SF City HallIt is day 13 of a hunger strike in San Francisco seeking the removal of police chief Greg Suhr — we speak live to one of the strikers as they prepare to march on city hall. Plus: are you sharing with more people than you know? We talk to Ali Winston about the growing use of social media surveillance tools by local police. Finally: Puerto Rico defaults on a massive debt payment — we discuss why, and what’s next.
