He's following through with that, he was of course elected by the rich left wing loons who run SF, by not charging a man who attacked the police striking one officer with a vodka bottle.
The reason; Chesa is investigating the cops for shooting at the attacker so the cops couldn't be expected to testify against their assailant why they're being investigated.
This is a great example of what Democrats think. Cops are probably in the wrong for shooting at someone who is smashing them with a hard glass bottle. On the other hand the guy who started the fight is not guilty of anything.
Essentially sane people say "assault a cop go to jail" but Chesa says "it's good to assault cops and if the cops defend themselves I'll throw them in jail".
With crime already skyrocketing in SF, it's essential legal to steal so long as the value of the stolen items is less than $950, this is going to make things worse.
Cops are going to be hesitant to engage violent criminals to protect civilians. And body cams won't help since this incident is on tape and that doesn't seem to matter.
The SF police chief wrote the following in an e-mail:
“This unprovoked attack was a violent, criminal act,” [San Francisco police chief Bill] Scott said in the email obtained by the Examiner. “I want you to know that we remain committed to working with the DA to see that justice is done in this case for our officers
The head of the police officers association wrote:
“We urge you to protect police officers and the public from dangerous individuals such as Jamaica Hampton and hold him accountable for his assault,” [SF Police Officers Association chief Tony] Montoya said Friday in the letter obtained by the Examiner. “Failure to do so sends a message to every suspect that it is perfectly acceptable to physically assault an officer to get away with your crimes.”
The reality is that we don't pay cops enough to do their job when they have the support of the DA. There is no way we pay them enough to risk their lives knowing that the DA is more likely to go after them than after criminals.
Citizens are going to be afraid to defend themselves; after all if the DA is going to go after the cops when they're attacked what's the DA going to do to a civilian who fights back against a violent assault?
Chesa says it's all fine since the attacker is in the hospital and therefore not a short term threat. Of course if the attacker isn't charged as soon as he's recovered, probably at taxpayer expense, he'll be able to go out and attack more cops.
More importantly Chesa doesn't seem to comprehend that the issue isn't just will this violent criminal attack more cops but that he, Chesa, has told the entire criminal community in SF that attacking a cop isn't necessarily a bad thing.
When it becomes open season on cops society descends into anarchy.
