“There are strong beliefs within the community that Bayview Hunters Point is a victim of environmental injustice, based on perceived political neglect concerning potential links between environmental hazards and disproportionately high rates of cancer and asthma. The Yosemite Watershed Restoration Project seeks to apply the well-demonstrated benefits of community-based monitoring to a struggle for environmental justice in Bayview Hunters Point.” – “Seeking Environmental Justice Through Public Participation: A Community-Based Assessment in Bayview Hunters Point,” Cambridge University Press, August 2006
Bobbing for bad apples: True accountability still elusive in the SFPD slaying of Keita OâNeil

On Dec. 1, 2017, Keita âIckyâ OâNeil was shot to death by former rookie police officer Christopher Samayoa, who was only four days on the job at the time of the killing. Icky was a suspect in the carjacking of a California state lottery van, a vehicle which he had just recently abandoned when he was gunned down.
Six days later, on Dec. 7, 2017, a customary SFPD townhall meeting revealed damning details, including the shooterâs own unintentionally recorded body cam footage, leading to public outcry and demands for accountability. It was underscored that Icky was unarmed at the time of his death.
