Police accountability activists have asked the FBI to probe the "continuous and systemic" harassment of volunteers who worked on the petition drive that landed Proposition B on San Antonio's May 1 citywide ballot.
That ballot measure — hotly opposed by the San Antonio Police Officers Association (SAPOA) — would strip SAPD officers of their ability to collectively bargain for new labor contracts. Supporters of the proposition say it's needed to rein in the union's protection of bad cops.
