, where over 100 skaters and passersby were arrested. Body-worn camera footage showed officers being targeted with lit fireworks, glass bottles, and a metal can. The incident began when a police sergeant was spit on and attempted to arrest a 16-year-old boy, resulting in the sergeant being cut on the forehead by a 15-year-old girl. The department issued dispersal orders and made arrests, but footage of the juvenile arrests was not shown. Parents have expressed anger over the treatment of their children, and lawsuits are being considered. The Police Commission is discussing the incident and Supervisor Dean Preston's letter regarding it.
