San Fran Protesters Hurl Flares, Hammer at Police During Violent March

Protesters marching against the recent police-involved shooting of a young man — who police say fired at them and ran during a routine train fare check — became violent on Tuesday, hurling flares, smoke bombs, and a hammer at police. KGO-TV reports a motorcycle cop was injured when protesters tried to push him off his cycle. About 35 protesters were arrested at the end of the day:

The march began moving through the Mission and Castro districts around 6 p.m., and it came the same day investigators said tests found gun residue on 19-year-old Kenneth Harding’s hand — the young man who ran from police — indicating he fired the first shot at officers Saturday.

Police Chief Greg Suhr said the Seattle man fired the first shot at the officers, who shot back about nine times. Harding was pronounced dead after the chase in the Bayview neighborhood that began when officers approached him for not paying his fare on a light-rail train.

Harding was on parole for promoting prostitution in Washington state and was a person of interest in a fatal shooting in Seattle last week, authorities said.

During the protest Tuesday, some marchers carried a banner reading “They can’t shoot us all.” Others chanted, “How do you spell murder? S-F-P-D.” Video posted on YouTube also shows protesters shouting, “Cops! Pigs! Murderers!” while also carrying a sign saying, “Fu** the police:”

The group arrived at a Muni light rail station, where they overturned garbage cans and attempted to break ticket machines, KTVU-TV reported. Video footage showed a protester throwing a smoke bomb.

Esparza tells the news station that police declared the gathering of about 150 protesters an unlawful assembly around 7:45 p.m.

After the group left the light rail station, they moved toward the Mission Police Station, where they threw a hammer toward a window. The Chronicle reports officers were not hit in that attempt.

According to KGO, the mob also tried to splash the station with paint and threw flares. It also says protesters vandalized a Bank of America at 18th and Castro street.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    The sign said “They can’t shoot us all.” That’s just not true. In fact, if they need extra bullets, I could send some. I don’t mind sacrificing a little for the greater good in this case.

      I have a better idea than shooting them. Every time a city has the old budget battle the libs threaten to cut funding of police, fire and teachers first. Great! Just cut the funding to the police, the residents obviously do not want them. Let’s see how far they can get without those same police they are protesting.

      As a experiment I wonder how it would turn out if we took two groups, one of these groups could be 100 of these protesters and the other could be 100 of Glenn Beck fans. The experiment would be putting each group into a survival situation, maybe each group on their own deserted island for 3 months or so, what do you think would happen?

      I’m not much into jumping onto bandwagons. The questions that sprang to mind here was, when has it become standard fare for police to board trains and check receipts of passengers? The story mentions “routine” I believe, when did this become routine.

      Secondly, an observation. I, as a concealed carry advocate (and license holder), have seen countless cases of the “thin blue line” closing ranks and protecting its own come hell or high water, regardless of how heinous the officer(s) in question acted. There may well be two sides to this story, and we cannot assume that the protestors do not have a legitimate concern. If somebody killed my son/sister/wife/father/mother on a “routine” ticket check on a train, I’d be ticked off as well.

      That said, the protestors need to chill out a bit. Inciting violence, even to solve unjust violence, is rarely a good idea. If they want real action, they need to stop marching and start showing up at the state house to demand a redress of their grievances.

      Even though it would be fun to see the cops bust some heads here, I don’t know if we really want to tell police to break out their billy clubs against unruly crowds. Once the police get a taste of jack-booted-thuggery, it’ll be hard to reign them back in. It may not be long (hopefully) before WE are that unruly crowd. I‘d rather the police just stand out of the way when I’m carrying my torch and pitchfork.

What if a wall was built around the city limits with only a few gates in and out. It’s already a sanctuary city, so why not pull the police and fire and declare that any Muslim that would like to establish Shariah law would be free to do so.

      I strongly suspect that the right to protest means that you get to protest without being punished by the government. True, they need to not be violent, and to the extent that they are they should be arrested and prosecuted as individuals. But to believe that, because they have a different view than you or the government, that they should be denied the services that they also pay for, is rather fascistic don’t you think?

      Nobody needs “shot” as everybody else is saying, and nobody needs to be taken out of society through other means. Protests and demanding a redress of grievances is an American right, every bit as valid and important as our other rights as listed in the Bill of Rights.

      Prosecute the violent ones, but the rest have every right to protest and you have ever responsibility to respect that right, lest there come a day when *they* focus on taking away *your* right to protest.

      Hello! I’m not a facist. I’m merely saying that if these people hate the police SOOOOO much that they are THROWING HAMMERS AT THEM, then they should realize the consequences of NOT having them around. Anarchists never like the end result of the society they themselves create.

      I think it’s better if we liberate San Fransisco from their police force. We need to take up a massive collection and hire their officers away in waves, until the people with sense still in reach say “enough” to the 60s reenactment society.

      @GhostofJefferson,

      The point being made in the sarcastic responses is that these “usefull idiots” protest at the drop of the hat on ANYTHING!! The comments are in response to their insanity……they are protesting the police because the police did EXACTLY what they were supposed to do!

    The sign says we can’t shoot them all-well they can shoot anyone who shoots at them, I am so tired of this garbage it’s always the cops fault. Sometimes it is, but the truth usually comes out. This “kid” was not a nice law-abiding citizen, not hardly. If he did kill that young woman just think-no trial, no money spent so I’m glad he took the first shot(glad no cop was hurt, too). As for these idiots in san fran, they don’t let law or facts get in their way. Can you imagine being a cop there? What a wonderfull place to work.

      The SFPD should walk out all of them and take two weeks off. By that point the law abiding citizens and all these liberal business owners will be begging for their return. He77 two weeks it would probably take two days before SAN FRAN. declares martial law and calls in the Military reserves.

    Maybe groups like this is why California leads the nation’s gun control movement. Because yes, with a couple of fully loaded 30 round magazines those idiots behind the sign could indeed have their sign’s claims nullified. I think it is a testimate to law enforcement that they did not defend themselves while arson attempts were being made on the police station. Assaulting law enfocement is a felony and attempted arson of an accupied building is no small matter. Will any of these radical and violent leftists be arrested? This kind of thing is right out of the Wm.Ayers and Van Jones playbook for radicals.

      How do we know he shot first though? I’m not sticking up for the guy, but citing that he had powder residue on his hands in no way indicates that he fired first. The police can and do abuse people you know. This guy seemed like a piece of work and was apparently a bad person in general, but we cannot assume and give police a pass on shooting somebody just because somebody was a ‘person of interest’ in an investigation.

      Yeah, all these losers haven’t worked a day in their pathetic lives. One would think the 1960′s would have produced enough filth for multiple generations, but here we go again; history repeating itself.

      If these idiots just bothered to understand what happened in the 1960′s, they wouldn’t have to go thru all this senseless crap. Basically, the crap from the 60′s ended when kids grew up and realized how counter-productive it is to be so anti-American.

      Really? I beg to differ. They didn’t grow up from the 60’s and certainly didn’t realize anything. Some became college professors and the rest moved to SF and Madison Wisconsin and continue to beat the same drum they had in 1960.

      Well, the majority of them grew up, I believe. The problem is, the ones that didn’t ended up becoming tenured professors. So, I guess both of us are right, to a certain extent.

      I just never understood that mindset – even as a kid. I always knew right from wrong and I always understood what was fair and what was not. I can’t figure out how these losers intentionally play the fools. They think they’re being “cool”. But, you know what “cool” really is? Being a responsible American, holding down a job – that’s cool.
