An unvarnished opinion of the SFPD's miserable failure to prevent violence at last Tuesday's anti-Israel riot in front of the consulate on Montgomery Street in San Francisco, at which the Palestinians and their supporters attacked Jews, can be found here: http://anarchozionist.blogspot.com/2010/07/counter-demo-post-mortem.html
Quote: "I personally witnessed Dick Becker, along with a small mob of assholes, stop a brother of mine from attempting to make his way back to our crowd. Becker got in his face, and as usual, the cops were slow to respond. In the end, my friend was cited for battery, EVEN THOUGH he wasn't the one who got physical - that was Dick "small dick" Becker."
I will not comment on the allegation that Richard Becker is small. He may very well be tiny, not that there's anything wrong with that. It's a matter of judgement - five foot six is normal in some parts of the world.
Quote: "Another brother used his horn too close to a younger person, and she had him cited for assault, even though he also never laid a hand on her. "
A shofar is not an accordion, so I fail to see the offense. Berkeleyites and Palestinians may have different standards.
Not that there's anything right with that.
Quote: "Another brother was assaulted by a rabid-antisemitic goon, twice his size."
Personally, I believe that the San Francisco Police Department only stepped in when they realized that a Jew killed at an anti-Semitic rally would make them look bad. Or maybe they were afraid that he would win the battle....... which would also make them look bad, but only in San Francisco and Berkeley.
What's clear is that the SFPD failed, massively failed, to stop violence being used against pro-Israel activists trying to excercise their constitutionally protected right to free speech. This is, unfortunately, typical - both in Berkeley and in San Francisco.
It's almost as if the pro-Hamas side has important friends, not only in city government, nut also among the law enforcement agencies.

San Francisco violence against Jews
The following three violent Jew-beating incidents are brought to you by the members of the SF Board of Supervisors who enable or encourage popular anti-Semitism by expressing their hatred of Israel.
It is also brought to you by the numerous opinionated politically correct windbags for whom SF is the centre of the world, and by the letter J.
Incident ONE
Several angry Palestinians and their supporters attack one old Jewish man wearing a kippa and blowing a shofar. This happened on the sidewalk in front of the Israel consulate before an anti-Israel protest on Tuesday July 6, after four o'clock. There were about fifty or sixty people present – thirty Palestinians and their friends (International ANSWER members, Codepink, etc.), twenty police officers (SFPD), and maybe ten Jews. Once violence broke out, the mob rushed the elderly Jewish gentleman with arms flailing, intent on mischief.
For several seconds, no one intervened, not even the SFPD. It is quite likely that the San Francisco officers were unfamiliar with even the very idea of 'violence'.
The pro-Palestinian side notes the accusation that the Jew had committed a shocking and offensive act by blowing a shofar, and shows more of the rally here.
They did not put the actual incident itself on youtube.
Incident TWO
Richard Becker and his posse get rowdy with another Jewish gentleman. Several courageous Palestine supporters, one Jew.
Same place as the above incident, with much the same police response.
Incident THREE
Big Palestinian wrestler tries to strangle a weasely little man holding an Israeli flag directly in front of the Israeli Consulate. After several minutes, the police intervene. For which they are roundly cursed by Forrest Schmidt of International ANSWER (Richard Becker's handyman and household servant).
The three Jews involved were all cited by the police. Jews are supposed to be passive.
Whereas critics of Israel are examples embraced by a large segment of the San Francisco population, and have the moral support of Chris Daly, David Campos, Sophie Maxwell, John Avalos, and other members of the SF Board of Supervisors.
