Chesa Boudin talking tough on crime as recall approaches

The ground appears to be shifting in San Francisco though the ultimate outcome for DA Chesa Boudin is still not certain. On Monday, a jury found a police officer who had been charged with excessive force was not guilty. The outcome was seen as a defeat for police reform in general and for Boudin’s office in particular.
The jury found San Francisco Officer Terrance Stangel not guilty on three counts of brutality. A mistrial was declared on the fourth count, which the jury deadlocked on…
While felony assault charges are not unusual against civilians – the case against Stangel was momentous on several fronts: It appears to be the first case against an on-duty San Francisco police officer for excessive force, and for many police accountability advocates, the prosecution stands as test for District Attorney Chesa Boudin’s campaign pledge to be tougher on cops in cases of brutality.
