The Year of the Rabbit was greeted in San Francisco's Chinatown with a mix of drumbeats and heavy hearts for the victims of the mass shooting in Monterey Park, on the eve of Lunar New Year celebrations.
There was a noticeable police presence at this Lunar New Year kickoff event in Portsmouth Square with San Francisco Police officers and sheriff deputies on patrol.
"We will also make sure we increase our presence during the parade, any public gatherings and any public gathering we will be there," said SFPD Assistant Chief David Lazar. "We are alerting our volunteers and parade marshalls to be vigilant. If they spot something out of the ordinary, report it to officers," said San Francisco Lunar New Year Parade Director Harlan Wong.
In Oakland, police are also stepping up patrols for new year events. A statement reads, "OPD will continue to patrol the city of Oakland, providing additional resources and high visibility where necessary, including within our Chinatown community. The safety of our residents, businesses and visitors is of utmost importance."Oakland Chinatown Chamber Foundation President Carl Chan says after years of reported attacks on AAPI seniors, he had hope for 2023.
