A Victory for Sheila Detoy!

A VICTORY FOR SHEILA DETOY



Yesterday a San Francisco Superior Court Judge ruled on the side of the people. The judge threw out the argument presented by the Police Officers Union that it was too late to discipline the officers that killed this seventeen year-old child. The charges against Gregory Breslin and his cronies will not be dismissed!!!!

This victory is a step towards discipline for the officers that not only committed murder, but then covered it up. Discipline of these officers will be a step towards peaceful streets in San Francisco free from abusive cops like Gregory Breslin.

The fight is not over, now we must demand that the San Francisco Police Commission remove Gregory Breslin from the San Francisco Police Department IMMEDIATELY!!!



SIX YEARS - NO JUSTICE FOR SHEILA DETOY


* May 13, 1998: San Francisco police officers shot up a car full of unarmed teenagers and killed 17-year-old Sheila Detoy. SFPD then blamed her friends for her death.


* The Office of Citizen Complaints found that Officer Gregory Breslin is responsible for her death. The OCC also sustained complaints against the other officers involved in Sheila’s killing.


In 2003 the San Francisco Police Commission decided they wanted to file charges against the officers, but the Police Officers Association tried to block discipline, but they failed.
