Police officers in San Francisco walked off the job after the board of supervisors rejected their 13 percent pay demand and approved a 6.5 percent raise. About 100 pickets lined at the Hall of Justice and entrances, with some officers forming lines while others reported for duty in uniform. Firefighters also seek 13 percent raises as city officials prepare emergency plans to maintain public safety.
