"content": "\u003cp>A widening rift made public last week between the San Francisco Police Department and district attorney over who leads investigations into officers’ shootings and other serious uses of force did not appear to narrow despite prolonged debate at the city’s police commission meeting Wednesday night that stretched into Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting was the first opportunity for the oversight commission to address, in its agenda, the controversy since Police Chief William Scott announced canceling a groundbreaking three-year-old agreement he helped craft that puts the district attorney’s office in charge of controversial investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to find a way to come back to the table,” Commission President Malia Cohen said at the outset of the debate. “It’s been a week. I’m hopeful that cooler heads will prevail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott reiterated his reasoning, which he said over and over has nothing to do with influencing the ongoing jury trial in which SFPD Officer Terrance Stangel faces assault, battery and other felony charges for the 2019 beating of a Black man in response to 911 calls reporting domestic violence. Pretrial testimony in that case from a district attorney’s investigator, however, led to what the police chief described as a “collapse in trust” that reached a “breaking point” that has “catastrophically damaged the confidence” of city police officers in the district attorney’s investigations. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Police Chief William Scott\"]‘The men and women of this department and the nonbinary members of this department, when they’re telling me that this is a crisis, when they’re telling me that our faith in this system, this investigative process is shaken, I think that should be listened to.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott was referring only in part to the explosive Jan. 27 testimony from district attorney investigator Magen Hayashi that she felt pressured to omit information and leave police out of a follow-up interview of a 911 caller who reported domestic violence in the Stangel case. The chief pointed to a litany of other alleged violations of the memorandum of understanding, or MOU, that included delayed information in other cases and the failure of the district attorney to coordinate with police when charging an officer that led to a scramble to disarm and remove officers from public contact after they were facing felonies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The men and women of this department and the nonbinary members of this department, when they’re telling me that this is a crisis, when they’re telling me that our faith in this system, this investigative process is shaken, I think that should be listened to,” Scott said. “I think that is important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police chief also referenced a wrongful termination lawsuit brought in November by Hayashi’s former boss, former district attorney’s independent investigations bureau Lieutenant Jeffrey Pailet. The lawsuit alleges Pailet was fired after he pushed back against attorneys in the office for pressuring investigators to “include false, misleading and/or misrepresented information and/or exclude relevant information, in its search warrants and supporting warrant affidavits to be attested to by SFDA investigators in violation of law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That allegedly happened not only in the Terrance Stangel prosecution, but also in a pending case charging SFPD Officer Kenneth Cha with manslaughter for the 2017 shooting of Sean Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commissioners did not appear convinced by Scott’s expanded list of grievances, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You blindsided us,” Commissioner John Hamasaki said of Scott’s sudden press release announcing he would cancel the agreement with the DA’s office last week. “You’re again blindsiding us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nHamasaki and other commissioners said that the chief’s allegations appeared to target only technical violations, if any, of the agreement. Pointing to a judge’s ruling that no evidence was withheld in the Stangel case, multiple commissioners said repeatedly that they didn’t see how any investigation was substantively derailed by the district attorney’s alleged violations of the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District Attorney Chesa Boundin called in to public comment as the meeting stretched past 11 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The decision to withdraw is a massive violation of public trust and a huge step backwards in police reform and police accountability,” Boudin said, repeating his response from last week that the police department regularly violated parts of the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t pick up my ball, walk off the field and go home,” Boudin said. “I don’t go to the press. I call the chief to try to work it out. And we’ve had a really good open channel of communication until last week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott and Boudin met Wednesday, both officials said, to discuss the dispute, but they have not reached a resolution. State Attorney General Rob Bonta has put a toe into the fight, writing in a letter to both Wednesday that he would do “all I can to assist both parties in resolving any issues that have recently been identified as challenges to the progress achieved to date.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The carefully worded statement indicates two things: First, the attorney general is not yet consenting to take over these investigations directly, which Scott asked for when he announced plans to cancel the agreement with the district attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, the state attorney general’s office has an interest in maintaining independent investigations of San Francisco police shootings. As noted by several commissioners as well as residents who called into public comment, the agreement Scott says he’ll cancel is a crucial piece of ongoing reform of the SFPD that’s overseen by the state Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the politics and sour grapes, Commissioner Max Carter-Oberstone summarized the concern going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re going to take the extreme step of tearing up the MOU, how could we do that without having a plan in place?” Carter-Oberstone asked Scott. “What is going to happen if, God forbid, an officer shoots someone one month from now and this MOU has lapsed? This was not, in my view, the most responsible course if you thought that it was necessary to pull out of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Does anybody care what the workforce who has to do the work, how they see this?” Scott said in response. “Regardless of whether a plan is in place or not, what I’m hearing from you and this commission is to stay in a situation that your entire police department does not trust. And that has an impact on everything that we do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public battle and what it represents for police reform and San Francisco’s embattled district attorney, who faces a recall election in June, has stirred massive public concern, evidenced by the dozens of city residents who called in to the meeting to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What Chief Scott did was right, and he’s looking to the attorney general’s office for support and options as part of his plan,” said one caller who identified themself as a resident of San Francisco. “This is why this city is so messed up because you’re on the wrong side of the equation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the first time in history there are charges in San Francisco against police officers who have murdered Black men,” another caller who did not identify themself said. “This is Scott’s obvious last-ditch effort to keep cops from ever going to jail in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no indication that the standoff will end in the coming days, but there is a deadline. The police chief’s decision to cancel the agreement could become final as early as Feb. 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

I’m hopeful that cooler heads will prevail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott reiterated his reasoning, which he said over and over has nothing to do with influencing the ongoing jury trial in which SFPD Officer Terrance Stangel faces assault, battery and other felony charges for the 2019 beating of a Black man in response to 911 calls reporting domestic violence. Pretrial testimony in that case from a district attorney’s investigator, however, led to what the police chief described as a “collapse in trust” that reached a “breaking point” that has “catastrophically damaged the confidence” of city police officers in the district attorney’s investigations. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The chief pointed to a litany of other alleged violations of the memorandum of understanding, or MOU, that included delayed information in other cases and the failure of the district attorney to coordinate with police when charging an officer that led to a scramble to disarm and remove officers from public contact after they were facing felonies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The men and women of this department and the nonbinary members of this department, when they’re telling me that this is a crisis, when they’re telling me that our faith in this system, this investigative process is shaken, I think that should be listened to,” Scott said. “I think that is important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police chief also referenced a wrongful termination lawsuit brought in November by Hayashi’s former boss, former district attorney’s independent investigations bureau Lieutenant Jeffrey Pailet. The lawsuit alleges Pailet was fired after he pushed back against attorneys in the office for pressuring investigators to “include false, misleading and/or misrepresented information and/or exclude relevant information, in its search warrants and supporting warrant affidavits to be attested to by SFDA investigators in violation of law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That allegedly happened not only in the Terrance Stangel prosecution, but also in a pending case charging SFPD Officer Kenneth Cha with manslaughter for the 2017 shooting of Sean Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commissioners did not appear convinced by Scott’s expanded list of grievances, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You blindsided us,” Commissioner John Hamasaki said of Scott’s sudden press release announcing he would cancel the agreement with the DA’s office last week. “You’re again blindsiding us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Pointing to a judge’s ruling that no evidence was withheld in the Stangel case, multiple commissioners said repeatedly that they didn’t see how any investigation was substantively derailed by the district attorney’s alleged violations of the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District Attorney Chesa Boundin called in to public comment as the meeting stretched past 11 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The decision to withdraw is a massive violation of public trust and a huge step backwards in police reform and police accountability,” Boudin said, repeating his response from last week that the police department regularly violated parts of the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t pick up my ball, walk off the field and go home,” Boudin said. “I don’t go to the press. I call the chief to try to work it out. And we’ve had a really good open channel of communication until last week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott and Boudin met Wednesday, both officials said, to discuss the dispute, but they have not reached a resolution. State Attorney General Rob Bonta has put a toe into the fight, writing in a letter to both Wednesday that he would do “all I can to assist both parties in resolving any issues that have recently been identified as challenges to the progress achieved to date.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The carefully worded statement indicates two things: First, the attorney general is not yet consenting to take over these investigations directly, which Scott asked for when he announced plans to cancel the agreement with the district attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, the state attorney general’s office has an interest in maintaining independent investigations of San Francisco police shootings. As noted by several commissioners as well as residents who called into public comment, the agreement Scott says he’ll cancel is a crucial piece of ongoing reform of the SFPD that’s overseen by the state Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond the politics and sour grapes, Commissioner Max Carter-Oberstone summarized the concern going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re going to take the extreme step of tearing up the MOU, how could we do that without having a plan in place?” Carter-Oberstone asked Scott. “What is going to happen if, God forbid, an officer shoots someone one month from now and this MOU has lapsed? This was not, in my view, the most responsible course if you thought that it was necessary to pull out of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Does anybody care what the workforce who has to do the work, how they see this?” Scott said in response. “Regardless of whether a plan is in place or not, what I’m hearing from you and this commission is to stay in a situation that your entire police department does not trust. And that has an impact on everything that we do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public battle and what it represents for police reform and San Francisco’s embattled district attorney, who faces a recall election in June, has stirred massive public concern, evidenced by the dozens of city residents who called in to the meeting to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What Chief Scott did was right, and he’s looking to the attorney general’s office for support and options as part of his plan,” said one caller who identified themself as a resident of San Francisco. “This is why this city is so messed up because you’re on the wrong side of the equation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the first time in history there are charges in San Francisco against police officers who have murdered Black men,” another caller who did not identify themself said. “This is Scott’s obvious last-ditch effort to keep cops from ever going to jail in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no indication that the standoff will end in the coming days, but there is a deadline. The police chief’s decision to cancel the agreement could become final as early as Feb. 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We’ve seen this all before. It’s why we know it’s not going to work.

The filing rate was similar under Boudin’s predecessor, George Gascón, during his first four years in office, but it gradually increased, reaching 67% by 2019, when he stepped down. So far this year, however, Boudin’s filing rate is notably higher than it was last year — currently exceeding 67%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edwards also argues that the recall effort is a “Republican power grab,” a claim that recall advocates rejected in a statement shared with KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Boudin was elected to reform our criminal justice system to make our city safer and expand services to victims,” Edwards said. “That’s what he has been doing.

The filing rate was similar under Boudin’s predecessor, George Gascón, during his first four years in office, but it gradually increased, reaching 67% by 2019, when he stepped down.

That’s what he’ll continue to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin was elected district attorney in 2019 as part of a national wave of progressive prosecutors determined to reform the criminal justice system.

San Francisco police found two women, one in her 60s, the other in her 80s, suffering from stab wounds, the San Francisco Police Department said in a statement. One of the victims had a punctured lung and required extensive surgery, the DA said. Both were treated at a local hospital and are reportedly in stable condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happened is a devastating tragedy, and we will use the full force of our office’s resources to prosecute this case,\" DA spokesperson Rachel Marshall said in the statement, calling it a \"brutal attack.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident is among a growing number of recent anti-Asian attacks that have rattled the region and the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within hours of the stabbing, police arrested Thompson, who officers recognized \"from prior police contacts,\" the SFPD said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/news/san-francisco-police-make-arrest-tenderloin-stabbing-21-087\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers also obtained surveillance footage of the attack and said in an email to KQED that it showed \"without provocation or warning the suspect began stabbing the victims.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police booked Thompson on suspicion of attempted murder and elder abuse.

Nearly four years ago, he was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon and battery, according to court records reviewed by \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/article/Suspect-in-S-F-double-stabbing-faced-assault-16154864.php\">the San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>.

Thompson’s defense attorney last year sought his exit from the program, which a judge granted, the DA said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Family members of one of the victims, the woman in her mid-80s, whose status was changed on Wednesday from threatening to non-life threatening, have started a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/exvd5-help-my-grandma-with-medical-bills?utm_campaign=p_cp_url&utm_medium=os&utm_source=customer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GoFundMe\u003c/a> account to cover her medical expenses.
