SUBJECT: Major Black Block Protest and Major Flash Mob Style Santacon Event, Union Square District
The SFPD and Ambassadors are coordinating efforts and will be on-site monitoring the demonstration. During the protest BID management will also be in the SFPD command post, that is set up for the protest, to help keep the SFPD in constant contact with the BID dispatcher, Ambassadors, and the merchants. The BID dispatch will send out updates on the protest. The protesters plan to try to enter Union Square Park and will try to knock down the Macy’s Holiday Tree. The police are well prepared and staffed for this protest and will work to protect the Holiday tree. The protesters may try to damage or vandalize other city or building properties. There will be a heavy police presence in the BID.
Other Protest – There will be a similar protest at 2PM beginning at the Ferry Building. The SFPD do not know where they will be marching but are asking the merchant to be on alert. This particular demonstration is by the group called “ANSWER”
Santas, remember the 5 F’s!
Don’t Fuck with police.
Don’t Fuck with kids.
Don’t Fuck with security.
Don’t Fuck with bartenders.
Don’t Fuck with Santa.
