1/I published an op-ed in @time explaining why I’ve introduced a regulation that would limit pretext stops in SF. Here’s why you should support it, regardless of your politics. THREAD time.com/6175852/pretextual-…

Forty police arrests.
Zero charges filed by the DA.
"It sure sounds like the DA was saying that the cops just violated 40 people’s rights," a veteran officer said.

Over at SCOTUS, Justices Sotomayor and Gorsuch encourage defense counsel to keep pushing the originalist argument that misdemeanor arrests require a warrant if the crime is not committed in an officer's presence. supremecourt.gov/opinions/24… #N

This is an incredible resignation letter from SDNY prosecutor Hagan Scotten. It’s the type of thing you show your kids as an example of how to be.

Today I issued Letter of Inquiry into the dangerous San Francisco police chase that sent 6 people, including a mother and child, to the hospital, resulted in two car crashes, and destroyed a parklet on Super Bowl Sunday (1/6)
I respectfully disagree. Two decades ago the people amended the charter to make commissioners independent from the Mayor. Last Nov, the people rejected an attempt to take away that independence. I will continue to serve with integrity and independence until my last day on 1/2
The only thing unusual about this removal is that *most* conscientious commissioners would do the classy thing and offer to step aside under a newly elected mayor. That Mr. Carter-Oberstone *won’t* tells me all I need to know about why he should go. (1/4)

A prominent S.F. Asian Democratic club has dropped out of the local Democratic Party.
Members say the brand of the Democratic Party has become toxic to local Asian voters.

"'Old White Billionaire Leads People's Revolution' is not a headline in anyone's typeset drawer."
Except, now, it is.
Who is Michael Moritz? And what does he want for San Francisco?

“Despite an earlier commitment to determine exactly how much of the $5.3 million SFPD paid SF Safe in the last five years was stolen, misspent or wasted, the department now says it has no plans to carry out the controller’s recommendation to figure out where every cent went.”

OPINION: "It's becoming increasingly clear that for all his talk of law and order, Farrell and his campaign are quite comfortable with aggressively pushing legal limits of their own," writes @emily_hoeven. trib.al/hq4jxiu

An ethics complaint is alleging that Susan Reynolds, the former Marina Times editor, is a de facto operative of the Mark Farrell campaign.
The complaint cites a past $100K payment made to Reynolds by a pro-Farrell group.

The family of Terry Williams, the Black Alamo Square dog walker who was sent racist mail & whose house went up in flames in May, says they have been abandoned by the city.

Over a month ago I called for a second hearing on the SF SAFE scandal to address the many unanswered Qs about who knew what and when. Today’s indictment is the beginning, not the end, of the accountability needed to ensure this never happens again missionlocal.org/2024/07/kyr…
5 KEY takeaways from the Police Commission’s recent hearing on the SF SAFE scandal (in which SFPD doled out millions of public dollars to SF SAFE that were improperly spent on lavish parties, gift boxes, limo rides, and luxury junkets to Lake Tahoe) sfstandard.com/2024/01/24/sa…
I continue to believe that Prop E was a cynical political gambit that will endanger the lives of innocent people and reduce accountability. But the people have spoken; Prop E is the law. I will of course carry out my duty to implement it.
“@SFPDCommission will decide Wed. whether to push forward seven amended policies stemming from this spring’s passage of Proposition E.” Are you going to show up @MaxMCO or will you and your colleagues continue to behave like toddlers?
