Senator Boxer, Mayor Newsome Hating on SF District Attorney Kamala Harris
Many of San Francisco's 53 homicides have been Black-On-Black crimes in Bayview Hunters Point, a fact that District Attorney Kamala Harris focused on when she appealed to African Americans to step forward as witnesses so the bloodshed can stop. Harris has also worked to nail down 10 arrest warrants against violent drug dealers while a Grand Jury was releasing a series of indictments.
