[ chanting ] >> reporter: protestors upset that san francisco police shot and killed 19-year-old kenneth harding, who was on parole for raping a juvenile in seattle. washington police also called him a person of interest in a fatal shooting last week in seattle. on saturday, harding was riding a muni bus in the bayview when officers entered the bus checking for proof of payment. police say harding ran off the bus and fired a gun at officers. officers then returned fire and killed him. the aftermath of the shooting caught on cell phone video. even though san francisco police have released evidence of what they say is proof harding fired at officers, these protestors say that doesn't matter. now, police say he fired on them first. isn't this a justified police shooting? >> no. it's really not, man, because they didn't have to kill him, you know what i mean? they could have -- you know what i mean? it all don't make no sense, now what i mean?

the march started at dolores park when they arrived here in the castro.ers smoke bombed the muni station here and disrupted service along market. at the mission police station someone threw an hammer at officers. no one was hurt. marchers demanding more police accountability after saturday's shooting death of kenneth harding. two officers had tried to stop harding at the muni station in bayview because he didn't have a proper transfer ticket. harding ran and started firing his gun at officers. at least one of the officers shot back, hit harding. as you can see in the cell phone video after the shooting harding is laying on the ground while an angry crowd surrounds police and started yelling at them. he ended up dying later at the hospital. harding was on parole and wanted for questioning in a shooting death of a young woman in seattle. there's been anger. over the weekend a young group of people apparently attacked a couple muni bus drivers by throwing objects at them slightly injuring one of them. so again, a community meeting called tonight by san franc

anyone who has seen the muni right of way through dolores park knows that it is in bad shape, to say the least. there is graffiti. there's all sorts of other blights that happened there. to be honest, mta has not done a great job of maintaining that area and has not done a good job cooperating with rec and park to make sure the area is clean and safe. i want them to be there and i want new jersey to report on what it is due to improve the park and how it will be working with iraq in part to cooperate. i also want to note that on saturday night in the castro, we have our annual pinks saturday party. last year, there were shootings at the party. we made an extra effort this year to improve security, and it was -- although there are always incidents, there were no major incidents, no major violence, and despite a huge crowd -- i want to congratulate and thank the sisters of perpetual indulgence organized the event and did a great job and enhanced security as well as the police department, adult probation, and juvenile probation for working closely with the sisters to make sure it was sa

dolores park now is being invaded, or has already been invaded, with these boxes. one of the neighborhood groups is the coalition for san francisco neighborhoods. they have, to my recollection, unanimously approved these boxes. you cannot hide behind it -- well, you can hide behind these boxes. they are a big push. this is a major oversight if you allow them to go over to go ahead with these boxes. the public is saying do not do this. i happen to be a small part of the public. the rest of it is against this. ignoring public opinion against these monstrosities while favoring at&t lobbyists could indicate some transparent act that is outside the view of the public. nobody knows hear how many things have been discussed and transpired. thank you. >> i have been living in san francisco for 20 years. i feel the at&t boxes will make the streets more crowded and will affect the appearance of our neighborhoods. for example, the lot of the pictures we saw were graffitied. one of the recommended changes to the street is a sidewalk graffiti policy. thank you. >> david troupe.
