I’m grateful to hear that Ricky Pearsall has been released from the hospital. My thoughts are with him and his family, and I wish him a swift recovery.
Today, I visited Union Square to thank our
@SFPD officers for their dedication to keeping our city safe every day. Thanks to their swift response to yesterday’s robbery involving Ricky Pearsall, an immediate arrest was made. This action sends a clear message: if you come to San Francisco to commit crimes, our officers will arrest you, and our District Attorney will hold you accountable.
While violent crime is down in our city, accountability is essential whenever someone becomes a victim—no matter the neighborhood or time of day.
Walking around Union Square today with Marisa Rodriguez from the Union Square Alliance, I spoke with workers and shoppers and was reminded of our city’s resilience and the pride people take in being part of our future. We remain committed to building a strong, vibrant, and safe San Francisco.
