Is this some kind of sick joke? If not what the fuck, how could anyone hug an SFPD officer after all the shit they have been doing to us since Saturday and in recent years, not to mention all the shit that SFPD has done to the Hunter's Point/Bayview Community lately and people of color in the city in general. Don't forget Cammerin Boyd and the notion of racial justice(aka the day that rtc dedicated to the idea on monday). anyway if this is true...What's the cops name and what the hell is wrong with the Green Bloc?

um, I think it's a joke. I think it's a silly ha-ha about how from the perspective of the photo, it looks like the cop is in the hug. I'm quite sure the cop was just behind the people hugging.

Relax, I mean, even if green bloc people were that blissed out from too much time in the sun, do you really think a cop would submit to a group hug?

I was one of the persons in the group hug. We did NOT hug the police commander.
