The flags at all police stations in San Francisco were ordered flown at half mast for 10 days today to mourn the death of Sergeant Brian mcdonald. He died from multiple wounds inflicted by large staples packed into the bomb that exploded in the park police station Monday

00:00:24.860 - 00:00:46.310

night this afternoon, supervising police captain Jeremiah Taylor announced that plans are being made to build a ring around some police stations, a ring that would hopefully make them impregnable. I have just been informed killed, Sergeant Brian mcdonnell who just died at 12 14 today. So we're

00:00:46.319 - 00:01:01.939

going to move to get either plastic or ply board erected on the police stations in such a fashion that there is no ledge at the windows. We're also going to try and get the department of buildings or the public works, whoever is responsible to take some

00:01:01.950 - 00:01:15.209

action on the windows in the Hall of Justice. The building in which we now stand. The bottom floor of this building has many police officers in it, all of which would be susceptible to attack and we're going to try and get them to either block them

00:01:15.220 - 00:01:33.389

up to close them off or to install bulletproof and explosion proof plastic. We all agreed though that the window sills and ledges and the parapets that surround many of our police buildings should be done away with. As you know, this is the third occasion we've had

00:01:33.400 - 00:01:47.629

a police station bombed and on all past occasions, they've set the bomb on a window ledge and then disappeared and then the bomb would go off causing the damage. Chief Elder came in and addressed us and he brought up the point that it's possible that we

00:01:47.639 - 00:02:02.860

could give some protection to the station by erecting a 10 ft cyclone fence. And he wanted the captains to consider this. Uh We did consider this and it was a consensus of opinion that there were actually only three stations that could uh benefit from a 10

00:02:02.870 - 00:02:20.720

ft cyclone fence. And those are the park station, the Richmond and the ingleside. The centuries that were posted at San Francisco police stations yesterday will remain on duty indefinitely or until the saboteurs are found. And the feeling among many police officials is that a trend is

00:02:20.729 - 00:02:32.270

developing one that makes it necessary for police stations to be converted to quasi military installations to ensure their own survival. Eyewitness news, San Francisco.
