Tonight I share the body-worn camera footage of an @SFPD officer intimidating an innocent woman, using scare tactics, and ultimately arresting me under false pretenses. This is not okay #PoliceReformhttps://youtu.be/H2NwmtOgOKg

UPDATE: Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Just to clarify, this officer is no longer employed by the SFPD, or so I am told and the criminal case was dismissed outright by the DA.

I am currently exploring options to proceed with a civil suit but previously that proved to be either cost prohibitive or unattainable since I didn’t yet have this footage. If anyone has leads for lawyers focusing on civil/social justice in the Bay Area, please let me know.

I also kindly request that you do not harass this or any officer associated with the case - I would much rather deal with this through the courts and work towards attaining a restraining order. I am in all honesty fearful that he may see this video and attempt retaliatory action.

As suggested by several commenters, I have established a GoFundMe to raise monies to access legal help; any funds raised in excess of my legal feels will be donated to the ACLU. https://www.gofundme.com/f/legal-fees-and-aclu-donation-for-unlawful-arrest?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1 … Once again, thank you for your support!
