PubSecAlliance Is In the News
We all made the news today. This popular website did a story on the San Francisco POA’s petition drive to force the City’s Board of Supervisors to rescind their vote to have a day of honor for a convicted felon who tried to kill an innocent victim.
For those of you who signed the petition—a big thank you! If you haven’t signed it, there’s still time. In the posting, San Francisco POA President Marty Halloran, credits PubSecAlliance and American Police Beat with getting the petition out to all of you.
Thanks so much for your response. Much appreciated. – Cynthia
From the story:
A petition created by an anonymous individual seeks to challenge the Board of Supervisors’ recent decision to declare July 22 a day in honor of Mario Woods. The petition calls the Supervisors to task for their vote, and is being widely shared and promoted on social media by the San Francisco Police Officers Association.
“The recent actions by the Board of Supervisors has stirred many debates,” Martin Halloran, president of SFPOA, wrote yesterday on Facebook. “A citizen, not associated with the POA, has established an ‘I Petition’ campaign denouncing the ‘Day of Remembrance’ for Mario Woods. Our law enforcement allies at American Police Beat and PubSecAlliance have forwarded this petition, at the request of the POA, to law enforcement associations throughout the country.”
The petition, titled “‘NO’ Mario Woods ‘Remembrance Day,'” went live on January 27, and as of this writing has over 6,700 signatures.
Whoever is behind the petition has refused to identify herself publicly, but spoke with the Examiner about her motives on the condition of anonymity.”
