No one should be surprised by BJ’s hypocrisy. Next dismissal will be the case against Officer Kenneth Cha for the fatal shooting of Sean Moore. @BrookeJenkinsSF why don’t you just get it done and dismiss them all at once. We know who you are.

The men and women who swore to protect and serve, let a man die in front of them, for an alleged traffic traffic violation. An allegation that turned out to be a lie. If you can’t bring your self to watch the video, don’t. It’s painful, scary, and void of any humanity. 6/7

Seeing paramedics and other officers walk up to Tyre Nichols and do absolutely nothing while he laid there, dying, shows how entrenched “protecting your own” is in those who work alongside police. It’s what makes that video impossible to watch. 5/7

Sadly, what happened to Tyre Nichols happens everyday. And supervisors, district attorneys, judges, & elected officials cowardly protect their “boys in blue”. 4/7

Watching the videos usually tells a different story, as they did here for Tyre Nichols. Police yell conflicting commands while using excessive force, narrating that someone is resisting when videos shows officers pulling their arms in different directions. 3/7

—and writing it down or speaking it. I hope to one day let people see what i see and to hopefully admire my work based on the quality and ideals of my work. So on that note enjoy my page and let me know what you think.” - Tyre Nichols thiscaliforniakid2.wixsite.c… is his website.

Tyre Nichols was a photographer. This was his piece called Beale Street Magic. As someone that frequents Memphis, Beale street is known as a amazing place for all. This truly is magic, through his eyes. Through his lens. May his memory be a blessing and may he get justice.

Agreed. We endorsed @RebeccaDefender because she gave far more insightful answers to our questionnaire. Details and links here: sfgreenparty.org/endorsement…
Replying to @sfchronicle
@EskSF @sf_cadc @sfchronicle The Chron’s rationale for endorsing Mano Raju is as tepid as an endorsement can get. Grateful not to be damned with faint praise, I still take issue with the statement that Raju is more focused on policy than me. This is false.

Rally and press conference this Thursday at 10 am outside of DA @BrookeJenkinsSF's office. The families of Keita O’Neil and Luis Gongora Pat demand that DA Jenkins stop delaying cases and prosecute the SFPD officers who killed their loved ones.

New: DA Jenkins tells voters she increased punishments for dealing drugs near schools. But data shows there’s a disconnect between her messaging and the charges she’s actually filed. w/ @NoahBaustin sfstandard.com/criminal-just…
