San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s police security team was attacked Thursday evening near the edge of the Tenderloin — leaving an officer bleeding from the back of his head after a chaotic street confrontation.
The mayor was not hurt in the incident, which unfolded just before 6 p.m. near Cedar Street, according to Mission Local.
One San Francisco Police Department officer assigned to Lurie’s security detail was left panting and bleeding after he slammed his head during a struggle with a suspect.
The mayor had been riding in a black SUV with the officer and a driver — also a cop — when three people allegedly blocked the vehicle in the street.
Lurie jumped out of the SUV and asked the group to move, the injured officer told responding cops.
At first, the trio appeared to comply. But things quickly took a turn when one man began “talking gibberish,” the officer said.
When the officer stepped in and ordered the man to move along, the suspect initially backed off — then suddenly came at him.
The officer grabbed the man’s upper body, but the two tumbled to the ground during the scuffle. The cop fell backward and struck his head on the pavement, leaving him bleeding.

Mayor Lurie should have stayed in his seat. When that group saw who was in the vehicle, they probably decided to make a big deal about it.

It’s them, Yogi.
This is not the typical response that occurs when an ordinary citizen is hassled by a couple of thugs. Usually, you're just on your own. But, in this case, an Important Person was involved. We all need to know our place.
Lurie probably didn't want the cop bleeding all over the leather upholstery of his black SUV.
Regards,
You protect a leftist, you pay the price. Zero sympathy.
