'What is excessive about an officer putting on safety protective equipment when they are having explosives thrown at them? Bottles thrown at them. Getting punched in the face and spat on,' SFPD Chief Bill Scott said.
The unpermitted event attracts hundreds of skateboarders to Dolores Park to skate down the hill. Gordon McNee has lived in the area for 22 years and called 911 after hearing screams out his window and witnessing a fight.
"One got on the ground and was being pretty much beaten up," said McNee and added, "I know they were young but they were definitely with people that were causing a lot of trouble. It was very intimidating just walking up and down the street. People were closing up shop.""I see them in riot gear. Nobody was having a riot. People just came out to have fun.
"What is excessive about an officer putting on safety protective equipment when they are having explosives thrown at them? Bottles thrown at them. Getting punched in the face and spat on," said Chief Scott."I'm going to be reaching directly to the police commission and I hope they exercise their oversight role here to ask some questions and to really figure out exactly what happened and why it went down like this," said Supervisor Dean Preston- the biker later died.
