Mayor Breed today made her first public comments about the shooting death of a Black trans man by a Walgreens security guard in SF last month.
in light of transparency.
This incident has also highlighted the issue of armed security guards to protect retail spaces in San Francisco. Sup. Dean Preston this week introduced legislation that would limit the ability for security guards to use guns in San Francisco. "Human life is more important than property," he said. That legislation echoes something activists have been calling for. Friends of Brown say he was an active community organizer for the Young Women's Freedom Center.
The organization also wants Walgreens to eliminate armed guards. "It's insane that Walgreens has armed security, there's nothing in that store worth a human life, and Walgreens is not taking care of our community," Jessica Nowlan from Young Women's Freedom Center said in the days following the shooting.
Breed's statement concludes that the city must continue to invest in trans and African American communities.
