Two more plainclothes officers who specialized in auto burglary, Arthur Madrid and Robert Forenis, met Razzak and Yick outside the Henry Hotel to assist in the raid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid was in the lead of the four officers when they arrived at Room 504, and the video shows him immediately inserting a key into the door. Then all four enter. They found a cache of heroin and needles strewn about the room, and arrested Carlos Hutcherson for possession of approximately 65 grams of heroin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to enter the room, officers would have needed a search warrant, or some set of circumstances that created an exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement. Razzak wrote in a police report about the incident that another occupant, Jessica Richmond, consented to a search after she answered a knock at the door. The surveillance video contradicted that account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MycK79zIhAlmGpcDqL3S2aUgzrFkwXda\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors gave Madrid immunity in exchange for his testimony in the case. Forenis was never charged. Raul Eric Elias was indicted with Razzak and Yick for his involvement in a separate raid called into question by surveillance video. Elias' prosecution has been deferred and could eventually be dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Razzak's defense attorney, Michael Rains, said his client's misdeeds were driven not by motivation for personal gain, but by pressure to satisfy a \"numbers-driven regime driving officers to produce, produce, produce [arrests].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez said that's not a consideration afforded to most people facing a prison sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are criminal defendants being charged with crimes every day that can talk about the pressures that they have,\" he said, \"and I just don’t see anybody proposing that they help make training videos so that regular citizens don’t fall prey to the pressures that are out in society. It’s not convincing to me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rains said the SFPD training division was on board with the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Any video for training purposes that would educate our Police Department on any topic is certainly beneficial,\" SFPD spokesman Officer Albie Esparza wrote in an email response. \"We never stop learning in life, and enriching our lives/officers/department is a win win for all, including the public by having a better educated police force.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department is \"working closely\" with the U.S. Attorney's office on the next steps for the video's production, Esparza wrote, and SFPD is awaiting further direction from prosecutors and the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rains said the training materials would likely focus on something that relates to the trial, \"what the video shows, what the report said, and the disparity between the two.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Court Judge Richard Seeborg said during Razzak's sentence status hearing Tuesday that he agreed with prosecutors and Rains that Razzak's case was very different from another federal corruption trial involving SFPD plainclothes officers convicted of stealing money and property from drug suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even though he granted the postponement, Seeborg said it shouldn't \"detract from the fact that a jury did convict in this case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mr. Razzak acknowledged, whatever pressures he was under, the conduct was wrong,\" Seeborg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant U.S. Attorney Hemann said federal sentencing guidelines dictate a prison sentence of 41 to 51 months. Rains said a federal probation officer recommended a 32-month sentence, but his actual sentence could be much shorter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It depends on what the government feels the extent of his cooperation is,\" he said, \"and ultimately it’s the judge’s determination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This report was updated to include a response from the San Francisco Police Department.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Two more plainclothes officers who specialized in auto burglary, Arthur Madrid and Robert Forenis, met Razzak and Yick outside the Henry Hotel to assist in the raid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid was in the lead of the four officers when they arrived at Room 504, and the video shows him immediately inserting a key into the door. Then all four enter. They found a cache of heroin and needles strewn about the room, and arrested Carlos Hutcherson for possession of approximately 65 grams of heroin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to enter the room, officers would have needed a search warrant, or some set of circumstances that created an exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement. Razzak wrote in a police report about the incident that another occupant, Jessica Richmond, consented to a search after she answered a knock at the door. The surveillance video contradicted that account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors gave Madrid immunity in exchange for his testimony in the case. Forenis was never charged. Raul Eric Elias was indicted with Razzak and Yick for his involvement in a separate raid called into question by surveillance video. Elias' prosecution has been deferred and could eventually be dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Razzak's defense attorney, Michael Rains, said his client's misdeeds were driven not by motivation for personal gain, but by pressure to satisfy a \"numbers-driven regime driving officers to produce, produce, produce [arrests].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez said that's not a consideration afforded to most people facing a prison sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are criminal defendants being charged with crimes every day that can talk about the pressures that they have,\" he said, \"and I just don’t see anybody proposing that they help make training videos so that regular citizens don’t fall prey to the pressures that are out in society. It’s not convincing to me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rains said the SFPD training division was on board with the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Any video for training purposes that would educate our Police Department on any topic is certainly beneficial,\" SFPD spokesman Officer Albie Esparza wrote in an email response. \"We never stop learning in life, and enriching our lives/officers/department is a win win for all, including the public by having a better educated police force.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department is \"working closely\" with the U.S. Attorney's office on the next steps for the video's production, Esparza wrote, and SFPD is awaiting further direction from prosecutors and the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rains said the training materials would likely focus on something that relates to the trial, \"what the video shows, what the report said, and the disparity between the two.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Court Judge Richard Seeborg said during Razzak's sentence status hearing Tuesday that he agreed with prosecutors and Rains that Razzak's case was very different from another federal corruption trial involving SFPD plainclothes officers convicted of stealing money and property from drug suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even though he granted the postponement, Seeborg said it shouldn't \"detract from the fact that a jury did convict in this case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mr. Razzak acknowledged, whatever pressures he was under, the conduct was wrong,\" Seeborg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant U.S. Attorney Hemann said federal sentencing guidelines dictate a prison sentence of 41 to 51 months. Rains said a federal probation officer recommended a 32-month sentence, but his actual sentence could be much shorter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It depends on what the government feels the extent of his cooperation is,\" he said, \"and ultimately it’s the judge’s determination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This report was updated to include a response from the San Francisco Police Department.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She confirmed via email that her client is under investigation for texts he traded with Furminger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officer Daugherty is appropriately ashamed by his impulsive and insensitive banter,\" Wilkinson wrote, \"and accepts full responsibility for the content of those text messages that he sent, which are by no means a reflection of his true character or his style of policing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A department spokeswoman said Suhr would recommend all four officers be fired if the investigation proved racial bias. The final decision lies with the city's Police Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Officers-linked-to-racist-texts-were-all-veterans-6134489.php\" target=\"_blank\">identified the fourth officer\u003c/a> under investigation as Noel Schwab.

One of the texts released Friday references Furminger's concern about black children attending his son's school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Furminger actively promotes the fantasy that he is a person of character,\" federal prosecutors wrote in their response to the motion. \"Although these sort of overtly racist views sadly still are expressed in some communities, it is shocking and appalling to find a police officer in San Francisco who would give voice to them. Furminger’s willingness to do so -- which exemplifies his erratic and anti-social behavior -- should be taken into account.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post, Friday, March 13\u003c/strong>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Police Department says it's investigating four current members of the force who reportedly joined in an exchange of racist and homophobic text messages with an SFPD sergeant recently convicted on theft and corruption charges, KQED has learned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The texts (\u003ca href=\"#document\">read below\u003c/a>), which were disclosed in a court filing by federal prosecutors on Friday, all involve former Sgt.

He was formerly a supervisor in the Police Department's Mission District plainclothes unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Police Department says the texts, sent between late 2011 and the middle of 2012, implicate four other officers who are now the subjects of a department inquiry.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright pullquote\">Texts show Furminger and other officers swapping slurs about black people and gay people, including other police officers.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"It’s an internal affairs investigation looking into officers who have shown extreme bias, which has no place in the San Francisco Police Department,\" Sgt. Monica Macdonald said. \"The officers were reassigned some time ago while the investigation is under way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors included more than two dozen text conversations in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/doc/258662847/Government-Opposition-to-Furminger-Motion-for-Bail-Pending-Appeal\" target=\"_blank\">federal court filing\u003c/a> opposing Furminger's request to remain out on bail while he awaits his appeal. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/02/23/ex-sfpd-sergeant-sentenced-in-federal-corruption-case/\" target=\"_blank\">He was sentenced\u003c/a> to three years, five months in prison last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The texts show Furminger and other San Francisco police officers repeatedly swapping slurs about black people and gay people, including other police officers. In one exchange on Nov. 9, 2011, Furminger writes about his son's school:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We got two blacks at my boys school and they are brother and sister! There cause dad works for the school district and I am watching them like hawks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The response, from an unnamed civilian: \"Do you celebrate qaunza [sic] at your school?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger: \"Yeah we burn the cross on the field! Then celebrate Whitemas ... Its worth every penny to live here [Walnut Creek] away from the savages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An unnamed officer texted the phrase \"White power\" to Furminger, who later repeats the phrase in a text to an SFPD officer. He also texted \"White power family\" to a civilian, followed by a redacted reference to his home address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An anonymous SFPD officer had a suggestion for Furminger after the convicted ex-sergeant texted that a friend of his wife's was visiting with her husband, who is black:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Get ur pocket gun. Keep it available in case the monkey returns to his roots,\" the response says. \"Its not against the law to put an animal down.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger responded: \"Well said.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger also repeatedly calls another officer a \"fag,\" and makes racist comments about Mexican and Filipino people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the texts were all recovered from Furminger's personal cellphone, it's not immediately clear whether the officers he was communicating with were using department-issued phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt.

Ian Furminger to remain free on on bail while he appeals a conviction for fraud and conspiracy.

One of the texts released Friday references Furminger's concern about black children attending his son's school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Furminger actively promotes the fantasy that he is a person of character,\" federal prosecutors wrote in their response to the motion. \"Although these sort of overtly racist views sadly still are expressed in some communities, it is shocking and appalling to find a police officer in San Francisco who would give voice to them.

Monica Macdonald said. \"The officers were reassigned some time ago while the investigation is under way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors included more than two dozen text conversations in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/doc/258662847/Government-Opposition-to-Furminger-Motion-for-Bail-Pending-Appeal\" target=\"_blank\">federal court filing\u003c/a> opposing Furminger's request to remain out on bail while he awaits his appeal. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/02/23/ex-sfpd-sergeant-sentenced-in-federal-corruption-case/\" target=\"_blank\">He was sentenced\u003c/a> to three years, five months in prison last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The texts show Furminger and other San Francisco police officers repeatedly swapping slurs about black people and gay people, including other police officers. In one exchange on Nov. 9, 2011, Furminger writes about his son's school:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We got two blacks at my boys school and they are brother and sister! There cause dad works for the school district and I am watching them like hawks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The response, from an unnamed civilian: \"Do you celebrate qaunza [sic] at your school?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger: \"Yeah we burn the cross on the field! Then celebrate Whitemas ... Its worth every penny to live here [Walnut Creek] away from the savages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An unnamed officer texted the phrase \"White power\" to Furminger, who later repeats the phrase in a text to an SFPD officer. He also texted \"White power family\" to a civilian, followed by a redacted reference to his home address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An anonymous SFPD officer had a suggestion for Furminger after the convicted ex-sergeant texted that a friend of his wife's was visiting with her husband, who is black:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Get ur pocket gun. Keep it available in case the monkey returns to his roots,\" the response says. \"Its not against the law to put an animal down.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger responded: \"Well said.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger also repeatedly calls another officer a \"fag,\" and makes racist comments about Mexican and Filipino people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the texts were all recovered from Furminger's personal cellphone, it's not immediately clear whether the officers he was communicating with were using department-issued phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt.

"content": "\u003cp>The number of criminal convictions and pending cases affected by the growing group of San Francisco police officers involved in a text messaging scandal could increase \"exponentially\" as the credibility of more officers is called into question, a spokeswoman for the city's public defender said Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/M-R-SFPD-looking-at-10-more-officers-in-6139314.php\" target=\"_blank\">broke the news\u003c/a> that an additional 10 SFPD officers are the subject of an internal affairs investigation for allegedly exchanging inappropriate texts with former Sgt. Ian Furminger. That's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/03/13/racist-texts-prompt-sfpd-internal-investigation\" target=\"_blank\">in addition to four officers\u003c/a> previously known to be under investigation for trading racist and homophobic messages with Furminger, who was convicted on federal fraud and conspiracy charges last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their attorneys confirmed the original four officers under investigation are Michael Robison, Michael Celis, Rain Daugherty and Noel Schwab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They've been reassigned to positions that keep them out of public contact, according to the department. That's not the case with the newly discovered group of 10 officers, San Francisco Police Officers Association President Martin Halloran said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were 10 officers that came to the POA seeking representation\" about two weeks ago, Halloran said. \"I do not believe that these officers are under investigation at the same scope or the same level as the initial four officers, because these 10 additional officers have not been reassigned.\" He said they're still serving out in the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Halloran said he does not know why the new group of officers is under investigation, but a source close to the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed the probe stems from text messages recovered from Furminger's personal cellphone. The source cautioned against \"painting those additional officers with the same brush as the other four,\" adding that messages involving the latest group of officers may have been inappropriate, but not racist or homophobic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr did not respond when asked by KQED to comment on the increasing number of officers under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public Defender Jeff Adachi said his office, along with the district attorney, is beginning to review a decade of prosecutions involving the original four officers -- estimated to be about 1,000 cases. He said they are looking at the facts of each individual case for instances when an African-American defendant disputed one of the officers' accounts of a search, investigation or arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officer credibility is key in any case,\" Adachi said. \"Where you have these officers who were principal players in these cases, and they have a record of being involved in this kind of horrible behavior, no prosecutor is going to want to put them on the stand. Those cases are likely going to be dismissed, and that’s what I’d expect from our district attorney.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public Defender's Office spokeswoman Tamara Aparton said that number will likely grow when more comes out about the content of the texts involving the group of 10 officers. She said 792 cases were dismissed after Adachi's office uncovered surveillance video from SRO hotels that appeared to show plainclothes officers conducting illegal searches. The videos led to a federal criminal investigation and the eventual indictment of Furminger and five other SFPD officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford law professor Robert Weisberg said defendants seeking to overturn a past conviction typically face a very high legal hurdle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not like the dramatic DNA exoneration evidence that you see in many of the publicized cases,\" Weisberg said. \"The newly discovered evidence is at best, not to minimize it, impeachment of the word of a police officer, where it may or may not have made a material difference in the case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he said, that doesn't necessarily mean scores of past and pending prosecutions won't be dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some cases may get reopened, maybe lots of cases will get reopened,\" Weisberg said, \"not because of formal legal appeals or post-conviction proceedings, but because the police department, District Attorney George Gascón, the city generally just decides, 'We think it’s the right thing to do, and we the officials will go to the court and request a reopening and maybe even a dismissal in some cases.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi is pressing the SFPD for policy changes following the scandal. The Racial Justice Committee of the Public Defender's Office unveiled a \u003ca href=\"http://sfpublicdefender.org/news/2015/03/racial-justice-committee-plan-for-police-reform/\" target=\"_blank\">10-point plan\u003c/a> for police reform Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We welcome the opportunity that this crisis presents,\" committee co-chair Rebecca Young said. \"It becomes a cancer that infects an entire neighborhood, where the people in the community do not like and profoundly mistrust the police, and that creates an officer safety issue as well as a health and safety issue for the people living in these communities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee highlighted three recommendations most directly linked to curbing the kind of racism exhibited in the texts. Young and her colleagues recommend a minimum 24 hours of training on implicit bias and its effects, including perspectives of people of color who have been unlawfully detained. They're pushing for yearly reviews of all field training officers -- experienced officers who train rookies -- with a focus on any history of racial bias, excessive force or illegal search and seizures \"to determine if they are fit to train other officers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee is also calling for the department to assign officers to patrol neighborhoods in which they live, and to attract more officers who are people of color to work and live in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the union's part, Halloran said the text messages do not reflect the views of the vast majority of SFPD officers. The POA released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXHHdWcgF6k\" target=\"_blank\">video\u003c/a> yesterday extolling San Francisco's diverse police force in response to the scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The San Francisco Police Department is one of the most diverse in the United States of America,\" he said. \"The POA is appalled with those messages.

Ian Furminger. That's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/03/13/racist-texts-prompt-sfpd-internal-investigation\" target=\"_blank\">in addition to four officers\u003c/a> previously known to be under investigation for trading racist and homophobic messages with Furminger, who was convicted on federal fraud and conspiracy charges last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their attorneys confirmed the original four officers under investigation are Michael Robison, Michael Celis, Rain Daugherty and Noel Schwab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They've been reassigned to positions that keep them out of public contact, according to the department. That's not the case with the newly discovered group of 10 officers, San Francisco Police Officers Association President Martin Halloran said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were 10 officers that came to the POA seeking representation\" about two weeks ago, Halloran said. \"I do not believe that these officers are under investigation at the same scope or the same level as the initial four officers, because these 10 additional officers have not been reassigned.\" He said they're still serving out in the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Halloran said he does not know why the new group of officers is under investigation, but a source close to the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed the probe stems from text messages recovered from Furminger's personal cellphone. The source cautioned against \"painting those additional officers with the same brush as the other four,\" adding that messages involving the latest group of officers may have been inappropriate, but not racist or homophobic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr did not respond when asked by KQED to comment on the increasing number of officers under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public Defender Jeff Adachi said his office, along with the district attorney, is beginning to review a decade of prosecutions involving the original four officers -- estimated to be about 1,000 cases. He said they are looking at the facts of each individual case for instances when an African-American defendant disputed one of the officers' accounts of a search, investigation or arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Officer credibility is key in any case,\" Adachi said. \"Where you have these officers who were principal players in these cases, and they have a record of being involved in this kind of horrible behavior, no prosecutor is going to want to put them on the stand. Those cases are likely going to be dismissed, and that’s what I’d expect from our district attorney.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public Defender's Office spokeswoman Tamara Aparton said that number will likely grow when more comes out about the content of the texts involving the group of 10 officers. She said 792 cases were dismissed after Adachi's office uncovered surveillance video from SRO hotels that appeared to show plainclothes officers conducting illegal searches. The videos led to a federal criminal investigation and the eventual indictment of Furminger and five other SFPD officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford law professor Robert Weisberg said defendants seeking to overturn a past conviction typically face a very high legal hurdle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not like the dramatic DNA exoneration evidence that you see in many of the publicized cases,\" Weisberg said. \"The newly discovered evidence is at best, not to minimize it, impeachment of the word of a police officer, where it may or may not have made a material difference in the case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he said, that doesn't necessarily mean scores of past and pending prosecutions won't be dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some cases may get reopened, maybe lots of cases will get reopened,\" Weisberg said, \"not because of formal legal appeals or post-conviction proceedings, but because the police department, District Attorney George Gascón, the city generally just decides, 'We think it’s the right thing to do, and we the officials will go to the court and request a reopening and maybe even a dismissal in some cases.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi is pressing the SFPD for policy changes following the scandal. The Racial Justice Committee of the Public Defender's Office unveiled a \u003ca href=\"http://sfpublicdefender.org/news/2015/03/racial-justice-committee-plan-for-police-reform/\" target=\"_blank\">10-point plan\u003c/a> for police reform Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We welcome the opportunity that this crisis presents,\" committee co-chair Rebecca Young said. \"It becomes a cancer that infects an entire neighborhood, where the people in the community do not like and profoundly mistrust the police, and that creates an officer safety issue as well as a health and safety issue for the people living in these communities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee highlighted three recommendations most directly linked to curbing the kind of racism exhibited in the texts. Young and her colleagues recommend a minimum 24 hours of training on implicit bias and its effects, including perspectives of people of color who have been unlawfully detained. They're pushing for yearly reviews of all field training officers -- experienced officers who train rookies -- with a focus on any history of racial bias, excessive force or illegal search and seizures \"to determine if they are fit to train other officers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee is also calling for the department to assign officers to patrol neighborhoods in which they live, and to attract more officers who are people of color to work and live in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the union's part, Halloran said the text messages do not reflect the views of the vast majority of SFPD officers. The POA released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXHHdWcgF6k\" target=\"_blank\">video\u003c/a> yesterday extolling San Francisco's diverse police force in response to the scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The San Francisco Police Department is one of the most diverse in the United States of America,\" he said. \"The POA is appalled with those messages. I'm shocked and I'm sickened by them. It does not reflect on the hard-working men and women that are out on the streets 24/7 serving our public. This is a very, very small fraction of members that are caught up in this text messaging debacle.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Razzak allegedly got a tip from a confidential informant that a male and a female were in Room 504 at the Henry Hotel, a single-room-occupancy hotel on Sixth Street, with a large quantity of heroin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Razzak and Yick met two other Southern District plainclothes officers, Arthur Madrid and Robert Forenis, outside the hotel. Madrid and Forenis specialized in auto burglaries, but the plainclothes unit was short that day so they showed up to assist in the raid. The four launched a loose plan to secure the room and then get a search warrant, according to Yick’s testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a search warrant was never part of the plan, federal prosecutors said, and instead officers were engaged in a conspiracy to violate civil rights of drug suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his closing arguments, federal prosecutor Rodney Villazor described how a “run-of-the-mill” narcotics possession case became part of an ongoing black eye for the SFPD, when in March 2011 the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office \u003ca href=\"http://sfpublicdefender.org/news/2011/03/video-reveals-police-misconduct-perjury/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A%20SFPublicDefender%20%28San%20Francisco%20Public%20Defender%29\" target=\"_blank\">released\u003c/a> Henry Hotel security camera footage of the raid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFwr9lJP35U\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the second federal criminal trial against SFPD plainclothes officers in recent months as investigations into the videos make their way through the criminal justice system. Two other officers were \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Two-San-Francisco-police-officers-convicted-in-5937963.php\" target=\"_blank\">convicted\u003c/a> of taking money from drug suspects and pocketing it, among other charges, in December. They have not yet been sentenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What was on the video was irreconcilable with what was in the police report,” Villazor told the jury. “Why? Because Arshad Razzak was falsifying, falsifying it to cover up their actions … to go into Jessica Richmond’s room without a warrant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorneys argued officers had the right to enter the room without a warrant because there were exigent circumstances, an exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement. Police had reason to believe the heroin would be moved, and soon. But the raid became confused, with some officers testifying they believed they would “freeze” the room from outside and get a warrant, while at least one of the officers thought the plan was to enter the apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Freeze the Room’ or ‘Key the Door?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The security camera video shows four officers, Yick in front, charging onto the fifth floor of the Henry Hotel. Yick covers one of the cameras with his hand while the other three officers pass him. He testified that this was common practice, to keep the hotel’s desk clerk from alerting residents that police were coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there were other cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Madrid now in the lead, the officers turned a corner and approached Room 504. Somehow, Madrid had a master key, but none of the officers who testified could remember how he got it, including Madrid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yick testified that he understood the idea to “freeze the room” to mean to lock it down from the outside, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as he rounded the corner, he saw Madrid walk directly to the door with Forenis and Razzak behind him. He appeared to immediately insert the key and open the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t the plan,” Yick testified. “That’s not freezing the room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors granted Madrid immunity from prosecution in the case in exchange for his testimony. He said Razzak told him to “key the door.” Yick and Forenis said they never heard that order. Razzak did not testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video shows Madrid pushing into the room with Forenis on his left, Razzak and Yick on his right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as he noticed Madrid opening the door, Yick testified, he switched his role from “freezing the room” to backup for the entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once someone’s going in, your first role is to back that officer up,” Yick said. “This is where you can get killed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to federal prosecutors, the moment officers entered the room without a search warrant, a conspiracy to violate the civil rights of the resident had launched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real plan was just to enter the room,” Villazor told the jury. “They were not going to freeze it. … This is the moment. This is the part they want to cover up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Razzak’s defense attorney, Michael Rains, told the jury that officers were doing their job lawfully, as they understood it. He showed Razzak’s training records and argued the senior officer had very little training on the key issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the last week,” Rains told the jury, “you have heard more about securing a room pending the issuance of a search warrant and exigent circumstances than these defendants have heard in 16 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “He got no training. They’re throwing this guy into hotel rooms … and he’s doing the best he can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Paper it After’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers pulled Carlos Hutcherson and the registered occupant, Jessica Richmond, from the room. Yick said uncapped needles were strewn about the floor and covering the bed. Hutcherson was arrested for possession of some 65 grams of heroin, but a San Francisco Superior Court judge dismissed the case in light of the security camera footage. Scores of other cases \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/03/09/update-on-san-francisco-police-department-video-scandal\" target=\"_blank\">were also dropped\u003c/a> in the wake of the SFPD video scandal, which includes other incidents in which footage appears to contradict official police reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Henry Hotel case, Razzak wrote that officers knocked and announced their presence and were met by Richmond at the door, who gave them consent to search the apartment. Richmond did sign a consent-to-search form, brought to the hotel later by two uniformed SFPD officers, but she testified she was coerced into signing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real plan was to enter the room and then paper it after,” Villazor said, meaning officers intended to create an official paper trail of falsified records to justify the search. “Possibly the most flawed part to this freezing-the-room fantasy: They had a hotel key.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorneys argued the charges are a stretch. The officers may have made mistakes, but they intended to do their job lawfully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people conspire, they do not conspire in one limited incident in a case of limited significance against people they do not know,” said Yick's attorney, Peter Furst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Intent is a key element in every charge against both Razzak and Yick. To be found guilty of conspiracy, they must not only have agreed to enter the room without a warrant, but also to have done so with the intent of violating Richmond’s Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure, according to the court’s instructions to jurors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both officers are also charged with deprivation of rights under the color of law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most serious charges involve only Razzak and his alleged intentional falsification of a police report and informant pay slip about the incident. Yick was originally charged with similar counts, but both have been dropped over the course of the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury is scheduled to resume deliberating today.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Two other officers were \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Two-San-Francisco-police-officers-convicted-in-5937963.php\" target=\"_blank\">convicted\u003c/a> of taking money from drug suspects and pocketing it, among other charges, in December. They have not yet been sentenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What was on the video was irreconcilable with what was in the police report,” Villazor told the jury. “Why? Because Arshad Razzak was falsifying, falsifying it to cover up their actions … to go into Jessica Richmond’s room without a warrant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorneys argued officers had the right to enter the room without a warrant because there were exigent circumstances, an exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement. Police had reason to believe the heroin would be moved, and soon. But the raid became confused, with some officers testifying they believed they would “freeze” the room from outside and get a warrant, while at least one of the officers thought the plan was to enter the apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Freeze the Room’ or ‘Key the Door?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The security camera video shows four officers, Yick in front, charging onto the fifth floor of the Henry Hotel. Yick covers one of the cameras with his hand while the other three officers pass him. He testified that this was common practice, to keep the hotel’s desk clerk from alerting residents that police were coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there were other cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Madrid now in the lead, the officers turned a corner and approached Room 504. Somehow, Madrid had a master key, but none of the officers who testified could remember how he got it, including Madrid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yick testified that he understood the idea to “freeze the room” to mean to lock it down from the outside, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as he rounded the corner, he saw Madrid walk directly to the door with Forenis and Razzak behind him. He appeared to immediately insert the key and open the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t the plan,” Yick testified. “That’s not freezing the room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors granted Madrid immunity from prosecution in the case in exchange for his testimony. He said Razzak told him to “key the door.” Yick and Forenis said they never heard that order. Razzak did not testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video shows Madrid pushing into the room with Forenis on his left, Razzak and Yick on his right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as he noticed Madrid opening the door, Yick testified, he switched his role from “freezing the room” to backup for the entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once someone’s going in, your first role is to back that officer up,” Yick said. “This is where you can get killed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to federal prosecutors, the moment officers entered the room without a search warrant, a conspiracy to violate the civil rights of the resident had launched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real plan was just to enter the room,” Villazor told the jury. “They were not going to freeze it. … This is the moment. This is the part they want to cover up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Razzak’s defense attorney, Michael Rains, told the jury that officers were doing their job lawfully, as they understood it. He showed Razzak’s training records and argued the senior officer had very little training on the key issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the last week,” Rains told the jury, “you have heard more about securing a room pending the issuance of a search warrant and exigent circumstances than these defendants have heard in 16 years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “He got no training. They’re throwing this guy into hotel rooms … and he’s doing the best he can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Paper it After’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers pulled Carlos Hutcherson and the registered occupant, Jessica Richmond, from the room. Yick said uncapped needles were strewn about the floor and covering the bed. Hutcherson was arrested for possession of some 65 grams of heroin, but a San Francisco Superior Court judge dismissed the case in light of the security camera footage. Scores of other cases \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/03/09/update-on-san-francisco-police-department-video-scandal\" target=\"_blank\">were also dropped\u003c/a> in the wake of the SFPD video scandal, which includes other incidents in which footage appears to contradict official police reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Henry Hotel case, Razzak wrote that officers knocked and announced their presence and were met by Richmond at the door, who gave them consent to search the apartment. Richmond did sign a consent-to-search form, brought to the hotel later by two uniformed SFPD officers, but she testified she was coerced into signing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real plan was to enter the room and then paper it after,” Villazor said, meaning officers intended to create an official paper trail of falsified records to justify the search. “Possibly the most flawed part to this freezing-the-room fantasy: They had a hotel key.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorneys argued the charges are a stretch. The officers may have made mistakes, but they intended to do their job lawfully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people conspire, they do not conspire in one limited incident in a case of limited significance against people they do not know,” said Yick's attorney, Peter Furst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Intent is a key element in every charge against both Razzak and Yick. To be found guilty of conspiracy, they must not only have agreed to enter the room without a warrant, but also to have done so with the intent of violating Richmond’s Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure, according to the court’s instructions to jurors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both officers are also charged with deprivation of rights under the color of law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most serious charges involve only Razzak and his alleged intentional falsification of a police report and informant pay slip about the incident. Yick was originally charged with similar counts, but both have been dropped over the course of the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This discipline will be swift and severe up to and including termination depending on the findings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hardworking men and women of the San Francisco Police Department will not tolerate dishonesty within their ranks. There is no place in this Department for dishonest Cops.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And here's the video: \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe width=\"450\" height=\"286\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/B0pnz670Nj0\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nThe department has been roiled by a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/sfpd-video-scandal/\">series\u003c/a> of security videos that Adachi and some suspects' defense attorneys have pointed to as evidence of illegal police conduct during drug arrests. Dozens of cases have been either dropped by the District Attorney or thrown out of court due to discrepancies between what was shown on tape and what officers reported in official accounts. The conduct at issue concerns proper use of warrants and other procedures that police are legally required to follow. \n\u003cp>The original spate of cases resulted in the reassignment of a squad of eight detectives to administrative duties, and an ongoing FBI investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi's high-profile dissemination of these videos to the media and on the web rankled Suhr's predecessor, Interim Police Chief Jeff Godown. The animus between the Public Defender's office and the department reached a climax in a March press conference by Godown, in which he slammed Adachi for \"painting the San Francisco police department with a wide brush in reference to constant rampant misconduct among the plainclothes units in this city, and that is untrue.\" You can \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/04/01/listen-to-jeff-godowns-press-conference-defending-sfpd-slamming-adachi-on-video-issue/\">listen to that press conference\u003c/a> here. Adachi responded, as he has in this latest case, that the SFPD has \"systematic\" problems with llegal searches and falsified police reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chief Suhr may have decided to fight fire with fire. According to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/2011/05/san-francisco-police-officers-may-carry-cameras-during-arrests\">Examiner\u003c/a> today, the department is looking into equipping cops with their own video equipment to record arrests. From the report: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The department will be looking at several different models of personal cameras that an officer would be equipped with before going into a drug bust or other arrest that requires consent or a search warrant. Suhr confirmed the plan Tuesday just hours after Public Defender Jeff Adachi showed reporters a video he says is proof that officers stole a laptop and digital camera from a suspected drug dealer...The chief’s plan already has the support of the Police Officers Association, Suhr said, but it would first need to be approved by the Police Commission.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Adachi says the video shows police entering the Julian Hotel carrying no bags. The officers were then shown leaving carrying a laptop case and another bag, neither of which officers listed as evidence, Adachi says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police also wrote that the suspect, Jesus Reyes, gave them permission to enter his hotel room and search for drugs, something he denies. The case was dropped after one of the officers failed to show up in court. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sf-police.org/index.aspx?page=3761\">statement\u003c/a> from San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>All the officers in this case had been taken out of Plainclothes some have been reassigned to Administrative duties while the investigation is being conducted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to emphasize that these officers have the same rights as any other citizen. They are assumed innocent until proven guilty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it is determined through the investigation that the officers acted inappropriately they will be discipline. This discipline will be swift and severe up to and including termination depending on the findings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hardworking men and women of the San Francisco Police Department will not tolerate dishonesty within their ranks. There is no place in this Department for dishonest Cops.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And here's the video: \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe width=\"450\" height=\"286\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/B0pnz670Nj0\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nThe department has been roiled by a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/sfpd-video-scandal/\">series\u003c/a> of security videos that Adachi and some suspects' defense attorneys have pointed to as evidence of illegal police conduct during drug arrests. Dozens of cases have been either dropped by the District Attorney or thrown out of court due to discrepancies between what was shown on tape and what officers reported in official accounts. The conduct at issue concerns proper use of warrants and other procedures that police are legally required to follow. \n\u003cp>The original spate of cases resulted in the reassignment of a squad of eight detectives to administrative duties, and an ongoing FBI investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The animus between the Public Defender's office and the department reached a climax in a March press conference by Godown, in which he slammed Adachi for \"painting the San Francisco police department with a wide brush in reference to constant rampant misconduct among the plainclothes units in this city, and that is untrue.\" You can \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/04/01/listen-to-jeff-godowns-press-conference-defending-sfpd-slamming-adachi-on-video-issue/\">listen to that press conference\u003c/a> here.

According to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/2011/05/san-francisco-police-officers-may-carry-cameras-during-arrests\">Examiner\u003c/a> today, the department is looking into equipping cops with their own video equipment to record arrests. From the report: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The department will be looking at several different models of personal cameras that an officer would be equipped with before going into a drug bust or other arrest that requires consent or a search warrant. Suhr confirmed the plan Tuesday just hours after Public Defender Jeff Adachi showed reporters a video he says is proof that officers stole a laptop and digital camera from a suspected drug dealer...The chief’s plan already has the support of the Police Officers Association, Suhr said, but it would first need to be approved by the Police Commission.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In the latest case in which video appeared to undermine police testimony, Superior Court Judge Gerardo Sandoval issued his dismissal order after a three-day preliminary hearing on drug dealing charges lodged against McLaren Wenzell, 23, stemming from the March 1 police search and seizure of 4 pounds of marijuana. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/03/30/MN031IMQU0.DTL&tsp=1\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The dismissal represents the first dropped case unrelated to the officers implicated in the original spate of arrests, says Tamara Aparton of the Public Defender's Office. Those 76 cases, related to illegal police procedures while making arrests, have been either dropped or thrown out of court. Those cases involve eight Southern Station plainclothes officers, whose \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/03/04/new-video-surfaces-pointing-to-possible-police-misconduct/\">improper conduct\u003c/a> came to light through Public Defender Jeff Adachi's release of hotel security-camera \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/user/sfpublicdefender\">\u003cstrong>videos\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> showing discrepancies between the officers' accounts and what actually took place. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aparton said the Public Defender's office would \"most likely\" sift through more cases related to the officers involved in the latest dismissal, to look for discrepancies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I'd like to know about it.

The officers then filled out incident reports and gave court testimony, he said, which portrayed the arrests as legally conducted.
