SF mayor's stop-and-frisk talk creates controversy
People rally outside of city hall in opposition to a proposed
stop-and-frisk policy in San Francisco, Tuesday, July 17, 2012. San
Francisco Mayor Ed Lee's floating of a controversial stop-and-frisk
policy used in other major cities, including New York, has sparked a
backlash from several city supervisors and concerns, particularly among
the African American and Hispanic communities.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Mayor
Ed Lee said he wanted to spark a discussion about a spike in violent
crime when he mentioned that he was considering a controversial
stop-and-frisk policy used by police in New York, Philadelphia and some
other big cities.
Instead, he has heard an outcry from city officials, civil liberties groups and residents who were shocked that the mayor would explore such a strategy in the international tourist mecca known for its uber-liberal outlook.
Stop-and-frisk policies allow police to stop, question and pat down anyone who appears suspicious. Critics say it can lead to racial profiling and a violation of civil rights requiring probable cause for such searches.
Lee recently told a newspaper editorial board that San Francisco police officers need stop-and-frisk authority to get guns off the streets, and he was willing to consider what other cities were doing after his city was wracked by 10 homicides in June - the city's deadliest month in nearly four years.
The backlash grew last week when Supervisor Malia Cohen introduced a resolution supported by five of her colleagues opposing the idea. Instead, she wants anti-crime strategies that she says do not encourage racial profiling and violate the 4th Amendment.
"It is a policy that is unnecessary, unwanted and let's not forget, unconstitutional," Cohen said Tuesday as she stood on the steps of City Hall with dozens of other opponents during a noontime rally.
They later delivered a petition with more than 2,200 signatures to the mayor's office expressing their disgust with the strategy.
"It's not an African-American issue, it's not a Latino issue," said Theo Ellington, 23, the rally organizer and president of the Black Young Democrats of San Francisco. "It's a quality of life issue."
Cohen, an ardent Lee supporter whose district includes a large population of black and Asian residents, said she understands the mayor's concerns but believes she has enough board votes to formally reject any proposal.
"I believe he was raising awareness," Cohen said. "But to actually say something sensational like that, people are stopping and listening now. It is a loaded term."
She said the discussion should be about overall public safety in San Francisco.
On Tuesday, Lee, the city's first Asian-American mayor, clarified his previous comments, saying he is not considering a policy that would violate anyone's constitutional rights and result in racial profiling. He said he has met with community leaders, clergy and police on how to reduce violence.
The spike came after the city's violent crime rate dropped in 2011 for a third straight year, hovering at lows not seen since the 1960s and mirroring a current national trend.
"We share grave concerns about gun violence and its disproportionate impact on communities of color and youth in San Francisco," Lee said. "We need to do more."
However, the New York-based nonprofit Communities United for Police Reform recently urged Lee "to exhibit serious caution in replicating a system that is broken and that will undoubtedly negatively impact the people of San Francisco."
In addition, the Coalition for a Safe San Francisco sent Lee a letter signed by 50 organizations that says "stop-and-frisk would be a grave and major step backwards for San Francisco."
In New York City last year, police reported stopping nearly 700,000 people, with 88 percent of those encounters resulting in no arrests or citations. The majority of those stopped were black and Latino, and more than half were between the ages of 12 and 24.
Critics say the tactic in New York is illegal and humiliating.
San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr, who was apparently caught off guard by Lee's initial comments, has said while he and the mayor may differ on some tactics to reduce violence, everything is on the table for discussion.
"He doesn't want to rule out anything. He's willing and of the desire to do anything to reduce gun violence," Suhr said. "I told him that we make all of our detentions in San Francisco based on reasonable suspicion."
On Tuesday, Lee said that as a former human rights director and a civil rights attorney, he views the 4th Amendment as sacrosanct and will continue having discussions and looking at different anti-crime strategies.
"I will not support, nor will I put forward any proposal that will violate such protections, but I am willing to move forward with bold ideas that get to results," Lee said.

Dark Knight Rises 'critic' is banned from Rotten Tomatoes
US blogger Eric D Snider posted negative review on aggregator site despite never having seen Christopher Nolan's new film

guardian.co.uk,
Batman's revenge ... a critic was banned from Rotten Tomatoes for posting a negative review of The Dark Knight Rises – he had not seen the film. Photograph: Ron PhillipsIt must have seemed like a surefire method of attracting new visitors to your website: take the year's most heavily anticipated movie, and post a negative review linked to the popular aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. The only problem for US blogger Eric D Snider of the Snide Remarks site is that he had not seen The Dark Knight Rises, and was therefore in no position to comment on it.
Rotten Tomatoes yesterday took the rare step of banning Snider from the list of critics whose reviews contribute to its aggregator scores for forthcoming movies. His crime has since been referred to elsewhere in the blogosphere as a form of "countertrolling" because the critic knew full well his verdict would cause consternation among vocal fans of film-maker Christopher Nolan who use the site. Rotten Tomatoes was later forced to temporarily disable comments on all The Dark Knight Rises reviews due to fan ire – though not as a direct result of Snider's verdict.
Snider's felony was compounded by the fact that he used his Rotten Tomatoes critic's login to suggest his review was being hosted on the website film.com, whereas it was actually linked to his own site.
"In our opinion, by knowingly posting a link that isn't a review (and he hadn't seen the movie), Snider has abused our trust, and therefore, his reviews will no longer apply to the Tomatometer," wrote Rotten Tomatoes editor-in-chief Matt Atchity in a blogpost explaining the decision to ban the critic. "If a critic abuses our trust by linking to something that's not a review, we will take action up to and including removing them from the Tomatometer. If a critic doesn't take their reputation seriously, then neither will we."
Snider had initially posted: "The Dark Knight Rises is easily the most disappointing Batman film so far – and I'm including [Joel] Schumacher's Batman and Robin in that statement. Nolan has finally lost his touch."
When readers clicked the link to view the full review, they were informed: "Just kidding! I haven't seen The Dark Knight Rises yet. It's probably very good! I just wanted to post a negative quote on Rotten Tomatoes and see how many idiots would type angry words at me without actually clicking the link to read the review. 'You ruined this movie's RT score!' is a dumb complaint that is only made by dumb people."
Snider later removed the offending review, but not before Rotten Tomatoes and other sites had screengrabbed it as evidence. He has since tweeted: "I apologise to those I offended who like to respond angrily to reviews they've only read one sentence of, of movies they haven't seen."
The critic can, at least, take solace in the fact that his verdict would not – after all – have singlehandedly ruined The Dark Knight Rises' 100% "fresh" rating on the site. So far, three critics out of a total of 35 have now given the final instalment in Nolan's Batman trilogy a negative review: Christy Lemire of the Associated Press, Chris Tookey of the Daily Mail and Marshall Fine of the Hollywood & Fine blog.
