Why this petition matters

READ THE TWEET FROM HAMASAKI BELOW:

We demand John Hamasaki resigns from his position as San Francisco Police Commissioner immediately. On Twitter, Hamasaki shared a tweet, and stated "Uncomfortable truth: Taking a gun from one kid may as likely stop violence as end up in that kid getting killed. It may feel good to post this photo, but I've known too many kids who were killed for being in the wrong neighborhood (often their own) & unable to protect themselves".

Basically, Hamasaki believes arming teens is okay, even if the gun is not registered and illegal. 

Supervisor Catherine Stefani quickly spoke out explaining "Commissioner, this sends the absolute wrong message. Shootings have spiked over the course of the past. year, killing far too many young people in our city. If your not up for the task of keeping all San Franciscans safe, you should step aside".

About a day later, Supervisor Ahsha Safai stated "Teenagers should NEVER be allowed to carry an illegal firearm. I stand with SupStefani and myrnamelgar's sentiment that Hamasaki is no longer fit to serve. Resign NOW (Hamasaki)".
