Today, my office filed homicide charges against the former officer who shot and killed Keita O’Neil, an unarmed, Black man in 2017. As far as we are aware, this is the first time in San Francisco history that an officer has been prosecuted for homicide.

Is “San Francisco making history” the goal? How aware can you be when murders and robberies are way up, yet you deflect with “overall crime is down” as if the fate of this city is inconsequential?

Pretty sure he's arguing that holding police accountable is the goal. That's a good thing, irrespective of anything else, right?

I can read what he wrote, thank you. Of course police should be held accountable, I don’t see anyone suggesting otherwise. The hype however, is that, “we’re first” as elected officials (who don’t hold themselves or each other to account) seems to be the celebratory event.

The SFPD won't be able to solve crimes if the people don't trust them. Demonstrating accountability makes us more likely to report crimes and cooperate with the police - that's how you move toward a safer city.

Chesa isn’t out to restore trust btw SFPD & the public. He has an agenda and a “movement” to oversee, and it’s worth noting this prosecution of the fired officer sat in a drawer for three years, untouched by the prior DA who decamped to LA. This isn’t about a safer city, IMO.

Not really. He has made it pretty evident. We’re all in for a fun ride.
