LGBTQ+ community leads way at annual People's March for Democracy in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — From drag queens to city leaders, hundreds marched down San Francisco’s Market Street Saturday in protest of Trump administration policies.
“You can’t touch our immigrants. You can’t touch our trans people. You can’t touch our queer people. You cannot touch our Social Security, and you cannot touch our federal workers,” said Sully Haage, Oakland resident.
“It’s scary to see billionaires and people with bad intentions take over our country and strip people of human rights,” said Sister Roma of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
“We have to let the federal government know we’re not going to stand by and let them take our rights away,” said activist Honey Mahogany.

People gathered from across the Bay Area for the Annual People’s March for Democracy with the LGBTQ+ community leading the way.
“I think the queer and trans community of San Francisco has been one that has led the way in so many ways. And it’s time for us to really make our voices heard,” Honey Mahogany said.
“We have a long history of standing up and fighting for anything. And when we see something that’s wrong or needs to be addressed, we’ve been fighting for our rights all our lives,” said Sister Roma. “This community is strong and resilient and brilliant. And we’re here today because we’re not going anywhere.”
And these marchers say their voices are only going to get louder.

“That is how we change things. It starts in local places. It starts with protests like these. That’s how we build caring ideals and not hateful ones,” Haage said.
Tara Campbell: “One of the sentiments I’m hearing is sort of this, ‘Enough is enough. We’re going to be out doing this every weekend.’”
Lauryn McIntire, Turlock resident: “Yes, absolutely. I’ve been trying to get out here every single Saturday. And my friend over here sends me as many protests as possible to attend, and I think that’s very important that we get as many numbers and peaceful protesting as possible.”

Body cam footage released in South San Francisco police shooting
(KRON) — The South San Francisco Police Department released video Thursday showing what led up to two officers shooting a man who authorities said was armed with a knife.
On December 8 at around 5:10 a.m., police arrived at the 900 block of Sandra Court on the report of a man under the influence of drugs and making threats to kill himself. When officers made contact with the man, identified as 28-year-old Luis Francisco-Manzo, he initially complied with orders, authorities said.
Officer-worn body camera video shows Francisco-Manzo walking toward officers in the entrance hallway of an apartment complex with his arms raised. A small dog barks as officers give repeated commands. Suddenly, Francisco-Manzo appears in the entranceway next to officers as one calls out, “He’s got a knife.”
Officer Brendan Hart, who has been with SSFPD for eight years, fired a Taser at Francisco-Manzo, but it did not have the intended effect, police said.
Four gunshots are heard in the body camera video. Police said Officer Hart and Officer Martin Corona were the officers who discharged their weapons. Officer Corona has seven years of law enforcement experience with over four years at SSFPD.
Francisco-Manzo was transported to the hospital in critical condition. On Thursday, authorities said he continues to recover in the hospital. No officers were injured in the incident.
The police shooting remains under investigation by the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.

San Francisco: Anti-ICE protester gets probation for ‘depredation’ of ICE van’s tire
SAN FRANCISCO — A protester who was initially charged with misdemeanor assault has been sentenced to probation for a less serious offense, ending a federal prosecution that only started four months ago, court records show.
On Dec. 8, Angelica Guerrero, 35, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor “depredation” of an ICE van’s tire — a fancy legal term for slashing it with a knife. The same day, a federal judge sentenced Guerrero to probation, according to a minute order of the hearing.
The charge stemmed from an Aug. 20 protest, when Guerrero slashed the tire of an unmarked Chevrolet van being used in an ongoing “enforcement and removal” operation by the Department of Homeland Security on the 100 block of Montgomery Street, according to prosecutors. The complaint alleges that Guerrero “made repeated threats” against one of the officers, including stating, “I’m going to (expletive) you up” and “I’m going after your family,” as well as threatening to stab the officer.
Guerrero was released within 48 hours but complained of “barbaric” conditions inside Santa Rita Jail, during an interview with ABC7.
