A very profound and well written letter. I truly feel sorry for all the police officers in San Francisco and other cities like it. I feel even sorrier for the citizens who are losing valuable protectors
Who needs good cops anyway? Well, not the criminals, not the rioters, not the looters, not the anti-social drug addicts roaming the streets, not the car jackers, not the home burglars, not the smash and grabbers, not the auto break-in thieves, certainly not the victims of senseless violent personal beatings.
With very few exceptions, what drew young people to police work is a desire to serve their fellow man, not a desire to prove how tough they are, or that they are a hero. Prior to some years ago when some evil people decided they should begin hunting police, it wasn't that common for an officer to need to use their gun. Now, nationally it seems that has changed.
What is keeping police officers from resigning in mass? Most are too stubborn to quit, and they almost all still need their paycheck. It's really a shame that the politicians, and top brass don't want to hear what their beat cops have to say. But no one should be surprised, because this has been going on for far too long.
It's so sad that Mari has reached this level of frustration. I hope she finds a good new position with a department that backs its officers. I thank God everyday that I retired 10 years ago and haven't had to put up with this lack of leadership.
God bless this retired officer. The SFPD and other agencies alike used to be respected, until liberals screwed it up! Liberal policies, and not backing the police bring crime, lots of it. You get what you deserve San Francisco
Some of San Francisco deserves what is happening but not all of us!!! Many of us hate these “progressive” policies that are destroying our beloved city and we get out and vote but sadly, all of the blow-ins vote too and look where we are now! :-(
Lateral to another department? Chief Scott couldn't make it in Los Angeles so our clowns hired him because he's black. Any officer that was had a lawful shooting will NOT BE PROMOTED by Scott, but boy of boy, if the cops black, you've got it made.

With RESPECT for SFPD's best.
