The SFPD intends to stop the annual "Dolores Hill Bomb" skateboarding event from taking place adjacent to Mission Dolores Park. Andrea Nakano reports. (7-5-24)
San Francisco descending into madness. Organized gang shoplifting everywhere. Homeless dying everywhere from Chinese and Mexican fentanyl. But hey, don't let the kids skateboard!
@middleguy1776 did the skateboarders start selling drugs out in the open systematically break into cars steal en mass from stores until they left town? Did they drop trough and dump on the ground, did they rob people in daylight? Shut up
Stealing, open drug use, pooping and exposing genitalia to the public (including children), etc is ok but skateboarding is something they will not allowed because skateboarding is a crime.
Wow. The police need better priorities. They get aggressive with teen skaters, but not with adult sideshows, drug dealers in the Tenderloin, or mass robberies of Oakland gas stations?
@@BettyBlack99 you get real. I’m happy to pay income tax, sales tax, gas tax, and countless sin taxes if it means cops stop skaters. Leave the good bippers and users on the sidewalk alone and stop those skaters!
@@OGSleepyKoalayeah & my point is we pay all those taxes and have been horribly soft on crime. Failing to stop or arrest people who break the law. I don’t blame the cops. It’s the Govt
Power struggles never end well when you are dealing with youth. Do you want to wipe the nose or fix the cold? Try getting a combination of community and Pro Professional X-games for a fun day out skateboarding but with some limits! Make it a monthly event. Don’t try to this out with just cops. You are shooting yourselves in the foot and don’t even know it.
That's crazy how San Francisco Police intentionally pulled his car in front of a skateboard to make him crash SMH. BUT FOR BOTH SIDES EVERYONE LEARNS FROM THE MISTAKES.
Why not instead of Shutting it down and being the gringe on this, why doesn't the city/SFOPD close the street and allow this event to proceed and make it something regular???... encourage the culture and local community to do someothing instead of fighting Overprice Real estate, escalating crime, broken in cars etc..
"Unpermited. Unsanctioned. ....and there are no rules. THAT, is what we cannot allow." Well, there's your problem right there. The police state will not yield to the will of the people.
But the weekly sideshows that result in zero arrests and $70,000 of damage per intersection are fine... While this event (without police) results in ZERO damage. Everything that happened last year was because of how aggressive the police were. The police act like this with skaters, but when it comes to criminals with stolen cars slinging donuts loaded with guns, the cops show how tough they really are...
I don't mind the skaters skating elsewhere by themselves on a hill or ramp ! I believe the skaters should be financially responsible for any damages or injuries they cause! If they are underage, their parents should be held financially liable for their kid's action! Its only fair for other people who want nothing of these to be able to be compensated for their loss of time and injuries to both them, their families or their vehicle.
Before cars streets were used as public space, for gathering, commerce. through traffic was 5 mph, winding through the masses. Unfortunately people typically only know from their existence, thinking the 80 years or so of car dominance and dependence was always here. "The General Motors streetcar conspiracy" Ed Bacon City Planner and father to his actor son Kevin. at 92 skated with assistance in LOVE Park To protest Philadelphia's ban on skate boarding
SF also has BYOBW (Bring Your Own Big Wheel), and yet you don't hear about vandalism and disturbances at that event. Think about what makes the Hill Bomb different, and then try to blame the police.
Goodness gracious, the once most beautiful city in America has COMPLETELY turned into acute moronic behaviors. Just awful😖 God bless the police who need to deal with this nonsense.
they were just kids doing the wrong thing,only that,why the police?very simple,the streets are not yours,or your house or your room,if you want to vent your childlish behavior,do something constructive,take on art,learn to play music,help your community,act stupidly like this only causes one thing tragedy
Yeah they are for camps, drugs thugs and crime. Lousy gov should work WITH a fine healthy activity like this, not against it ONCE A YR. Good Grief, busybodies SUCK.
This is a known event that happens every year on the same day. Instead of closing the road and let them skate the police want to arrest. If these were black kids nothing would have been said
Stop it. The police aren’t making that decision bruh The elected officials tell the cops to. Try to learn something please and racism is awful. Just stop
@@user-ts7ns7bt2v Saying "if they were black kids, nothing would be..."....is actually siding for black kids, just the opposite of racism. To be ON the side of black kids is being FOR the black kids....
My god, once a democrat and now rethinking it with how backwards both these parties are. When I see these old people standing up for the kids right to skate down a hill is ridiculous. Someone got injured and now they are cracking down, just accept it. A perfect example of these people holding back the police for unwanted behavior is reflective in the rampant theft and crime in the city and how little they get penalized for it. I was once a democrat but I am thinking that both these parties are just groups of people that I don't want to be a part of.
"young kids, they were terrified." Crap. they were wild, out of control, Lord of the flies clowns acting like four year olds, dancing on skate boards. Cell.
San Francisco descending into madness. Organized gang shoplifting everywhere. Homeless dying everywhere from Chinese and Mexican fentanyl.
But hey, don't let the kids skateboard!
AN UNSANCTIONED EVENT, OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!
This is what the police are worried about in San Francisco?? are you serious?
So you missed what happened last year
@middleguy1776 did the skateboarders start selling drugs out in the open systematically break into cars steal en mass from stores until they left town? Did they drop trough and dump on the ground, did they rob people in daylight? Shut up
Yeah man, preventing serious brain damage isn’t worth stoping
@@middleguy1776 they arrest these guys but ignore thieves and robbery. Great policies.
@@kongvue5160 so laws are selective now? And police arrest them too but unfortunately they don't announce their crimes prior as these individuals did.
"If you don't include the children in the village, they will burn it down just to keep warm” ~African Proverb
"when they are unorganized, unpermitted, unsanctioned, and there are no rules at all" is the best description of SFPD ever
Why not make it an official event and get a permit and stuff?
Because they feel entitled
Lefties aren't known for following the laws they vote for.
Because there's no organizer for the event. It's just a tradition that popped out of nowhere
Do you really want to praise stupidity?
thats a dumb idea...This whole thing is to be free of that the just meet up....
Those are kids. Lol. They're 18 to 30 year olds.
"They're cold". Its July, lady. Its not January on the Chicago lakefront.
Stealing, open drug use, pooping and exposing genitalia to the public (including children), etc is ok but skateboarding is something they will not allowed because skateboarding is a crime.
Those zebra pants are crazy

Way to be tough on crime. I'm so happy to pay taxes knowing this is what it goes to.
Get real. It’s CA. And worse, it’s SF

How can he say they aren’t looking to ruin anyone’s fun?
go after the fety dealers downtown not the skaters🗣️
2025: SFPD barricades every basketball court and football field, to prevent injuries😂
What a waste of city money, police go do more important work
No coz the rules prevent them from doing serious police work... So they do this lame PR show instead of hanging out at the donut shop.

Odd that they would do anything about skaters, when crime is legal there.
It was one accident and the rich people overact.
It never used to be that bad, but arguably since 2020 these things have gotten more violent.
Are you serious? Kids having fun, the violence is *everywhere else* in these Leftist hellhole streets.
All it takes is a couple of bad apples to ruin it for everyone else.
A couple? This is typical behavior of the " skating community "
If only SFPD put this much effort into stopping crime
Of course the cops want to be tough on skaters and not actually criminals. Its easier.
What a pant!!!
Those bike racks can't qualify as barricades.. They're just a suggestion.
That's crazy how San Francisco Police intentionally pulled his car in front of a skateboard to make him
crash SMH. BUT FOR BOTH SIDES EVERYONE LEARNS FROM THE MISTAKES.
If citizens want to use a public street for a short time they should not be attacked by police for doing so,
LOL! Skate Dawgs!
So send them to Oakland, Oakland doesn't seem to really care after all.
Agree
Lmao 😂

Major police error. Support and organize, could bring money to local businesses.

And yet they have one more death than the sideshows.
Side show = illegal, the " bomb " also = illegal. NOT LEGAL, NOT LEGAL, NOT LEAGAL!
Because side shows have a different majority demographic that are considered to be protected as a class.
Yup… add the looting in the retail / grocery stores and gas stations.
Priorities...
The Chief needs to go packing.........................
Meanwhile, stores are getting robbed blind but please stop these skaters😂
They need to build them a park, I am sure taxpayers would appreciate it as well as the skaters!
Meanwhile, in san francisco, it's legal to steal, do drugs and break into cars. But skateboarding is wrong
theyre the ones doing it bro..durr
Yes and Democrats can’t wait to vote for another four years of death and tragedy.
@@Spazzfrom.1989exactly. Where the street kids gather… the crime follows

It's amazing how quickly society collapses when you stop enforcing the law
Lunging down the road! The horror.
Just build a new skatepark for skaters
It’s ok to rob just about anything and anyone in SF but not roll down a street on a skateboard?
A world where the good guys are now the bad guys
RIP San Fran
So this is more important than all theft through land grabs?
Skateboarding is not a crime!
Unless, of course, it's done properly.

THAT WOULD BE HOSTILE AND DOMINOS TU GUY
Priorities aye
But there’s hella violence and open drug use in sf, so why go after skaters? They working backwards af.
It’s ALWAYS the police fault. It’s never the fault of these crazy lunatics, now is it?
Police need some job security so why not show up and get paid.
Sara is One Cool Chick
agreed, she knows what she is doing 🔥
kids want to ride their skateboard, who gives a phk. Lett'em ride.
SF also has BYOBW (Bring Your Own Big Wheel), and yet you don't hear about vandalism and disturbances at that event. Think about what makes the Hill Bomb different, and then try to blame the police.
Why not send those officers to the Tenderloin District where people are begging for an intensified police presence
I do love fun pants.😊
It's difficult to stop large crowds of ignorant kids from doing ignorant things.
obviously it was too difficult to stop yourself from making an ignorant comment
What an ignorant comment
THE HORROR! THE HORROR! MEANWHILE, TRUMP IS STILL FREE.
Young Men don't need much encouragement to risk their lives...but crowds cheering it on is straight up Ghoulish
Weird comment
just a bunch of kids 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crackdown on a sanctioned event sounds like targeting to me.
Annual event.
Ridiculous 😅
Goodness gracious, the once most beautiful city in America has COMPLETELY turned into acute moronic behaviors. Just awful😖
God bless the police who need to deal with this nonsense.
Too much freedom
Let people enjoy yourself for a few hours
No

SFPD couldn't find anything else better to do with their time
So disband them
Streets are not for skateboards.
@@sirjasonakana 🤡
Yeah they are for camps, drugs thugs and crime.
Lousy gov should work WITH a fine healthy activity like this, not against it ONCE A YR. Good Grief, busybodies SUCK.
they most certainly are my friend
Hooliganism.
No such thing as a talented skater.
Skateboarding is not a crime.
Stupid comments
SF should spend billions of dollars on food and housing for skaters to help tackle this problem.
What ever happen to ( NO ONE ABOVE THE LAW ) 🤫😂😂😉
Ride your boards in your own home.
mamma said not too
@@timg2973 Then you should get your own home. Hahaha!
seriously? why would they do that?
I don't understand why don't these kids robb people, i mean they dont stop them robbers
Please jail all the cry babes and the adult..
Crying crying....
Those pants are horrendous
Skateboarding sucks.
2:13 Denzel Washington ??
White people think all black people look alike.
NO!!!!! THAT'S SAN FRANCISCO POLICE CHIEF BILL SCOTT!!!!!
@@Jnthncrrll😂😂😂
Why not make it legitimate, and actually get a permit? Oh sorry - that's something adults would do. You're only in your 40s.

Go figure 🐊
Sf is a hell hole now!we don’t go there for vacation anymore.
S.F.P. D. is a joke! 😂
~ Not a whole lot of Tax Payers show up for this one ~
Why don't they just have a different 🤔 place to get together 🙄 and have and organize 😮thing 🤔
Who dressed her? 😂😂😂😂
The usual suspects, spoiled rich SF kids, question remains where is the parents?
Funny about this is mostly of the participants are outsiders and not from the city.. 😂😂..

California too much trouble
RULES ARE RULES WITH RULES FOR RULES 😅
Skateboarding IS a crime.
Blaming the cops for terrorizing kids.....you wonder why your city is a pile of crap.
This is anarchy!
The police can put spike strips down temporarily to prevent the skateboarders from racing down the street.
Why Bay area is the places to Vacations for All the Worl but we know is not the Safe Area only Crimes Area
"young kids, they were terrified." Crap. they were wild, out of control, Lord of the flies clowns acting like four year olds, dancing on skate boards. Cell.
This city needs a new mayor and chief of SFPD,vote them out
