2 ACTIONS for WEDNESDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trial of SFPD\u2019s Terrance Stengal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Case # 20013301)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday, February 16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

9:00am<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SF Hall of Justice<\/strong>
850 Bryant St. Department 27<\/strong>
SF<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Info from Mimi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trial will restart on Wednesday<\/strong>, Feb. 16,  with the defense putting on their first witnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday<\/strong>, February 17<\/strong>, a prosecution witness will testify and then it will go back to defense witnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No court on Friday and then Monday is <\/strong>a holiday so it will resume on Tuesday the 22nd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been surprised at how few spectators there are. Sometimes Gary Delagnes, former SFPOA president sticks his head in and there are usually 3 to 5 people who look like they’re cops, but not uniformed. Other than that there seem to be some lawyer-types in and out.  Today was the first time I saw someone who might be from the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTerrence Stengal, the officer who so brutally beat Dacari Spiers in 2019, and it\u2019s appalling how complicit two other officers were in the incident. One of them spoke to witnesses who said that nothing out of the ordinary was happening before the cops arrived. That cop did not take the names and contact info for those two witnesses. They also failed to interview other bystanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other cop spoke to a man who confirmed that there was no domestic violence happening which was the basis of the 911 call which brought the cops. And that witness saw Stengal beating Spiers immediately upon his arrival and without any provocation. This cop did get that witnesses name and number but failed to notify the sergeant in charge that she had this information (\u201cmy job was to deal with the domestic violence aspect, not to do anything about the beating.\u201d) and did not put it in her statement that was attached to the police report. Somehow, that witness was found and he testified at the trial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This meeting is CRUCIAL.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A decision might be made by the Commissioners regarding the Chief of Police Scott\u2019s intent to terminate the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the SF District Attorney\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the MOU is terminated, public safety is at risk, especially in Black and Brown communities, and there will be no accountability in officer-involved shootings, uses of force incidents and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exclusive: SFPD Chief Scott seeking full overhaul of deal that makes D.A. Boudin lead in cop use-of-force cases (sfchronicle.com)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Comment fr. John Crew (retired ACLU attorney)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

******”Scott said two other options remain in play. Either San Francisco would turn over cases to an outside law enforcement agency \u2014 the chief said his department has already reached out to some \u2014 or the District Attorney\u2019s Office and Police Department would conduct separate investigations. Essentially, each would take the lead.”********
<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With respect to the former, why should SFPD be allowed to cherry pick what outside agency — accountable to no one in SF — gets to investigate them?   With respect to the latter, SFPD will obstruct, undermine, interfere, stall and otherwise f’ with any investigation conducted by DA.  Might as well just call that the “cover it all up” option.
