The Newsom Brown Doctorine: Police Who Protect Criminals Should Get Promoted

by The Crooked World of Newsom and Brown
San Francisco -- One day after prosecutors dropped charges that he conspired to block an investigation into his son's involvement in a street brawl, Assistant Chief Alex Fagan Sr. is expected to take over the duties today of running the San Francisco Police Department.
Fagan's reinstatement could create at least the appearance of a conflict of interest, though he has recused himself from the investigation into his son.

In other news on why the SF Mafia is rarely exposed:

"TV host, Newsom are limited partners in S.F. bar "
"A journalist just can't provide independent news coverage when he has "a direct and significant financial connection" to the very politician he's interviewing"

Lets hope we can stop Newson since he will continue Brown's policies and probably use antihomeless hatred to justify attacks on our civil liberties. But Newsom will be hard to stop since money buys elections and Newsom's pockets are deep. One would hope San Francisco would not fall for Newsom's scapegoating tactics that in many ways resemble the early thirties talk of Adolph Hitler, but SF is rich and scapegoating the poor (remember Frank Jordan and the Matrix program) seems to work since San Francisco Is one of the richest cities in the country (and much of SF's supposed liberalism stops when it conflicts with the pocketbooks of the upper middle class).
