San Francisco restaurant bans armed officers, police union responds

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:31:55 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- A San Francisco restaurant is feuding with police on social media after the business implemented a policy that bans armed officers from entering. Reem's California announced the policy in an Instagram post on Friday, saying the reason is to have a "deep commitment to uplifting social and racial justice in our communities.""In a time of increased gun violence -- particularly impacting people of color, youth, and queer people -- we believe that maintaining a strict policy of prohibiting guns in our restaurant keeps us safer," Reem's wrote.The San Francisco Police Officer's Association, a union that represents officers, called out the restaurant on X, formerly known as Twitter. On Thursday, they said one of their officers was denied service last weekend because he was in uniform.

Vikings just wrapped up the preseason. Whose stock is up? And whose stock is down?

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:31:55 GMT

It’s pretty clear how Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell looks at the preseason. Though he sees some value in exhibition games, O’Connell would rather eat his hat than play his starters in a game that doesn’t count.That was on display when the Vikings hosted the Arizona Cardinals in the preseason finale Saturday at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings had more than 40 players on the sideline without pads, including starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, receiver Justin Jefferson, pass rusher Danielle Hunter and safety Harrison Smith, among so many others.The lack of star power throughout the preseason games did give some young players on the roster a chance to shine.Here’s a look at whose stock is up and whose stock is down ahead of cutdown day this week.UpJaren Hall (quarterback): Though he’s buried behind Cousins and backup Nick Mullens on the depth chart, Hall still seems to have the inside track at making the 53-man roster. Asked about the rookie quarte...

Seattle Sounders center back Yeimar both hurt and helped Minnesota United on Sunday. He scored for both teams in a 1-1 draw at Allianz Field.Minnesota (8-8-8, 32 points) can find some satisfaction with the one point netted because the Loons trailed Seattle in the first half and have historically struggled against the Sounders.MNUFC’s all-time MLS record against Seattle is now 1-11-2, ending a streak of four straight defeats since July 2021. The Loons have a minus-18 goal differential since 2017, and the Sounders are the only Western Conference club the Loons have not beaten more than once.Seattle (10-9-8, 37 points) is currently winless in its past four MLS matches.Sunday’s first half boiled down to two headers; Seattle made the most of it, and Minnesota missed its best chance.In the 17th minute, Yeimar won a free header in the box between the Loons’ Michael Boxall and Micky Tapias, and it went past goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair for a 1-0 lead. It was Seattle’s only shot on targe...

(AP) — IndyCar ironman Scott Dixon capitalized on needing to make only three pit stops and kept his championship hopes alive in winning Sunday’s Bommarito 500.The victory was the 55th of Dixon’s career and it came in his record-extending 320th consecutive start.
