San Francisco Police Chief George Gascón has been on an apology tour this week after making controversial remarks about terrorism and Middle Easterners - and the dustup is likely to lead to changes in the Police Department and at City Hall.
Gascón reportedly said last week the Hall of Justice is susceptible to a terrorist attack by members of the city's Middle Eastern community parking a van in front of it and blowing it up.
Despite reports to the contrary from people in attendance, Gascón said he never lumped all Middle Easterners or Arab Americans together, but instead referred to people from Yemen and Afghanistan as posing potential threats. He later apologized.
This week, he has held several meetings in his office with Arab Americans, visited the Yemeni Consulate and today is due to speak at a prayer gathering of Arab Americans. Organizers said they expect more than 1,000 people to attend.
Also today, organizers plan to present a list of requests to the chief including mandatory cultural competency and sensitivity training for officers and department brass in regards to dealing with Arab Americans and regular community forums to be attended by Arab Americans and department representatives.

“the Hall of Justice is susceptible to a terrorist attack by members of...”
The legion of doom?
political correctness,
the downfall of europe
and now our future.

WTF is cultural competency?
Just like they have in Riyadh, Mecca, Cairo...
This guy sounds like Kermit the Frog when he talks too.
“The threat is real and there is nothing to apologize for.”
S.F. Police Chief Gascón, imitating Obummer, bows to Arabs
The CIA surprisingly clarifies the “Hispanic race” nonsense and breaks down ethnicity as follows:
ETHNIC GROUPS
[White 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate)
note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean persons of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin including those of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, Spanish, and Central or South American origin living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15.1% of the total US population is Hispanic.]
OOOOO-RAH! CRACKERS RULE!

Must be very humilating to have to crap all over yourself apologizing after you told the truth. But hey, he should have known in SF the truth is not important, only catering to sewer dwelling radicals of all stripes.
Did you know he was in running to be LAPD police chief when Bratton retired even Tony Villar wouldn’t want him
What a gutless wonder. Typical chief. Maybe we need to mail him some new knee pads as he’s got to be wearing his out.
