> Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin took the highly unusual step of moving the mayor’s regular monthly appearance at the board meeting down the block to U.N. Plaza, which has been an epicenter of drug dealing and stolen goods sales. The Q&A, which allows one supervisor per month to pose a question to the mayor, was meant to put Breed on the hot seat. But as Breed spoke at U.N. Plaza, scattered boos emanated from the crowd and the interruptions intensified. Protesters shouted “no more cops,” apparently a reference to Breed advocating for more police to address open-air drug dealing.
> After the crowd got rowdy and loud, Peskin abruptly ended the 11-minute meeting, which was expected to cost the city more than $4,600. A protester was later arrested for allegedly throwing a brick, which hit a student’s foot.
