SF Democratic Party's Opening Statements against Sheriff Mirkarimi Perpetrate More Lies
San Francisco City Attorney Democrat Dennis Herrera has made a case for having himself removed from office in wasting our tax dollars with his 27 page opening brief, his witness list and his 8 page letter on whether Sheriff Mirkarimi should cooperate with the city attorney all filed with the Ethics Commission on May 1, 2012 in the Democratic Party's frame-up of Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi.

Our tax dollars are paying for these lies to be posted on the city attorney’s website at:

http://www.sfcityattorney.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=1004
The 5/2/12 Bay Guardian has a good summary of the lies that have been previously refuted at:
“City case speculates about Mirkarimi's interference with investigation” by Steven T. Jones
http://www.sfbg.com/politics/2012/05/02/city-case-speculates-about-mirkarimis-interference-investigation
While you read all this, keep in mind that all these domestic disputes have NOTHING TO DO WITH OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT AS SHERIFF. Please also keep in mind that all the Ethics Commission does is make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors which decides to retain the Sheriff.
The witness list has an extraordinary, obviously prompted description of the proposed testimony of the beauty queen neighbor, Ivory Madison, in whom Mirkarimi’s wife confided. It claims “On January 1, 2012, Ms. Lopez and Ms. Madison met to talk about their goals for the coming year.” This is hilarious and has nothing to do with official misconduct of Ross Mirkarimi. These 2 women each have a baby in diapers who will spend the coming year in diapers at least part of the time (Lopez’ 2 year old should graduate from that phase this year) and each baby will do the usual endless whining that children do. These 2 women each have some other activity besides dealing with the endless demands of their children, but they are the primary babysitters.
We soon arrive at a sentence in Madison's proposed testimony that is an appalling insult to the intelligence of the reader and has no place in any legal statement: “Sheriff Mirkarimi responded by screaming at Ms. Lopez, saying fuck you, fuck you, and turning the car around, adding that Ms. Lopez didn’t deserve to eat.” Clearly, Dennis Herrera is showing off his “manhood” with this foul language in this witness list that mandates his removal from office as it certainly falls below the standard of decency, good faith and right action impliedly required of all public officers and he did this in his official capacity as city attorney. Sheriff Mirkarimi’s domestic problems were not in his official capacity as sheriff. They did mandate a trip to a marriage counselor, which is all Ivory Madison, a law school graduate who has not passed the California bar and thus is not licensed to practice law, should have recommended. If she had any sense, she should have kept out of this. Instead, she went to the trouble of making a video of a bruise that healed in a week and was an inadvertent bruise, not a deliberate violent attack.
Another person Herrera put on this witness list is Callie Williams, a neighbor who “sometimes heard fighting between Ms. Lopez and Sheriff Mirkarimi.” This is the stupidity of marriage as marital disputes are routine and sometimes ridiculous statements are made. It is outrageous that our tax dollars were spent recording a neighbor’s statements about a marriage that have absolutely nothing to do with official misconduct of Sheriff Mirkarimi.
What has been clear from the beginning is that a very unequal marriage is being used to frame a duly elected sheriff so as to remove him from office so he will not expose Mayor Ed Lee’s election fraud and so he cannot stop foreclosures and evictions. This marriage is unequal in terms of age, with Ross being essentially a grandparent and parent at age 50 to a 2 year old as age 35 is the last year one can be just a parent, he is some 14 years older than his wife, and they are culturally from different worlds with his wife having lived her life in Venezuela, speaking Spanish, and he has lived his life in this backward country, speaking English, each used to the customs of their respective native lands. Such a marriage is soon before a marriage counselor. This has nothing to do with official misconduct as sheriff.
The lies as to the domestic dispute in the 27 page brief have been previously refuted. City Attorney Democrat Dennis Herrera adds more lies. He states “The ultimate purpose of enforcement proceedings like this one is to protect the public, not to punish an officeholder.” (p. 16). THIS IS NOT PROTECTION; THIS IS GRAND LARCENY OF OUR TAX DOLLARS TO FRAME A DULY ELECTED SHERIFF IN THE INTERESTS OF AN ELECTION FRAUDING MAYOR AND THE CAPITALIST CLASS. If one is to “protect the public faith” as Herrera claims to be doing, then it is Herrera and Mayor Lee who should be removed from office immediately. City Attorney Herrera and Mayor Lee are punishing Mirkarimi by denying him his paycheck so now he cannot feed his family or support himself. Should their Democratic Party succeed in terrorizing the Board of Supervisors, Mirkarimi will be permanently unable to feed his family.
The one video Herrera certainly can have as it is a matter of public record is the video of Mayor Lee’s election fraud team, perpetrating election fraud. See

The Protection Racket that runs San Francisco will NEVER prosecute Ed Lee or his co-conspirators because it'll be the end of their reign if they do.
Mirkarimi would have been better off taking his chances with a jury trial rather than pleading guilty to the flimsy rap of "false imprisonment".
Watch his pals on the B.O.S. go south on him when his reinstatement comes up for a vote this fall (election time).
When the people of S.F. decide they've had enough of their little Banana Republic by the Bay and decide to rise up against it, things might
change.

Ross is testosterone-packed. He gets to eat.
It was not possible for Ross to go to trial as (1) he did not have the money and (2) the capitalist garbage press, the SF Chronicle and the TV had poisoned the jury pool so that 70% of potential jurors thought he was guilty of the domestic violence charges. Even if he had the money, most jurors are reactionary and believe the district attorney and the police, the capitalist frame-up team. The false imprisonment lie was that he simply turned the car around; his wife was never imprisoned. She left the house after the argument and went shopping. The charges were a complete frame-up which is why the district attorney could so easily drop them; he should have simply been told to see a marriage counselor.
THIS CASE IS NOT ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE; IT IS ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD AND REAL ESTATE. Further, THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE. While Ross' attorneys may not raise the issue of the mayor's election fraud, we can and must. Ross' attorneys should raise the issue of the mayor's election fraud as that would certainly force the city attorney to drop the whole case which is being brought by the mayor.
In case you missed the latest fixed election, the mayor's race of 2011 when a supposedly temporary mayor appointed by former mayor Gavin Newsom, who sat in office with election fraud and was protégé of the notorious election frauder Willie Brown, decided to run for election, see:

There were also allegations of money-laundering by the Ed Lee campaign, in collaboration with a notorious eviction strongman, Archway Property Services, which terrorized tenants at apartments owned by CitiApartments. Archway asked its employees to contribute $500 each to Lee's campaign, claiming they would be reimbursed.

Updating on the Democratic Party's election fraud, we now have a mayor who LIED when he said he would never run for mayor when he was appointed to complete Nazi Newsom's term, and then turned around and ran for mayor, effectively as an incumbent, thus destroying all other campaigns. He did not stop there with his unethical behavior. See

ALL ROSS NEEDS IS 3 VOTES. It takes 9 of the 11 votes to terminate a Sheriff so it takes 3 of 11 votes to retain the Sheriff. WE ARE THE MANY; THEY ARE THE FEW. There are 850,000 people in San Francisco (at least 77,000 people in each of 11 supervisorial districts; 850,000 is Cal Dept of Finance figure), of whom 13% are children, leaving 739,500 adults in San Francisco.

It's highly unlikely any of Mirkarimi's former "colleagues" on the B.O.S. will vote to reinstate him as Sheriff,
esp. those from the so-called "Progressive" bloc (Avalos, Campos, Kim, Mar, and Olague).
Four of these supes are up for re-election in November and will shamefully tuck their collective tails between
their legs and distance themselves as far away as they can from poor ol' Ross in order to save their own
political hides.
A better idea is to initiate a Recall of Ed Lee for ballot fixing in the 2011 Mayor's Race and remove
this criminal from office ASAP for committing "high crimes and misdemeanors". BTW, election fraud
is a felony.
Poetic Justice.
