The event was hosted by a community organizer and sponsored by the SFPD and SF SAFE, a local public outreach group that frequently partners with the SFPD, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/politics\/article\/San-Francisco-police-event-devolves-17159274.php\">SFGate<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CdCQqxappst\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\">video<\/a> of the protest was posted to Instagram by a user called \u201cDoggTown Dro,\u201d a rapper and anti-police activist from the area. The video, which is more than 7 minutes long, shows protesters yelling \u201cf*** the police,\u201d \u201cBlack Lives Matter,\u201d and other anti-police slogans. One protester, speaking into a microphone, claims that the police are \u201con trial for murder\u201d and that black people are facing a \u201cgenocide.\u201d At one point, the protester yells \u201cyou should be ashamed of yourselves\u201d to a family taking a picture with a police officer. The protesters continue to yell at customers and blare loud music, causing the customers to cover their ears and turn away. \u201cYeah, cover your ears,\u201d one protester yells.<\/p>\n<p>At one point during the video, shop owner Alice Kim and her husband go out and talk to the protesters. The protester with the megaphone yells at the couple for comparing recent property damage to the death of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktvu.com\/news\/sf-to-pay-2-5m-to-slain-unarmed-carjacking-suspect\">Keita O\u2019Neil<\/a>, who was shot by police in 2017. Kim told SFGate in the aftermath of the incident that she thought the protesters were there to ask for more policing, and tried to use her story of property damage to relate to the protesters. She said that, because of a language barrier, she did not understand the protesters. \u201cWe didn\u2019t understand the terms they used and what was going on,\u201d Kim told the outlet. \u201cIf we understood better we can react better, but no one explained it to us and we don\u2019t understand what that means. We can\u2019t properly react.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kim also criticized the video for only showing what the protesters wanted to show. \u201cThey only used the parts they want to show,\u201d she said. \u201cThe customers were scared, kids were crying and I don\u2019t think they posted all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to SFGate, critics of police, including the protesters, have labeled events like \u201cIce Cream with a Cop,\u201d which seek to promote a positive image of police, \u201ccopaganda.\u201d The term was brought to public attention last week at a meeting of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, when one member criticized such public relations. \u201cOur city departments\u2019 press units should be used to share factual information, not to sensationalize and spin crime data, undermine police oversight, or normalize racial disparities in use of force against people of color within our city,\u201d said Supervisor Dean Preston, as reported by SFGate.<\/p>\n<p>Kim told the outlet she was upset at being swept up into politics. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be part of political issues,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m really sad and not comfortable because people are sending us messages saying, \u2018you should go out of business.\u2019 The world can be scary. Every day I watch the video. I\u2019m still having all those nightmares of people coming and harassing my family. At this moment, I\u2019m a little shaken, too.\u201d She said she does not anticipate hosting any more of such events in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ice cream shop in San Francisco became embroiled in the ongoing \u201cdefund the police\u201d movement after anti-police protesters descended on an event held at the shop.Joe\u2019s Ice Cream, a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":189,"featured_media":1482409,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1470570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1470570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/189"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1470570"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1470570\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1482409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1470570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1470570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1470570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
