I think we must have been jealous of LA's crooked cops and wanted to get our own scandal. But we really do it up right. Not just some renegade street cops (we have those too, they started this whole thing), but the police chief, no less, indicted on conspiracy and obstruction of justice. And now it turns out today that the mayor discovered that the chief had gone behind his back to his a lawyer to try and yank the investigation away from the SF DA's office even before he was indicted. And, the lawyer that our obviously retarded police chief had hired was the same lawyer who he was dealing with as assistant chief and got ethics charges files against him for improper funneling of business to his wife and other nonsense. The mayor had told the chief, whom he has publicly supported greatly, never to associate with that attorney again since it looks bad, and then he goes and hires him on the sly, not telling the mayor or city council and tells the lawyer he's hiring him on behalf of the city. And the lawyer it turns out was the mayor's partner at their former law firm with whom he had a falling out. And the whole case they were covering up was that of a street brawl over a doggie bag of steak fajitas that three drunken men tried to steal from two restaurant workers. Turns out the drunken men were off duty cops. Not just off duty cops, but the son of the assistant chief of police. And it turns out he's psycho too and has been investigated for beating up citizens 13 times already and never gotten in trouble. So then the entire upper command structure of the department was indicted for covering up the fajita fight, and the chief refused to step down as is customary during an indictment. That is until the mayor heard about him hiring the lawyer and told him step down or be fired. All of the sudden yesterday the chief said he thinks he might be having a stroke and is going to take medical leave.

Jeez. Now if only that hooker would have won election to the city council. It was so close too...

Ahhh! San Francisco "The City that Knows How!" I do miss living there tremendously though, there really is no place like it.

So are they calling this Fajita-gate??

And why does this stuff always seem to happen on Polk St.? It's far tamer than it used to be, from most reports, and yet there's constantly some new violent incident happening there, and often, it seems, involving police officers. Just the other week, a very drunk drag queen was dropped off by a police officer on Polk St. only to be found dead within the hour. Weird shit.

At this point in time though in SF, many people would love to see Willie and his notorious network of back slapping, envelope exchanges, and special deals be exposed - notwithstanding that that is how things seem to get done in this city. That a domino effect is happening over this strange little incident over fajitas on Polk Street is surreal. Fagan Jr., the young officer already investigated numerous times for an apparent love of violent intimidation, is clearly bad news and doesn't belong on the streets of San Francisco. At least he's off the street and no longer able to carry a weapon.

And why do the cute ones always have to be so insane? Alex Fagan, Jr. is nice looking, but I guess sort of has that charming serial killer look. Especially after you know his is a maniac. And it ain't pretty when it's a maniac with a badge.
