Every San Francisco Police Station Is Being Required To Hang A Black Lives Matter Sign

The San Francisco Police Commission within the San Francisco Police Department has passed a resolution ordering every district station to put up a Black Lives Matter sign within 30 days, according to NBC Bay Area.

The controversial move has faced criticism from the San Francisco Police Officers Association (SFPOA), which questioned whether it was right to endorse political organizations in a letter sent through a law firm to the police department.

“This resolution is merely a small gesture to show that this commission and our department stands in solidarity for the support of Black lives,” the commission saidin a statement to local news outlet KGO.

The resolution was passed last Tuesday and has been supported by Black police officers who say it will help them feel more at home within the city’s police department.

“It opens the opportunity for someone who looks like me to feel like they’re going to be understood and not prejudged,” Yulonda Williams of Officers for Justice told NBC Bay Area.

Local news outlet KPIX reported that the 32-by-24 posters were approved unanimously by the commission, but union members are already expressing extreme opposition to the move.
