They all filed police reports because they felt threatened but have no issue with everyday citizens and tourists in SF enduring far worse than inebriated vitriol.

Not sure why you are downvoted. This is correct. Ordinary citizens have had to put up with so much worse in their day to day lives in SF due to the lack of these supes doing their jobs. I can attest, I have lived in SF over the last 7 years and have seen its decline.

Tan's tweet was reprehensible, but I doubt it rises to the level of criminality. With respect to his inebriiation, as my elementary school teacher used to say, " While it explains, it does not excuse."

But I think a sincere mea culpa should end the incident.

Downvote be cause it is an unsubstantiated claim, speaks to a state of mind (which implies the ability to mind read, short of that ot is casting a stereotype/assumption), finally, the criticism is "what-about-ism"

From a Seattle perspective, the "seattle is dying narrative" has been going on for a decade, despite the city having thr most cranes on its skyline and being a boom city for that time. Which is to say, confirmation bias is a bitch.

The problem is that this argument is a logical fallacy. Threats to civic leaders are wrong. Whether or not they are good leaders does not change the wrongness of the threats.

Probably downvoted for "Two wrongs make a right" fallacy. Basically if A does something bad, an irrational/tribal behavior is to disregard the problem by bringing up an unrelated bad behavior of another party. Two wrongs make two wrongs.

That's (whatboutism) not a logical fallacy. I meant it can be, but I don't see how it is in this case.
