SF Police release 33 names of civilians killed by cops since 2000

Before we get to the list of names provided to me today by the San Francisco Police Department's legal affairs deputy Maureen Conefrey, I wish to say again the public records request that produced this info is dedicated to the memory of Alejandro "Alex" Nieto. There is also a need to express thanks to the power of open government laws that require the release of public documents such as what I received today.

I will follow up, now that I know SFPD is keeping such a list, for the names of civilians dead from officer-involved shootings from 1980 through the end of 1999. We must gather these names and share them, if only to remember their deaths and to spur all stakeholders to create better community policing in San Francisco - that doesn't leave civilians killed.

As a public service, I've posted the five-page PDF from the police containing the names at my Google Docs home.
