As pro-democracy protests continue into their second week in Iran, the Iranian leadership has deployed drones to guide police officers and snipers attempting to quell the anti-government protests in Tehran and other major cities.

The protests have seen the protesters calling for the return of the Shah, which ruled Iran from 1941 to 1979, when the former Shah was overthrown by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini,

President Donald J. Trump, who is monitoring the situation from the White House, said that Iran will face hard consequences if it continues to kill protesters in the pro-democracy demonstrations in major cities across Iran.

The Iranian government has cut access to the internet and is attempting to impose a communications blackout throughout the country.

There are also reports of massacres of protesters throughout Iran.

San Francisco, California Mayor Daniel Lurie announced plans to launch a Rapid Enforcement, Support, Evaluation, and Triage (RESET) Center, a major step to get drugs and drug users off the streets.

As part of Mayor Lurie’s Breaking the Cycle initiative, the RESET Center will provide an alternative to jail or hospitalization for individuals who are arrested under the influence of drugs—getting people in crisis off the street and law enforcement officers back on patrol more quickly.

The center is set to open this spring and will be located at 444 6th Street, next door to the Hall of Justice. Pilot operations will focus on public intoxication in neighborhoods South of Market.

Individuals at the center will be transported by law enforcement after being placed under arrest for public intoxication. The center will provide onsite care in a monitored setting staffed by trained professionals. Once able to care for themselves, people will be eligible for release.

The center will be overseen by the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office, with support from the Department of Public Health (DPH), and run by Connections Health Solutions. It will provide a location for individuals using drugs to get stabilized and be connected to treatment.

To further address the behavioral health and homelessness crisis, Mayor Lurie has launched three new recovery-focused interim housing programs, and is transforming the city’s response to the crisis—creating integrated neighborhood-based street outreach teams and introducing new policies to end the distribution of smoking supplies without connection to treatment.

“As long as I’m mayor, it will not be acceptable to deal drugs or do drugs on our streets,” said Mayor Lurie. “We are making a fundamental change to San Francisco’s approach to the fentanyl crisis. Instead of cycling through jails and emergency rooms, those using drugs on our streets will have a chance to enter treatment and our law enforcement officers will get back on patrol more quickly. San Francisco’s families deserve clean and safe streets and we’re going to be relentless in delivering that.”
