Jonah,

Could you clarify for me whether or not any of the witnesses claimed to have seen Hays attempt to tackle one of the officers?

Last I read it, it appeared as though it was only the officers who claimed that Hays did anything and that none of the witnesses verified the officer's claims.

Thanks!

I used to get beat by cops in San Francisco all the time, there no one at all cares.

It's great that you guys bring this stuff to light

So, don't tackle cops, you won't get your head smashed into the pavement. Jesus Christ, why is this even newsworthy?

Do you mean, if two guys jump out of an unmarked SUV and come after you, don't fight back, because they might be police, and in that case, defending yourself might result in you having your head smashed into the pavement?

These officers were undercover. Why are we wasting police time on undercover anti-jaywalking operations? I hear all the time that our police force is understaffed. It sounds like they had some extra time on their hands that night.
