Amazing Quotes About Fagan Sr. and Jr.

SF Examiner - Fagan Leaves SFPD 3/31/04

"This was déjà vu all over again," said former District Attorney Terrence Hallinan, who led the charge against Fagan Sr. during Fajitagate. "He was saying, 'Let me take care of it, it's my kid.' It's what I said happened on Union Street -- the father interfered to help out the son who got drunk and got in trouble."

SFBG 2002 Offies - The Year of the Loser

Who would Jesus punch?

After three off-duty San Francisco cops got into a fight with two other men outside a Union Street bar, badly injuring one of the men, Police Chief Earl Sanders compared critics of his investigation to those who attacked Jesus Christ. "There are always critics," he said. "We are going into one of our major holiday seasons, to celebrate the birth of a leader of the religious world. And I do recall in my readings that he was criticized."

Details revealed in Fagans' fracas - SF Chron 3/30/04

S.F. cops investigate role of ex-police chief in son's Arizona brawl
At various points, Fagan Jr. allegedly threatened to kill hotel security, refused to get up when officers tried to arrest him and boasted to a local officer that he was kicked off the San Francisco Police Department for "allegedly kicking the s -- out of someone off-duty.''

Myers said Fagan Sr. repeatedly refused to sit and kept repeating: "I just wanna help my son.''

The officer finally decided to detain him. "Why am I in trouble? I didn't do anything,'' Fagan Sr. told officers. "I used to be chief of police.''

Fagan Sr. said he went to help his son, who had not been violent, but that they were confronted by overzealous security officers. He said he had suffered a bloody scratch on his head from "helping his son.''

"He denied adamantly that he and his son might have had a physical altercation,'' Myers said in his report.

Fagan Jr.'s attorney, Jim Collins, said his client -- who is back in the Bay Area -- takes full responsibility for what happened in Arizona and has admitted he was wrong.

He said his client, still facing charges in the fajita case, will take what comes.

"Unlike San Francisco, where he believes and I believe he did nothing wrong, he has acknowledged to me he knows he did something wrong in Arizona,'' Collins said.

"He's going to accept the responsibility for that and accept the consequences, whatever they may be.''

I'll leave it at that for now. Seems like they use the same reasoning and logic in trying to cover up Fagan Jr's outburst in Arizona, as they did in the fajita gate mess. Too bad Willie
Brown, et al. weren't able to pull some strings for them in Arizona too.
