The New York Post reports that the San Francisco mayor got to experience some diversity and inclusiveness up close, stating:
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s police security team was attacked Thursday evening near the edge of the Tenderloin, the city’s most infamous drug-plagued neighborhood — leaving an officer bleeding from the back of his head after a chaotic street confrontation.
The mayor was not hurt in the incident, which unfolded just before 6 p.m. near Cedar Street, according to Mission Local.
One San Francisco Police Department officer assigned to Lurie’s security detail was left panting and bleeding after he slammed his head during a struggle with a suspect.
Tony Phillips, who was booked on suspicion of murder in 2019 but never faced charges, was arrested in the incident.
Another article relates that the reason that Phillips never faced charges was because "[t]hen-District Attorney George Gascon tossed out Phillips’ murder case due to a lack of evidence, according to the San Francisco Examiner," even though the fatal stabbing was caught on surveillance video.
Per Wikipedia, Lurie is an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, executive director of the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, and has an extensive background running charities that take taxpayer money and ... do something with it that supposedly is to help alleviate poverty. (But we know how that system works). One of his key achievements was working to reduce homelessness in San Francisco. After becoming mayor, "On September 30, 2025, Lurie hosted the consul general of China in a flag-raising ceremony and proclaimed October 1, 2025, the National Day of the People's Republic of China, as 'China-US Friendship and Heritage Day.'" And yet he is described as a centrist Democrat.
