SFPD Rogue Cop Attacks Mobile Residents

by Freeman
SFPD rogue cop attacks mobile resident, kills dog
The SFPD continued it's unabated war on the poor and homeless with an unprovoked attack on the RV of two mobile residents [unnamed to protect them from further SFPD retaliation].
At approximately 8AM, Officer Paul Swatico of Bayview Station was harassing, destroying property and brutalizing street people in the vicinity of 24th St and Iowa St when he was seen ripping the door of the aforementioned RV when one of the M.R.'s dogs bit Swatico while defending his mistress. Swatico shot the dog in the head, killing it, then proceeded to haul a naked woman, who had been asleep, outside the RV and dragged her through the street before arresting her.
Further details are sketchy at this time, but Officer Swatico's actions were witnessed by at least a dozen eyewitnesses.
Captain Puccinelli, in preliminary statements before the media, has declared the shooting to be justified.
The question is: Will Swatico [re:wakko] be allowed to return to duty after this incident???

To get involved: Mobile Residents holds their meetings biweekly on Mondays at 225 Potrero [@15th] Sts. The next meeting is Monday, March 24th @ 7PM.
