Typically, I will only go to political events that feature candidates that I am inclined to support. I don’t recall ever driving two hours just to go see someone that I totally disagree with; let alone get there so early that I’m on the front row. But this doesn’t seem to be a barrier to…

Many of the videos were shot for a retirement party for one of their fellow officers. The skits are mild and mostly inside jokes for officers at the Bayview Station. This station serves Hunter’s Point. For…
