Talk:History of the San Francisco Police Department

message: The page currently reads "Heavy drinking on the picket line became common and after striking SFPD officers started shooting out streetlights". 
The cited source reads: 
"On the first evening of the walkout, striking officers arrested three persons for allegedly firing shots at picketers outside the Ingleside District station. A photo-graph of police strikers firing at street lights in order to gain a better view of the snipers appeared on the front page of the Examiner, along with a report that two nearly empty bottles of whiskey were located on a card table used by picketers just outside the station. S.F. Examiner, Aug. 19, 1975, at 1, col. 5. Mayor Alioto rebutted charges of excessive drinking by noting that the consumption of liquor by striking officers was "proportionately not greater than drinking among supervisors, the mayor, or most other San Franciscans." 
I feel like the page currently misrepresents the source, and I will edit it accordingly.

message: November 19, 2014. I'm adding stuff here but m a little lazy about citations. I'm using The Arcadia Publishing book on the SFPD, google, the SF Chronicle and New york times.
I have references for every item on this list, mostly from local papers and the New York Times. However, it will take a little time to gather them. Please give me a moment Hank chapot 02:00, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The homicide case around victim Jenny Read has been held up by the lab scandal, with a piece of evidence important to the case being barred from use by a judge. Its an interesting cold case, both the lab scandal and her case should have articles.(mercurywoodrose)12.125.80.214 (talk) 16:05, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

message: lots of minor events, many without citations. this is a really poor, overly inflated list of trivia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.254.37.220 (talk) 01:01, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

message: This has become a tool in the battle against the SFPD, with a long list of recent news stories that show the dept in an unfavorable light. I dont see any stories showing things they did right, only all the news events that are disparaging, including public accusations against them. thats news, but its not noteworthy here. imagine "history of the US" listing every news story around the world reporting some group or individual accusing the US of something. would that be an NPOV article? of course not, even if ALL THE ACCUSATIONS WERE TRUE. im not going to try to fix this, but i wish the people adding would see how this hurts WP.(mercurywoodrose)2602:304:CFD0:6350:E9E7:94AC:555B:BEAA (talk) 20:52, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

message: You are welcome to add any positive articles you find to counterbalance the "unfavorable light", however, with google, every article that comes along can be argued as "history of the SFPD." Hank chapot (talk)Hank chapotHank chapot (talk)
