San Francisco news purposely showing Mayor Jean Quan as a Republican.
Oakland is in the news, as it should be given the police violence that occurred there during the encampement clearing last week. Although the police were provoked to violence by having bottles and rocks thrown at them their response has been deemed disproportional. One can agree with that.
What is equally interesting is the handling of the entire situation by Mayor Quan. First she coddled the protesters and left them alone. Then she requested the police to move in and clear out the encampment. Then she apologized for the way they were treated, vilified the police and allowed the protesters to return. All of this is costing the city hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money. A city that is financially strapped and cannot afford excessive waste. In spite of that, Mayor Quan is now supporting and endorsing a general strike by the protesters.
A strike like this will have massive financial implications on the city in the form of lost productivity, but the police are also prohibited from participating in the strike and in fact are being beefed up to insure that the strike remains peaceful. A strike that is encouraged and promoted by the very establishment that the strike is aimed at.
This has prompted the police of Oakland to write a public letter stating their confusion.
Meanwhile, Oaklanders are equally confused by Quan's bipolar handling of the situation and are giving her alarmingly bad approval ratings. From the SF CBS 5 local station poll:
"As for Quan, the CBS 5 poll found her approval rating is now a dismal 20% — with 64% of Oaklanders disapproving of the job she is doing."
In true California glory, a Mayor that disliked and that foolish as to purposely bring down the finances of the city *has* to be a Republican.
Below is a picture of the website from last week, with the party affiliation highlighted in red.
I am sure this is just an "honest" mistake, but it is one of those things that formulates public opinion and was done entirely on purpose. In case you think this is a fluke, they did it again five days later.
Mayor Jean Quan is a member of the Democrat Party and considered to hail from the Progressive wing of the party according to APAP.
Nice to see the Propaganda Ministry working overtime.
