Why did you just trust the police? They could be telling the truth but they could also be lying. And in either case they did not even bother to try. If they do not investigate and hand the case to the DA's office how would the DA be able to press charges?
Their accusation against Boudain could be correct but they could just as well be lazy and blame it on what the DA's office may or may not do in the future.
- microtherion 4y agoAnd, notably, the police had a pattern of lying about Boudin because he was trying to crack down on police misconduct. This led to absurd scenes such as the DA forced to rent a U-haul truck and rely on the assistance of federal agencies to transport seized stolen goods, and arrest a suspect after the bust of a major car burglary ring: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SFPD-didnt-stop-Quickly-burglaries-17195981.php https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SFPD-didnt-stop-Quick... The police achieved their objective of getting Boudin replaced by a DA who would let them continue to act with impunity. As you seem to have experienced yourself, fighting (non-Police) crime does not seem to have changed much.
