This small group of officers had no training, uniform and equipments, and no office to work. To solve this problem, Fallon housed them in a schoolhouse at Portsmouth Square in 1849 and use it as the police station as well as a justice court. The City also acquired a brigantine and modified it as jail, nicknamed the "brig". Failure to keep prisoners from escaping prompted the people to organize their first committee of Vigilance to help deter crime.
In 1850, the city council acquired the Graham House Hotel at Pacific and Montgomery streets and outfitted it as city hall. The police station was moved to the bottom floor. After San Francisco obtained its first charter in late 1950, an elected marshal oversaw the department. The department underwent its first major reorganization: the city was divided into three districts and each served by one police station; the strength of the force is increased up to 75 men. While the police force underwent major changes, lack of organizational success prompted the people to organize committee of Vigilance in 1851 and 1856.

SFSU, known as San Francisco State Normal School, was founded as a state-funded vocational school for teachers in 1899. It soon became the first institutions in America to require high school diplomas. As the school expanded its curriculum, it became known as

Anti-cnn (www.anti-cnn.com)[1] is a website established by Rao Jing, a 23 year old Chinese student, in response to what it claims are "the lies and distortions of facts of the Western media" concerning the 2008 Tibetan unrest and the People's Republic of China as a whole. The site says that its purpose is to "collect, classify, and exhibit the misbehaviors of Western media".[2] According to the website, the phrase "anti-cnn" does not exclusively indicate its objection to the American company CNN, but also to many other Western media sources, including the BBC, Der Spiegel, La Repubblica, n-tv, Bild, Fox News Channel and RTL.
Jing was interviewed by China Central Television in a programme with the name "正告CNN：中国网民为何愤怒" of "东方时空", in which he said that he established site to "expose the facts, to make the facts publicized to as many people as possible". The site now claims about 500,000 visits per day, 60% of which are from China.[3]
Some of the site's targets have replied to the charges made. CNN made a formal response to the charges of the cropping of cover pictures and mismatching captions, but asserted that the selection of material was "appropriate for the editorial context, and will not cause any confusion".[4] Der Spiegel mentioned the site in an editorial, where it referred to the arguement over the credibility of Western media on this particular issue with the headline "the war over words". Der Spiegel however refused to respond to the charges made, implying that the site is part of "Chinese propaganda". They also blamed the Chinese government's media control policy, saying that it forces the media to turn to "hard to confirm" evidence and "increases the risk of making mistakes and errors"; which in turn "makes it easier for the Chinese authorities to accuse them".[5]
This site first received global attention in the Chinese Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Qin Gang's regular press conference on 27 March 2008, when he was asked to comment on the website. The journalist put forward this question with the view that Chinese government had financed or supported anti-cnn.com, but Qin Gang's response was that " It is these irresponsible and unethical reports that infuriated our people to voice voluntarily their condemnation and criticism."[6]
