I listened to this press conference, and heard a lot of calls from the mayor and his allies for "unity." It rings *very* hollow to call for unity at a presser you didn't invite people to attend, or even tell them about.

I can confirm: no one who was part of planning this presser/campaign stunt invited Cam, or let us know it was happening.
But to not include or even inform the two Black Council Members who represent the area where the presser was held? Yikes.

They did manage to invite and give time to one of the people actively suing the City right now, to try to use the minimum staffing provision in the Charter (led by the police union in the '60s) to force the City to hire more police. Wonder if they ran that by the City Attorney?
This person - a longtime opponent of actually transforming our approach to public safety, married to a former CM who resolutely defended the status quo in his time in office - actually went after the absent CMs for not being there.
For the presser they weren't told about.
