The safety of all San Franciscans is at stake. Do they have the will?

To: All Members
From: Martin Halloran
Once again another planned terrorist attack in San Francisco has been foiled thanks solely to the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force.  That attack was planned for Christmas day at the popular and crowded tourist destination Pier 39. Everitt Jameson made such claims to undercover FBI agents stating that he knows Pier 39 is a crowded area and he could funnel people into an area where he could inflict casualties

Why were SFPD investigators not involved in yet another investigation surrounding self-radicalized ISIS sympathizers?  I will tell you why-because the SFPD pulled out of the task force in February 2017 and they, along with the San Francisco Police Commission and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, have done little to nothing to rejoin this organization.  The POA paid Public Service Announcement on KCBS radio, for the month of January, focuses on this question.

On December 26th Acting Mayor London Breeds statement to the media was "We will do everything we can to protect our city and if it means, looking at re-examining the task Force or anything else that could add to that, then we are open to it but no decisions have been made at this time."  The safety of all San Franciscans is at stake. The means are there for those who have the authority to get this done.  The question is, do they have the will?
