Oakland's rank and file officers are presentlyin the process of ratifying their recently negotiated 9%increase. Ratification is expected within the next fewweeks.San Jose, however, is still negotiating under the firstyear of a voter approved Collective Bargaining agreementand it is difficult at this point to determine whatsalary increase they will receive. In addition to theirown problems in reaching an agreement, additionaldelays are expected because of other municipalemployee job actions that have taken place in SantaClara County. However, should San Jose settle theircontract prior to August 25th, their percentage increasewill be incorporated into our formula.CONFIDENTIALLYSPEAKINGby Gerry SchmidtThe Mayor's Citizen Assitance Center is located inRoom 160 at City Hall. The office receives andresponds to complaints about city services or othercommunity problems.On Monday, May 11, 1981, Ms. Catherine Barron, aC.E.T.A. employee in that office, submitted a confidential26-page report to the Mayor. The report wassaid to be based mostly on calls and visits to the complaintoffice by citizens who contended that the policedepartment's Internal Affairs Bureau didn't investigatetheir claims of police wrongdoing. Department policyas it pertains to internal investigations was also criticized.On Monday, June 1, 1981 at the regular meeting ofthe Board of Supervisors, Harry Britt who had alreadyreleased a copy of the confidential Barron report tomembers of the news media, introduced legislationwhich would do away with Internal Affairs as it is nowstructured thereby creating a newly formed CivilianReview Board. Britt said he was merely re-introducinglegislation backed by the late Mayor George Mosconeand written by the San Francisco Bar Association in1976. Although not immediately, the Bar Associationfinally did re-endorse this proposal.On Wednesday, June 3, 1981, Police Chief Con Murphywas directed by the Police Commission to conduct a"comprehensive and complete" investigation of thedepartment's Internal Affairs Bureau pertaining to theallegations raised in the Barron report. The Chiefassured members of the Commission he would have adetailed report ready for their regularly scheduledmeeting on Wednesday, June 24, 1981.Continued Back PageAs our salary figures become more official throughthe Civil Service process, I have no doubt that our formulawill become the subject of substantial criticismbecause of the "unanticipated" double-digit increasethat the Charter mandated formula will provide.Should the criticism come, it will no doubt emanatefrom the very same officials and groups that supportedthe measure to place police officers and firefightersunder this ill-conceived salary mechanism in the firstplace. The only problem with such criticism is that itshould have been aired years ago when police officersand firefighters received little or no increases under thisformula.The only opposition to our salary formula since itwent into effect in 1976 has been from the police officersand firefighters that hae suffered because of theminiscule wages that have resulted from its implernentation.No one individual in the political areas, not one communityor business group in San Francisco, nor oneeditorial from any newspaper or other media has everuttered one syllable in opposition to our formula. Thereason for the silence was quite simple - the formulaby MikeHebe1The next scheduled sergeant's examination is slottedfor January 1982. With some luck there should be atleast 10 vacancies in the rank of sergeant at that time.The next scheduled lieutenant's examination is placedat July 1982. There will be over 50 vacancies in thisrank at that time.81-82 BudgetThe Police Department's budget for FY 81-82reduces the number of sergeant's positions by 70. Insteadof 284 sergeants, the Department will authorizeonly 214. This move immediately eliminated the 61vacancies in the rank of sergeant which existed on June30, 1981.Vacancies in the rank of Q50 sergeant will thereforebe few in number by the time the January 1982 exam isgiven and will occur primarily due to retirements.Further complicating the sergeant vacancy situationis the consent decree provision which mandates the appointmentof only 25 sergeants in FY 1981-82 andanother 25 in FY 1982-83.Lieutenant's VacanciesThere are presently 47 vacancies in this permanentrank; 37 are now being filled on a like work/like paybasis. The remaining 10 await the development ofcriteria (job performance, experience, seniority, abilityto perform, etc.) by the Chief for continuing appointmentsto the lieutenant rank. Since the development ofcriteria for like work/like pay positions to replace theseniority system has proven fruitless after numerousmeetings, it is reasonable to anticipate that further aphasbeen financially beneficial to the City and County ofSan Francisco and a financial disaster for police officers,firefighters and the families they are trying tosupport.The alternative to our salary formula, whether or notthe criticism comes is Collective Bargaining with an arbitrationmechanism for resolving an impasse shouldone arise during the negotiating process. Had the collectivebargaining process been utilized this year for example,there is no doubt that the City had a greatpotential to save millions in salary and retirement contributions,while still granting our members an adequatesalary increase as well as providing additionalhealth and welfare benefits. However, the City mustresign itself -to paying the larger than expected salaryincreases.In the coming weeks, we will attempt to bring aboutan education process on the benefits of collectivebargaining so that those that are not familiar with theprocess are better informed on how this process willsave money while still providing our members with a decentliving wage and adequate benefits.Continued Back PageA SERGEANT AND LIEUTENANTEXAMINATIONpointments are a way off.The FY 81-82 budget maintained the number ofauthorized lieutenants at 77.Advancing Exam DatesPrior to and after approval of the Consent Decree itwas agreed by the Civil Service Commission and theDepartment of Justice that a lieutenant's examinationshould be held as soon as possible after August 1, 1981.The Association, in addition to endorsing an earlier examfor the rank of lieutenant, began to pursue the advancementof the sergeant's testing.At the Association's general election in Janaury1981, a motion to hold the lieutenant's and sergeant'sexaminations as soon as possible in close time proximitywas very narrowly defeated.In light of the very significant reduction in thenumber of sergeant positions and in view of the intrac-Continued Back PageIN THIS ISSUEWidows & Orphans; Police Post ....................................Page 2President's Report...................................................Page 3Around the Department ....................................Page 4Pride................................................................................Page 5Fellowship............................................................Page 8Civilian Review Board Comments ............................Pages 8 & 9POA Grievance Victories...............................................................Page 10Board of Directors .................................................................Page 11Letters..................................................................................Page 12DinnerDancePictures.................................................Pagesl6&17Youth&TheLaw ........................................................Pagei9MedalofValor .................................................................Page22PAL................................................................................

SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN - Page 3 July 1981PRESIDENT'SREPORTJ/I'You were sent a letter from this office advising thatthe IUPA Executive Board had postponed making adecision on payment to Ethel George until all partiesinvolved in the controversy could present their side atour convention in July. Ethel's claim for $5,000 has notbeen refused as stated in your publication.INTERNATIONAL UNIONCONTROVERSYby BOB BARRYFor several months now, the POA and Robert Gordon,Secretary-Treasurer of the International Union ofPoice Associations, of which we are a member, havebeen involved in a bit of controversy surrounding a requestthat 'I made of the IUPA approximately one yearago.In April 1980, when the IUPA was experiencingfinancial djfficulty, Mr. Gordon requested an advancein dues from the POA. I then requested a copy of theirmost recent "Certified Audit" so that our Board ofDirectors could evaluate the IUPA's financial condilion.In place of the audit, Mr. Gordon sent a copy oftheir Financial Statement which was not satisfactory tome. I again requested the audit but did not receive ituntil June, 1981.During the interim period, tensions began to buildbetween us that resulted in letters being sent back andforth finally culminating in a motion by our Board to"reassess" our further involvement with the IUPA. Thequestion of future involvement has not yet been resolvedṘeprinted for your information is Mr. Gordon's recentletter to me and my response. Further informationconcerning the IUPA will be forthcoming in thePOLICEMAN newspaper.Robert Barry, PresidentSan Francisco Police Officers' Assn.June 10, 1981Dear Bob:I have given a great deal of thought as to whether Ishould respond to the recent articles which werepublished in your publication and in particular to theApril edition wherein several false and misleadingstatements were printed regarding the IUPA and mepersonally. As you well know, I have never been knownto sit by and allow anyone or any group to attack me orthe IUPA with unfounded accusations and whoevermade the statements recorded in the minutes deservesto be answered.First and foremost, the statement that I am facingimpeachment charges borders on libel for I would likeyou to anyone else in your association to produce anydocument or written intention by anyone else that such aserious charge of impeachment is pending or contemplated.Since your publication reaches thousands ofour members and non members, I believe your paperhas caused me personal harm and unless you can producesuch material supporting the charge, I demand aretraction.The information that the Boston POA, Detroit POA,New York City PBA and Chicago POA have all droppedfrom the IUPA is in error. The Boston POA,Detroit POA and New York City PBA have never beenmembers of the IUPA. I fail to see how they could dropout when they were never members to begin with. TheChicago Confederation of Pplice is a member of theTUPA and their president is presently an Executive VicePresident of the IUPA. As of this writing, and to thebest of my knowledge, he has not resigned from theIUPA and further is seeking re-election to the office ofFirst Vice President of this Union in July.It was further stated that the IUPA is in debt for$200,000 which again is not true. Nor, did we refuse tosubmit a certified audit upon request by your Association.We have never refused to provide financial informationto any local and at the present time, as I indicatedto you in my recent leter, our auditors arepreparing our annual certified public audit for presentationat the convention, as specified in our bylaws.It was also reported that I was being sued for $5million dollars. This too is untrue and again I believeborders on libel. I challenge you or anyone else to produceany document verifying this information. I am beingsued by the American Federation of Police ofMiami, Florida, as in the Police Magazine, in connectionwith a statement I made in an article that appearedin this publication regarding the activities of GeraldArenberg of the AFP, for an amount in excess of $5,000- not $5 million as reported in your publication.I have enjoyed a close social and working relationshipwith many officers of the POA over the past 10 years. Ifind it unfortunate that for whatever reason you areseeking to discredit the IUPA and me with innuendoes,half truths and outright falsehoods. I sincerely hopethat the rank and file of your association are madeaware of the true facts and not this one-sided reporting.I can accept legitimate complaints from a member localbut I will not accept accusations without the opportunityto respond and set the record straight. I therefore requestthat this letter be reprinted in your publication.Fraternally,Robert D. GordonSecretary-TreasurerInternational Union ofPolice Associations, AFL-CIORobert D. Gordon, Secretary/Treasurer(nternational Union of Police Assns.July 8, 1981Dear Bob:In response to your letter of June 10, 1981, which isreprinted in the July issue of the San FranciscoPOLICEMAN, the official publication of the San FraniscoPolice Officers' Association, I am responding,point by point, to the alleged "innuendoes", "halftruths" and outright "falsehoods" that you again allegewere printed in the April 1981 edition of thePOLICEMAN newspaper.Point #1. Our minutes in the April edition state:"Impeachment proceedings are pending against BobGordon, Secretary-Treasurer.My Response: You are correct, the word "pending"was inappropriate. The minutes should have indicatedthat impeachment proceedings are being contemplatedby individuals in another IUPA affiliate.Point #2. The minutes reflected that Boston POA,Detroit POA, New York City PBA and Chicago POAhave dropped from the IUPA.My Response: You are partially correct. Boston hasnever been a member of the IUPA and we were in errorin stating so. Chicago POA is still a member, however,it is my understanding that there is major dissatisfactionbetween the Chicago POA and the IUPA. Insofaras New York and Detroit are concerned, both organizationswere members of the "ICPA", now called theIUPA. Both dropped out when the organizational namechange occurred in Phoenix, Arizona.Point #3. Ethel George's claim for $5,000 has notbeen refused by the IUPA.My Response: Ms. George's claim for $5,000 for servicesrendered during the 1979 IUPA Convention inSan Francisco should have been resolved in 1979. It isnow 2 years later and any reasonable person must concludethat such a long period of time is certainly areusal;Point #4. The IUPA is in debt for $200,000.My Response: The minutes reflecting the IUPA's indebtednesswas correct. The IUPA's "FinancialStatements" that your office provided me were reviewedby a Certified Public Accountant and the figure of$200,000 was correct. Insofar as the IUPA Audit is concerned,which I requested one year ago and received inJune 1981, the audit currently reflected a $173,063"Negative Net Worth". Although the judit reflects theIUPA had a net excess of revenues over expenses of$8,462, this excess is onlydue to the fact that the AFL-ClO waived all per capita tax through February 1981.Point #5. The minutes reflected that a $5 million libelsuit has been filed against Secretary-Treasurer BobGordon. You have refuted this contention stating:"This too is untrue and again I believe borders onlibel." Additionally you stated: "I challenge you oranyone else to produce any document verifying this information."Your contention is as follows "I am beingsued by the American Federation of Police of Miami,Florida, as is the Police Magazine, in connection with astatement I made in an article that appeared in thispublication regarding the activities of Gerald Arenbergof the AFP, for an amount in excess of $5,000 - not $5million as reported in your publication."My Response: The minutes are correct. Robert Gordon,Secretary-Treasurer of the IUPA, the IUPA itselfand various John Does are being sued by the AmericanFederation of Police for $5 million.In the January 1981 issue of "Police Times", Page 2,published in North Miami, Florida, the following excerptis taken from an article entitled "$5 Million LibelSuit To Be Filed". "Lawyers for Gerald Arenberg,Editor for Police Times/Command Magazine havebegun legal proceedings for libel and slander against apolice union official. . ." The union official is RobertGordon of the IUPA. In a letter addressed to me datedJuly 1, 1981, from Gerald Arenberg, Vice-President,AFP, Mr. Arenberg states he is seeking $5 million fromMr. Gordon.Additionally, I have in my possession a copy of thelawsuit filed in the Circuit Court, Dade County Florida,Case #81-543, naming Robert Gordon and the IUPA asdefendants in a complaint for damages. The last pageof the complaint states "WHEREFORE, PlaintiffGERALD ARENBERG, and Plaintiff AMERICANFEDERATION OF POLICE demand compensatorydamages against Defendants, INTERNATIONALUNION OF POLICE ASSOCIATIONS, ANDROBERT GORDON, in an amount in excess of fivethousand ($5,000.00) dollars, together with punitivedamages, costs, and attorney's fees, together with anyother relief this Court may deem fit and proper. Plaintiffsdemand trial by jury as to any issues triable."The only relevance the $5,000 figure mentioned inthis complaint has is that in order to sue an individualor corporation in the state of Florida for damages inexcess of $5,000, the lawsuit must be filed in the CircuitCourt which handles all claims in excess of $5,000. Thisfigure is a mere "legal formality" when drawing up thecomplaint and it has absolutely no relationship to theactual damages ($5 million) being sought.I trust that the enclosed documents that you have requestedare sufficient documentation supporting ourminutes outlined in Point #5.Fraternally,Robert F. BarryPresident, S.F.P.O.A.

SOMETHING 'SWRONGby Ed Collins, AcademyThe plight of injured and disabled officers appearingbefore the City's Retirement System is sad indeed.After suffering the long and continuous delays enrouteto a retirement hearing, these officers are often the victimSof decisions which are unfair and in some cases,only temporary.In one recent case, an officer was ruled permanentlydisabled (years after the injury, by the way) and retiredby the City's Arbitrator, Less than two months later thisdecision was reversed. He - is now carried sick leavewithout pay. -There is one officer currently working at the Hall whomust wear a leg brace and use a cane just to walk. Hehas the right to park in those funny blue zones - hislicense plates say so! The DMV recognizes this officer'shandicap, why can't the Retirement System?As you may or may not know, Sgt. Mike Hebel is theP.O.A. attorney in this area and I spoke with himabout the situation injured and disabled officers face inthe retirement process; I came to the conclusion that alarge part of the problem is money.Moneys Moneyto retain an additional attorney, forpara legal assistance, for a legal secretary, money forthe services of the best possible expert witnesses, moneyto assist and support the case in anyway. Sgt. Hebel indicatedto me that the money currently spent by theP.O.A. in this area is less than $20,000.00 a year.What is $20,000.00 to an organization which takes in$400,000.00 a year? Peanuts,as they say. $20,000.00 ispeanuts. The men and women of whom I speak arecourageous, heroic and valiant and the P.O.A. spendspeanuts in their defense.Want to know something? The P.O;A. spent $400.00to send its hierarchy to a dinner at Richard Skiar'shouse; it spent $30,000.00 for the services of a publicrelations firm; it donated almost $100,000.00 to variouspoliticians. That boils down to $400.00 for dinner,$30,000.00 for image and $100,000.00 for nothing.Give Mike what he needs to get the job done. In lightof the sacrifices made by the officers the P.O.A. purportsto represent, this is asking very little."THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPOTAND PAST BUSINESS"£1TRANSMISSIONSWorld's Largest Transmission Specialists1633 VALENcrA ST.(415) 285-1600 (AT ARMY)SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94110GUY FRANCOZSPECIALIZING IN CONTINENTAL CUISINE215 West PortalAveTelephoneSan Francisco.

TONYNOVELLO (simultaneously), "3M103, give us a 408code 3" and "3A103 get us a 408 code 3 we have officerswounded" -I possess a tape of that conversation, to which I havelistened many times. Each time I listen to the tape, Iam filled with a tremendous sense of pride in membersof the San Francisco Police Department. Firstly, Ithink of the amazing heroism demonstrated by OfficerJim Gervasi and Officer Mike Boyd. Both officers weregunned down in the hallway ofthe Tower Apartmentsby a desperate speed freak who had just sold them ahalf gram of methamphetamine. The speed freak, whohad done a year for being an accomplice in the murderof a Deputy Sheriff in Jenner, California, several yearsago.He shot Mike in the face at point blank range. The.38 calibre bullet traveled through Mike's nose, knockedout several teeth, and then, deflected by the teeth,exited Mike's left cheek. The suspect's second bulletsmashed one of the bones in Gervasi's left arm into "ahundred pieces", possibly disabling Jim permanently.At that time Mike fired several shots at the suspect andJim emptied his gun at the fleeing suspect. Mike andJim then chased the suspect two blocks, despite the factthat Jim was out of bullets and Mike was seriouslywounded in the face. At Jasper & Union the suspectshot Mike a second time, that bullet striking him justabove the right knee. At that point, Officers Boyd andGervasi captured the wounded suspect.The courage of Officers Boyd and Gervasi is an obvioussource of pride, but when I reflect further on theincident, I see many other examples of extreme professionalismand devotion to duly. The first three units tothe scene of the "221 shots fired, 914" were all "sam"units. 3A103, Sgt. Tony Novello; 1E1 sam, OfficerTom Del Torre of the Crime Prevention Unit, and3M103, Sgt. Peter Godbois of the Muni Transit Detailcould all have easily ignored the radio broadcasts andwaited until units from Central Station arrived, butthey immediately responded, alone, not knowing whatwould confront them.I also think about Judy Pursell being one of the firstofficers on the scene and making an excellent policereport oil a very complex and very serious incident. Ican't forget the fine job Sgt. Jim Hughes- did at SFGH.He had the very difficult task of clearing the emergencyarea of concerned police officers that were getting in theway of the hospital staff. Sgt. Hughes accomplishedthat unpleasant job with diplomacy -and tact.Lastly, I would be negligent if I did not remark onthe very professional job done in Communications bycivilian employees Suzanne Levin and FrankFaraguna. Although, as usual, a serious problem aroseregarding the - failure to broadcast the incident onChannel Five, I have determined that it was through nofault of the much maligned Communications Personnel.No one could have done a better job than the oneperformed by Suzanne Levin and Frank Faraguna.Although our department has certain problemswhich we are going to have to deal with, as long as wecontinue to employ people of the same calibre as those Ihave mentioned, I will have as much pride in the SanFrancisco Police Department during my next 32 yearsin the department, as I have enjoyed during my first 12years. -

SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN - Page 6 July 1981SAN FRANCISCOFellowship ofChristianPence OfficersEVIDENCEby Dan HamptonExcerpt from tke book ANSWERS TO TOUGHQUESTIONS by Josh McDowell and Don Stewart. Permissionto reprint from Here's Life Publishers, Inc.What makes the Bible so special? CHRISTIANITYBELIEVES and teaches that the Bible alone is therevealed Word of God. Even though it was written bymen, the ultimate author was God Almighty. Thisclaim was not invented by the Church, but is the claimthe Bible makes for itself."The word of the Lord endures forever" (I Peter1:25, MLB). "All Scripture is God-breathed" (IITimothy 3:16, MLB). "For the prophecy came not inold time by the will of man: but holy men of God spakeas they were moved by the Holy Spirit" (II Peter 1:21,KJV).Over 2,000 times in the Old Testament alone thereare clauses such as, "And God spoke to Moses," "theword of the Lord came unto Jonah," and "God said."Moreover, the Bible claims to be a record of the wordsand deeds of God, thus the Bible views itself as God'sWord.The mere fact that the Bible claims to be the Word ofGod does not prove that it is such, for there are otherbooks that make similiar claims. The difference is thatthe Scriptures contain indisputable evidence as beingthe Word of God.One reason that the Bible is different from otherbooks is its unity. Although this book was composed bymen, its unity betrays the hand of the Almighty. TheBible was written over a period of about 1,500 years bymore than 40 different human authors. These authorscame from a variety of backgrounds, including Joshua(a military general), Daniel (a prime minister), Peter (afisherman) and Nehemiah (a cupbearer).The authors of the various books wrote in differentplaces, such as the wilderness (Moses), prison (Paul),Patmos exile (John). The biblical writings were composedon three different continents (Africa, Asia, andEurope), and in three different languages (Hebrew,Aramaic, and Greek).The contents of the Bible deal with many controversialsubjects. Yet, the Bible is a unity. From beginningto end, there's one unfolding story of God's plan ofsalvation for mankind. This salvation is through theperson of Jesus Christ (John 14:6). Jesus Himselftestified that He was the theme of the entire Bible."Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye haveeternal life: and they are they which testify of MeFor had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me:for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings,how shall ye believe My words?" (John 5:39, 46, 47,KJV).In another place, "And beginning at Moses and allthe prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scripturesthe things concerning Himself" (Luke 24:27,MV; see also Luke 24:44).The Old Testament is the preparation (Isaiah 40:3).The Gospels are the manifestation (John 1:29). TheBook of Acts is the propagation (Acts 1:8). The Epistlesgive the explanation (Colossians 1:27). The Book ofRevelation is the consummation (Revelation 1:7). TheBible is all about Jesus.The entire Bible is a unity with each part needing theothers to be complete. Dr. W.F. Albright puts it thisway:"To the writers of the New Testament, the HebrewBible was Holy Scripture and they were the direct heirsof its prophets. It is, accordingly, quite impossible tounderstand the New Testament without recognizingthat its purpose was to supplement and explain theHebrew Bible."Any attempt to go back to the sources of Christianitywithout accepting the entire Bible as our guide isthus doomed to failure." (cited by Roger T. Forster andV. Paul Mars'ton).Lest anyone think this isn't something marvelous,we'd like to give you this challenge. Find ten peoplefrom your local are who have similar educationalbackgrounds, all speak the same language, and all arefrom basically the same culture, then separate themand ask them to write their opinion on only one controversialsubject, such as the meaning of life.When they have finished, compare the conclusions ofthese ten writers. Do they agree with each other ? Ofcourse not. But the Bible did not consist of merely tenauthors, but 40. It was not written in one generation,but over a period 1,500 years; not by authors with thesame education, culture and language, but with vastlydifferent educatiOn, many different cultures, fromthree continents and three different languages, andfinally not just one subject but hundreds.And yet the Bible is unity. There is complete harmony,which cannot be explained by coincidence or collusion.The unity of the Bible is a strong argument infavor of its divine inspiration.The unity of the Scriptures is only one reason amongmany which supports the Bible's claim to be the divineWord of God. Others which could be explained indetail are the testimony of the early Chruch, the witnessof history and archaeology, and the evidence of changedlives throughout the centuries, to name but a few.West & ('raszker ESTATE1812 Noriega St., San Francisco, 94122(NA.

A DAY IN COURTby Milena Marsico-SchmidtMy first experience as a prospctive juror in San Francisco came shortly after Imarried a San Francisco police officer. I have been consistently rejected from servingon juries, and my husband's occupation and background, not mine, appears to be thebasis of those rejections by defense attorneys.When asked by the Court if any relatives or friends are police law enforcement officials,my response brings a chuckle from the audience as if to say "You know she'llbe excused!" The fact that as an operations manager for a large and prominent retailorganization requires responsible and objective decisions of me daily seems to be of nosignificance.If defense attorneys are concerned about a prejudice on the part of prospectivejurors, then I believe they are fulfilling their responsibility to their client. If, however,they believe that police spouses are the only citizens with prejudices, they are beingextremely shortsighted. An appreciation for the presumption of innocence issomething law enforcement officials live with daily.Recently, while waiting for a courtroom at City Hall to open, I overheard threeother prospective jurors relating their prior experiences to one another. The first said,"I sat on a jury where a young man was arrested for growing marijuana in hisbaclyard. Well! All you had to do was look at him and see that his eyes were alwaysred!" Another felt that, "If a person is caught in the act of committing a crime, heshouldn't even have a trial!" To which a young man replied, "But what if somepoliceman just decided he didn't like the guy and just claimed he saw the guy committhe crime!" Itis certainly reassuring to know that defense attorneys are relying on impartialreasoning such as this.I find my constant rejection as a prospective juror an insult to my intelligence, independenceand integrity, to say nothing of a waste of my valuable time and the City'sprecious tax dollars. Perhaps a few attorneys should reassess their own biases beforeprejudiôing others.Yeah, yeah. .

Now, after an absence of three years, the San FranciscoMounted Police Unit is returning to the McLaren Park Stables, from which itwill patrol park grounds and surrounding neighborhoods.The restoration of Mounted Patrol coverage of many of the southern areas ofthe City is part of Chief of Police Cornelius P. Murphy's overall objective ofmaking the department more visible to citizens. "We now have the resources tolaunch the program thanks to the support of the Friends of the Police Departmentorganization," Chief Murphy said. "Without their help and the encouragementof the community, we wouldn't have started mounted patroloperations for at least another year," he added.Jf-Di 51ootreseMt5HflTsorOIlOj1': CP/2;OSwy 1ttL'j 1 9c1 98iJ2.rn1ie £st D% £1oon406 Ckite*tt Sv , t coto Four of tke £MjArea'snds— MeRC1fl--jAfne Aflt - HEMXS 011 FLl—€nvtn qejehoe dogs &' chili irtinimum donationRENO'SLIQUOR STORE726 - 22ND STREETSAN FRANCISCO 94107647-7667UNDER NEW MANA GEMENTCOCKTAILS. . .

SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN - Page 8 July 1981CIVILIAN REVIEW WhatS.F. EXAMINER Thurs., July 2. 1981Opinion/Mayor Feinstein and the policeT LONG has been an article of faith withinI the police establishment and among the morethoughtful elements of municipal governmentthat a civilian review board, formed to sit asjudge of police conduct, does more harm thangood.We adhere to that conviction. Nothing hashappened in the current controversy regardingallegations of police misconduct to change it.Obviously, Mayor Feinstein is more disturbedthan she formerly was about theperformance of the Internal Affairs Bureau,the in-house police agency assigned to investigatecomplaints against the police. Most ofthese involve allegations of excessive force —or "brutality," if you prefer the term.We hope that her proper concern will notlead to a 180-degree reversal of her earlieropposition to a civilian police review board as itis advocated by some elements of the community.We take it that these are in a minority,although they enjoy scattered support on theBoard of Supervisors. These advocates seempersuaded that a police officer's function isthat of a social counselor, who never suffersbruising physical encounter or a life-threateningsituation. The case of the Oakland policeofficer pointlessly slain this week sharpens thispoint of the discussion.Experience has shown civilian policeboards to be short of understanding of thepeculiar problems that challenge police officers.whose job by its nature is unlike anycivilian experience.But opposition to civilian police reviewmust presuppose that the police are fairlymonitoring their own performance. This doesnot appear to have been true in every instancehere, as Police Chief Con Murphy's owninvestigations have shosn. The Internal AffairsBureau has been slow to investigate somecomplaints, and perhaps in others displayed anunacceptable indifference or a tendency tooverprotect the accused.Even so, there is no evidence of rampantabuses On the part of the San Francisco police.If past track records are valid, the police willmake about 85,000 arrests this year, and onethirdof 1 percent of them will result in chargesof excessive force. Of course, even a singlecomplaint is one too many, but the percentagesseem to lie on the side of the police.One area of deficiency for which InternalREBEL BROTHERSREMODEL, ADD ON OR REPAIRLICENSE #402791J.

This is no way to weed out therecidivists and bad apples. If there is a patternof misbehavior, it cannot be ignored.While all kinds of .solutions are beingoffered in this latest controversy, it is clear thatthe JAB, not having proved itself beyond.serious criticism, should be cleaned out andreplaced with new faces. That would mean afresh start, with-officers given a clear mandateto investigate complaints promptly and eschewthe temptation to gather round an accusedfellow officer and unfairly shield him or herfrom the consequences of the misdeeds.The Police Commission's responsibility inthis matter cannot be overlooked. After all, it isan already constituted civilian review boardand perhaps has been remiss in not trackingthe JAB sufficiently, resulting in embarrassmentfor the department and City Hall.Meanwhile, given the circumstances, somesmall new element of civilian input in the LABwould not be amiss. But Feinstein would err ifshe should buckle before demands for an allcivilianreview board.CIVILIANREVIEW BOARDby Donald A. Goad, PresidentSan Francisco Police Supervisorsand Investigators AssociationCornelius P. MurphyChief of PoliceSan Francisco Police DepartmentIn connection with the recent attempt of certaingroups to rekindle the establishment of civilian reviewboard within San Francisco, please accept our most activesupport of all efforts you may undertake to thwartthis regressive concept.We certainly must join with you in a concerted effortto reassert and stress the value of the heretofore acceptedpositions of both Mayor Feinstein and yourselfin viewing the present lAB as the most viable method ofinvestigating complaints of police misconduct. Ourassociation supports a competent and complete investigationby sworn officers.Moreover, we must certainly stress the recognitionthat the civilian review board concept is unworkable formany reasons, e.g. exposure of confidential informationto those not bound by all applicable privileges, lackof standing within the administrative chain of command.Police review boards have either failed or made alaughing stock of any department, that has attemptedto implement them.Please again be assured of our.support and desire towork closely with you to overcome this object and unwarrantedattack on our police department.New Yellow Cab626-2345DEPENDABILITY.,s:s:s,a4ss,s,,s$:s:s,stsSfsstSS$SSS$SSSfSSS*StSJ*tS$an franti5oYN VO,E O VN* WI?

ChronicleEditorialS -Response toPolice AbusesIN THE CURRENT concern over themethods and effectiveness of the investigationof complaints of police brutality, a major pointseems to have escaped some of those involved.They overlook the fact that the city already hasa citizens review board, the five-member PoliceCommission, to which the city charter delegatesr&&ponsibility for running the department.- That commission now has one member, Al -Nelder. who is a former chief of police. But himembership is an anomaly, and the commissionhas traditionally been composed of citizenswith no previous relationship to thedepartment whatsoever. -And in its longhistory, the commission has repeatedly shownwillingness, time after time, to suspend ordismiss the occasional misfit, grafter or bullywho successfully gets by a demanding screeningprocess and then fails to live -up to his oath,Recent news stories by Chronicle reporterKevin Leary and other disclosures in a reportprepared by the staff of Police Chief Con -Murphy for Mayor Dianne Feinstein haveshown, however, that the present system isflawed. The commission does not receive directinformation when accusations are madeagainst an officer but receives only thatinformation which filters up to it throughmany hands within the department.COMPLAINTS AGAINST officers areinvestigated at present by the department's- -Bureau of Internal Affairs. Because assignmentto the bureau involves officers investigatingthe conduct of their colleagues, the assignmentis certainly not generally eagerly sought.Temptation to protect a fellow officer is alwayspresent. A mechanism must be found tocounter any inclination to cover-up. The PoliceCommission must have direct access to initial -accusations of misconduct and a means toensure that the follow-up investigative process- is thorough and- honest.- What is also apparent in the Leary stories isa departmental pattern. A small percentage ofofficers is responsible for a very substantialnumber of complaints of misuse of authority. If --of ficers become known for a pattern of-misconduct, a Police Commission which is fully- informed about their conduct -will have littleproblem dealing with them.The Overwhelming majority of • the city'spolice officers have nothing to fear if thePolice Commission is provided with informa-'tion not subject to departmental filtering.

Todaygains supportAckno'vledging that the recent study of hisInternal Affairs Bureau revealed "disturbingelements," Police Chief Con Murphy hasyielded slightly on the proposed allcivilianreview board.For the first time since the controversy ofhandling police complaints came up severalmonths ago the chief acknowledged thatadding some civilian investigators on theInternal Affairs Bureau might be beneficial"I still don't question the integrity of the(investigation) unit," said the chieI, "but there issome shoring up that has to be done."He added that the inclusion of some civilians"would bea healthy thing in that there is an airof doubt about the credibility of the unit."Murphy said any such change only would beagreed:to "as long as-I can assure my officersthat they will get a fair, impartial, objectiveInvestigation.." :The report was released formally by the SanFrancisco Police Commission last week. Inmaking the reprt public, the commissiondeleted all- reference to the nanes of allegedvictims of police brutality. The deletionsfollowed, the recommendation Of the cityattorney's office to protect the coinfidentiality ofthe accusers.After a series of accusations that the policedepartment was sweeping aside complaints, thecommission called for its own investigation ofthe Internal Affairs Bureau. -Mayor Dianne Feinstein issued a statementindicating that she was upset by the report andthat perhaps her confidence in the bureau,which she so staunchly backed, has beenshaken.Murphy redeclared his opposition to a totalcivilian staff of investigators, a proposal-that hasbeen introduced by Supervisor Harry Britt.The Britt plan would create a civilian boardidentical to that had been proposed by the lateGeorge Moscone when he was mayor andsupported by the San Francisco Bar Association,in 1976.Recently the Bar Association renewed itssupport of such a plan, while side-stepping anyendorsement per se of Britt's proposal.Dr. David Sanchez, Jr., chairman of thePolice Commission, indicated he was pleasedwith the new report."It is not a whitewash," said Dr. Sanchez. "Ithink basically the report does show that thereare significant areas that the commission will beaddressing and needs to improve."In the meantime, Murphy is expected torelease the results of his own investigation intothe handling of police complaints. Thepreliminary report is due this week; the finalrecommendations due in about a month.Britt's proposal to create the civilian board ispresently going through committee review. Itappears that the majority of the supervisors donot now favor the complete change. Severalmembers of the board have suggested that somecivilians be added as investigators.Dick Nolan/Civilian police review boardCitizen Briti and posse areforging another set of handcuffsfor the San Francisco police. as ifour doughty lads in blue were notalready ell laced about withchains and restraints; Theyshouldn't be permitted to get awaywith it.Briti is the city-county supervisorwho runs on the homosexualticket.

That line of baloney sellswell, particularly -among thoesewhose holiday sport includes thepastime of bouncing bottles oft'police helnts. as was done a fewdays ago when the gays held theirdowntown parade.There's a very serious questionas-to how much combined red-tape,abuse and defamation the copshave to take before police efficiencybreaks down utterly.In New York. during that city'sbrief experience with a politicallyimposed civilian review board, anynumber of good cops were at thepoint of throwing up their handand just going through the motions,walking out a pension.

Here in SanFrancisco it tries to strike a balance.- So-called police brutality occursfrom time to time even in SanFrancisco. The term covers everythingfrom a backhand across somebody'sfoul mouth to certain emphasisin shoving an arrestee into apatrol car. Recent complaints, arisingout of that bottle-throwing -incident, would even have the terminclude police resentment at gettinghit with -bottles. -We are getting a little sillyabout restraints placed upon lawenforcement generally. Full andvoluntary confession of murder,even, is no longer any guarantee atall that the guilty one will bepunished.More and more it is the. copwho is put on trial. Did he do thereading-of-rights rigamarole in aclear and intelligible voice? Whenhe found the body in the trunk ofthe car, did he get a search warrantfirst?Add a hoard of civilian inquisitorsto the rest of all this, andyou've added the last straw.

SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN - Page 10 July 1981POA GRIEVANCE VICTORIES BY. BOARD MEMBERSIn recent weeks members of the Board of Directors ofthe Association have been highly successfuI in winninggrievances before Chief Cornelius P. Murphy.In other instances, grievances have been denied bythe Chief and are pending before the Police Commissionawaiting a change in Rule 34 of the Civil ServiceRules.Active Board members in the grievances area havebeen Jim Strange of Headquarters Company, RonParenti of Northern Station, Dan Linehan of SouthernStation, Duane Collins of Tactical, Dave Herman ofPotrero and Gale Wright and Jerry Doherty of the TrafficBureau.Some examples of the results of the grievance processare described below. The grievance procedure is still ahighly beneficial system that allows personnel problemsto be resolved in an expeditious fashion outside thechain of command.Vivian Baptiste and Yvonne Harbor of the PotreroStation were admonished after an Internal Affairs investigationbased upon a citizen's complaint. However,JAB personnel erred in this instance as the officers,with the assistance of Board member Dave Herman,found an Information Bulletin to substantiate theirby Paul Chignell, Vice PresidentDuane CollinsNo photo availableDave HermanNo photo availableRon Parentiposition. The Chief overturned lAB and granted thegrievance.John Fowlie of the Hit and Run Detail filed agrievance to gain back vacation time that was not usedin calendar year 1980. Board member Jerry Doherty,with the assitance of Board member Gale Wright, wereable to get a letter from the Chief that will be helpful atthe Civil Service Commission in regaining the lost vacationtime. The Chief was unable to grant the grievanceat his level due to a lack of authority but 4ue to Doherty'sand Wright's efforts, the Civil Service Commissionshould approve the grievance.sergeant. Board member Ron Parenti handled thegrievance expertly and convinced the Chief, based uponall the circumstances, to overturn Internal Affairs andthe grievance was granted.Ray Koenig of Northern was forced to retire on adisability many years ago and recently re-entered theDepartment after rehabilitation. When he left in 1969he was awaiting appointment to the solo motorcycle- unit. Upon his return he was denied reinstatment to theseniority list. Koenig filed a grievance and with theassistance of Board member Parenti the grievance wasgranted and Koenig was placed at the top of the listwith reassignment to the solos coming at the end of theyear (probationary period).Duane Collins of Tactical and Dan Linehan ofSouthern have been successful at resolving grievancesat their units before the matters reached the level of theChief of Police. In addition, Linehan handled theLionel Hess girevance which concerned reassignment tothe Traffic Bureau and was taken off calendar untilafter the next lieutenant's examination.The grievance process is working well with the hardwork and dedication of POA Board members.Jim StrangeDan LinehanRobert 'Bonnet of the Gang Task Force filed agrievance to gain a position on a specialized unit as hehad not reaffirmed his request for transfer. With theassistance of Board member Jim Strange the extenuatingcircumstances were shown and Chief Murphygranted the grievance placing Bonnet at the top of theseniority list.Cora Oryall and Dave Sowell of the Northern Stationwere admonished by Internal Aff jars recommendationfor booking a prisoner instead of citing her and forallegedly failing to discuss the matter with theirGale WrightJerry DohertyCRITICAL OF SFPOAI recently wrote an article critical of the representationthe P.O.A. provided Officer David Eli who, as youmay know, received a permanent disability while chasinga purse snatcher. The article was, I confess, onlytamely critical of the P.O.A. Tame where it should havebeen indicting! The POA representation affordedheroic officers left disabled as a result of on duty injuriesis shamefully inadequate.I guess one mistake was trying to get such an articleprinted in the POA paper. Silly of me, wasn't it?Needless to say the article was not printed. I was toldthat the article was in poor taste. I have to admit, freelyand in all candor, that I do on occasion lack ,socialgrace. As a matter of record my complete classlessnessis not only legendary, it is historically criminal. Infairness to myself though, any such displays are, as arule, the result of substantial provocation. Here Ishould add that these displays are not compounded byremorse.I digress, leave us get back to the point. It must behere somewhere. Oh yes, it's my tasteless article. Islammed the POA. In this case the POA deserves it. Inreturn my article was slammed and this I find to be outsidethe rules of the game. Practical yes, fair no.On that note I must conclude that NOT having myarticle appear in the POLICEMAN is the ULTIMATECOMPLIMENT'. A compliment which will undoubtedlybe repeated.Ed CollinsDear Ed:Contraiy to your belief, as I personally conveyed toyou, the article you recently submitted for publicationwas not printed because the Editor concluded that itlacked all social grace - as you have so stated - notbecause you were critical of the POA.As a member of the Association you are entitled andencouraged to submit articles for publication in yournewspaper, however, the content of your material mustbe suitable for publication.

At the request of several police officers, "SearchWarrants" is reprinted.The article this month deals with search warrants.Search warrants are used on a daily basis by the NarcoticsBureau and are often used by other members ofthe Bureau. However, there is no reason why the patrolforce could not make better use of search warrants.While some officers are skilled enough to prepare theaffidavit in support of the warrant, it is preferable tohave a deputy district attorney do it. In any case, adeputy district attorney should always be consultedwith so he can review the facts to determine if a warrantwill lie. I can be reached during office hours at553-1210.A Search Warrant i:1. An order in wnting2. In the name of the People3. Signed by a magistrate4. Directed to a peace officer5.

SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN - Page 14 July 1981The citizens of San Francisco finally won a battleagainst a career criminal on June 8, 1981. DefendantJerry C. Davis, 24 year old ex-con decided to skip a jurytrial set for June 15, 1981 and plead to all eight felonycounts against him. Sup. Judge Thomas Dandurandsentenced Jerry Davis to a heavy sentence of 16 yearsand 8 months to State Prison for the attempted robberyand shotgun beating of 84 year old Rosario Lopez, whoDavis beat with a sawed off shot gun and kicked-brepeatedly on March 19, 1981 when Davis posed as asecurity guard and was let in to the unsuspecting lady'shome. Mrs. Lopez was with an 18 year old girl who wasa live-in companion of the 84 year old victim.Davis walked in and immediately pulled out a 12gauge shotgun and put the barrel to the mouth of the 18year old and then knocked her to the floor of the frontroom of the home at 544 Funston Avenue. The 84 yearold then began to scream and he knocked her down andshe continued yelling. He then, in the presence of the 18year old on the floor, hit the old woman's back with theshotgun and kicked her until she became unconscious.Institutional Services, Inc. of Redwood City has beencontracted to do a yearbook for the San FranciscoPolice Department.

The young girl thoughtshe was going to be raped at this point so she got all hercourage and while the defendant was in the back of thehome, she got up and ran as fast as her young legscould carry her. She screamed on the street, running toBalboa Street. She fell into a man's arms and she sawthe suspect walk from the home, running to GoldenGate Park where he disappeared.Mrs. Lopez was taken to S.F.

Ishowed photos to the 18 year old victim, no ID, the 84year old could ID no one. So, I had an idea to callParole Officer Dick Bandettini. Luckily, Bandettiniknew Davis. He was HIS PAROLEE, knew that heworked in a day care center at 1736 Page Street. I askedfor a recent photo of Davis, showed it again to the 18year old, NO ID. So I decided to bring Bandettini withme and question Davis to see how he acted. Since Daviswas on parole, Bandettini had authority to search hispremises. After one hour I told Bandettini to haveDavis booked e/r Parole. I still did not have enough,but I was going to put Davis in a live show up and bringthe 18 year old victim in. Davis agreed, peacefully.Bandettini walked with him to Davis' room andsomehow, Davis had concealed a small sawed offshotgun under a hospital bed wrapped in a towel. Daviswent for the gun, I was in the kitchen gathering someevidence and heard Bandettini cry for help.I confronted Davis three different times at the doorwaymaking a target of myself hoping Davis wouldstand with his shotgun and give me a shot with my 38cal. He never gave me a shot, he was kneeling behindBandettini with the shotgun at Bandettini's head andthen pointing at me. Finally, after 3% hours Davis gaveup. We booked him 236PC, 245aPC, 12021PC, 459PC664/221PC. 245bPC, 417bPC, 664/187PC. After an allday prelim hearing on April 10, 1981, with Asst. DAChiantelli of Career Criminal doing a fine job, we gotDavis held on all eight charges.Oh, we GOT A BONUS. The 18 year old victimmade a court I.D. But on June 8, 1981 Davis changedhis plead to GUILTY and Judge Thomas Dandurandreally handed down a sentence that I "could live with",16 years 8 months. To be officially sentenced on July 6,1981 in Dept. #26, new court. I called all the children ofRosario Lopez that night. For once I was pleased to givethem the Judge's sentence. But Mrs. Lopez will neverbe the same. She has amnesia and gets dizzy from thetrauma of the beating. I am told Jerry Davis will do aminimum of 12 years in State Prison, even with goodbehavior.NEIL'S GROCERIES2203 GENEVASAN FRANCISCO 94134 585-4541Liquors - Beer - WineDelicatessen8AM-12PMFriday & Sat. 8AM -2 AMGuadalajarade Noche2981 -24th St.San Francisco 94110647-98754031 JJaIoa cSan Jrancisco- W1 Jltàjor Greo/ Cart/sDoris'SHEAR MAGICBeauty SalonAngela KimFor Men and Women4615 Geary Blvd. (between 10th & 11th Ave.)San Francisco, CA 94118 (415) 387-6363TELEPHONES (415) 285-4562(415) 285-4797FREE ESTIMATESImpethxL tuto 1,aintin'PALACE OF INFRA-RED BAKED ENAMEL"EXPERT BODY AND FENDER REPAIRS3135 - 24TH STREETBET, SO.

THEJUDICIARYSan Francisco Police Officers' Assn.Dear Sir:The judiciary has given the criminal and the schoolrowdyevery constitutional advantage and a few more,at the same time curbing the traditional powers of ourpolice and school administrators. The scales of justicehave been tilted much too far in favor of the criminaland school-bully, and so the criminal and the schoolbullyare winning the war over our police and ourschools.The courts are not interested in swift justice but inplaying games with technicalities. The courts are notinterested in whether the criminal is guilty but whetherthe police abused the criminal's 'newly enhancedrights'.The judiciary is the only branch of governmentoperating outside the control of the people. The peoplemust gain control of the judiciary in which they can votefor judges, including and especially the judges of theU.S. Supreme Court and our state Supreme Courts.Lifetime appointment of judges in which the peoplehave no control must be discontinued as soon as we canchange the constitution. Lifetime appointment ofjudges is freedom's Achilles heel.Liberal judges use phrases like the Communists, inthat the more they liberate us with their liberal rulings,the more freedom they take from us. In many areaswhere we always had a choice, now the active liberaljudges make the rulings for us and we do it their way orgo to jail. The judges are doing our thinking for us andgradually we lose our freedom as we are being rules,more •and more; by judicial tyranny, a form oftotalitarianism. A manby the name of Ronald Reaganmay have been prophetic when he said, "Iftotalitarianism ever comes to the United States it willcome in the name of liberalism."THE COURTS ARE THE CULPRIT.A plea for freedom and justice,Jesse C.

InstallationDinner. When I say embarrassed, I amspeaking in terms of being embarrassed for the people(our elected station, detail and bureau reps) who werenot even shown the common courtesy of having theirnames mentioned. After all these are the people whomake the P.O.A. what it is today. These are the samepeople who attempt to obtain better benefits and workingconditions for the officers they represent. As this articlegoes on you will find that no names are mentioneduntil the end. Those names listed are the names of theofficers who were not mentioned at the dinner. Thesepeople deserve to be mentioned.I strongly believe that the M.C. could have spent histime up at the podium introducing members of ourDEPARTMENT, and what they have accomplished,rather than informing us who was going where on hisnext vacation, or who his very, very close friends were.The M.C. certainly did have a lot of close frIends. Imust make myself very clear on this next point. Therewere many people in attendance who had their namesmentioned, and some of these people, without saying,have nothing but respect from the officers of ourdepartment. However, some of the other people mentionedwere there for only one purpose. This purposecan be summed up in one word, "POLITICS". I know,and without reservation can say, "We know", whothese people were.This year, as in the past, I had my mind made upthat my wife and I would not attend, mainly due to thepolitics that are involved each year, but as usual I attendedanyway, looking forward to seeing many friendsWe received a letter recently signed by 30 people.

I reallydon't put the blame on any one individual for what occurred(there is a strong possibility that some nameswere given at the last minute). In fact, the occasion, asa whole, was very well planned except for that portionthat I have criticized above in this article.I speak for myself, but believe that many other peoplein attendance share my feelings on what I havestated above. I hope I get the point across. Better planningshould go into the Installation of Officers. Look atit this way, two years from now, maybe the only peoplewho will be in attendance will be the ones that wererecognized this time around (most of them left shortlyafterwards). It would be a shame to spend money onentertainment, and have no one there to enjoy it.Now to get down to why I really wrote this article.Let's give credit where credit is due.

SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN - Page 20 July 1981The Bird Court: How Liberal Is It?Reprinted from The California Journal by Kenneth Kahn• A criminal case pivoting on the legality of policesearch methods has been appealed to the state SupremeCourt. Question:Based on previous cases, how are theseven justices apt to rule? Answer: Probably for thedefendant, with the key vote cast by Justice MathewTobriner.The Supreme Court is deciding a claim by a citizenwho is trying to collect damages from a city which theindividual alleges was negligent. Question: Is the courtapt to rule for the citizen or the government? Answer:The odds are heavily in favor of the citizen.The court is attempting to decide a civil conflict betweenan employer and an employee involving unsafeworking conditions. Question: Will the court backmanagement or labor? Answer: The worker will probablywin.These conclusions about probable actions by thestate Supreme Court are drawn from an analysis of thedecisions handed down by the Bird Supreme Court.The analysis covers cases deQided since 1977, whenGovernor Jerry Brown made three appointments to thecourt - Chief Justice Rose Elizabeth Bird and JusticesWiley Manuel and Frank C. Newman. The statisticsare based only on cases in which at least two justicesdissented from the majority opinion. And the numbersproduced some interesting findings:• Chief Justice Bird is not the most "liberal" memberof the court. Her old law professor, Newman, votesmore consistently for defendants, workers, consumersand plaintiffs in negligence cases than the chief justice.• Two of the so-called "liberal" justices, the veteransMathew Tobriner and Stanley Mosk, cannot becounted as sure liberal votes on some types of issues.• If either Mosk or Tobriner defects to the cónservativeside, chances are the liberals will be outvoted onany specific case.• Tobriner can be considered the swing vote on thebench; statistics indicate he is rarely on the losing side.• Manuel, who died last month, was a former executivein the attorney general's office before his firstappointment to the Alameda County Superior Court byBrown He had a pqrcentage record almost identical toMosk's in votes on negligence cases, but they nearlyalways took oppothte positions. l'his means that one ofthem usually 'formed a majority with Bird, Tobrinerand Newman.The Newman DifferenceNewman, who voted the liberal line in more than 90percent of the cases in all categories, was second toTobriner in the percentage of time with the majority.One reason is that Newman joined the bench in Januaryof 1978, and his percentage figures are distorted,somewhat by the fact that he did not participate in asmany cases as the others.Newman's arrival on the court made a significant differencein the outcome of cases. In the months prior tohis arrival, the Bird court handed down conservativedecisions in non-unanimous cases about half the time.With Newman, liberal judgments have been rendered77 percent of the time. Bird and Newman usually votetogether to form a liberal anchor, with Frank Richardsonand William P. Clark Jr. doing precisely the samething at the other end of the judicial specturm.Stanley Mosk, •a former attorney general appointedby former Governor Edmund G. Brown Sr., votes withthe majority three-quarters of the time. He is consideredone of the more creative justices in the countryand he pioneered the concept of "independent stategrounds," allowing the court to ignore United StatesSupreme Court 4ecisions and go its own way. (Moskclaims the federal and state constitutions serve differentpurposes, and therefore similar issues can be decideddifferent ways by the federal and state judiciaries.)Mosk's voting record can vary dramatically, dependingupon the issue. Only Newman votes with consumersmore often than Mosk. But in other civil casesinvolvingbusiness, he is just as apt to vote for a corporation asan individual.The Swing VotesIt is thus impossible to develop a single liberal or conservativeprofile for the entire court. It is true thatNewman and Bird were liberal on all issues and thatClark and Richardson were just as conservative. Butthe swing voters - Manuel, Mosk and Tobriner -were not nearly as consistent. Look at how the courtreacted in six different situations.• Criminal cases involving constitutional questions,such as search and seizure of the death penalty. Bird,Newman and Mosk could be counted to vote for thedefendant almost all of the time. Tobriner joined themthree-quarters of the time, building a four vote majority.When Tobriner went over to the prosecution, heusually formed a conserative bloc with Clark, Richardsonand Manuel.• Criminal cases involving miscellaneous issues, suchas evidence questions, the rights of the mentally andsexually disturbed, trial by jury and prisoner rights.Bird and Newman voted consistently for the defendant.The key votes were cast by Mosk and Tobriner, whovoted for the defendant 75 percent of the time. Yet,they often disagreed. And when one of them voted withClark and Richardson, Manuel' usually provided thefourth vote for a majority.• Civil cases involving injury or liability. The court asa whole ruled in favor of the plaintiff in 14 out of 15cases. The reason is that Newman, Bird and Tobrinertook the liberal line almost all of the time. They wereinvariably joined by either Mosk or Manuel, withRichardson bolting from Clark on occasion.• Civil cases with constitutional issues such asfreedom of religion, freedom of theY press, privacy orequal protection under the law. Clark and Richardsonposted 100 percent conservative ratings in these cases,and they were joined by Manuel most of the time. Inessence, the court swung with Mosk, who joined theliberal group of Newman, Bird and Tobriner two-thirdsof the time.• Consumer-versus-business cases. Tobriner was thekey in these cases. He voted with the majority in all butone case, and the court went with business on the threeoccasions that Tobriner did. Clark and Richardsonvoted against consumers in every instance. These casesinvolved such subjects as price fixing, usury and consumerfraud.• Labor-versus-management cases. Labor has threestalwarts on the court in Bird, Newman and Tobriner.The other justices, especially Mosk, join them oftenenough to give workers a victory in more than fourfifthsof the cases. The issues involve workers' compensations,bargaining rights, and due process for dismissedemployees.Overall, if someone is trying to predict the outcomeof a case during oral argument before the court, the keywords are: Watch Tobriner.• ,". . .

Never has the problem of street crime been as bad asit is today. In the month of June, there were 220 robberies in area "B". I haveseen local residents and tourists beaten, robbed, raped and even murdered.Yesterday, I found two Swedish tourists walking in front of the "PinkPalace" at Turk and Webster Streets. They were led there by this map I amenclosing. I have marked area "B" and the "Pink Palace". There is also amay showing the robbery patterns in area "B" during the month of June.Several officers from my unit have tried to get the San Francisco Conventionand Visitors Bureau to discourage tourists from going into the area.They refuse to do so and I understand some of their reasoning, but this mapleads the poor unsuspecting foreigner right into the wolves' den; it is actiallyproviding the thugs of the neighborhood with victims. Then I have to spendall my time trying to get to the victims before they become another dot on ourarea crime map.There are literally hundreds of Victorians west of the area in. theHaight/Ashbury that would provide an equally picturesque walk withoutleading our tourists through this high-crime area.All the men and women of the Tactical Division would appreciate anythingyou could do to help us in this uphill battle against crime.Very truly yours,Duane C.

The Inspector steppedbetween the combatants, grabbed the suspect'sarm and in its downward thrust, and after a brief struggle,disarmed and arrested the suspect.

The officer, disregarding his own safety,responded to the third floor and to the woman's apartmentand called out to her but there was no answer. Atthat moment an intense blast of smoke forced the officerto leve the building gagging from smoke inhalation.The body of the elderly woman was laterdiscovered on the inside stairway where she had apparentlyran into the fire and perished.

With theassemblage of the 97th Congress early this year, it's agood time to look back and see what the IUPA did inpast years, and where we're headed now.• Public Employee Retirement Income Security Act(PERISA). Congressional task force report was finished,and a bill introduced. IUPA testified. Goodchances in the 97th.• Public Employee Unemployment Compensation.The challenge to coverage for state and local employeeswas dumped, as the Supreme Court recently upheld theconstitutionality of the . provision.

PED and IUPA supportedpassage of a reform bill to provide, for-the firsttime ever, a basis for collective bargaining for federalemployees. IUPA sees this as a.compromise, but a majorstep forward, nevertheless.• Secret Service Pay . Bill (H.R.. 7782). UnifOrmedSecret Service officers will be getting the same cost ofliving increases as other federal employees thanks toIUPA legislative efforts Earlier similar legislation waspassed for the U S Park Police Both bills were introduced by Representative Leo Zeferretti (D N Y)•.Collective Bargaining a recent Leagtie of Citiescase, denying the power of Congress to apply the FairLabor Standards Act to state and local employees, wascarefully studied by the PED. The AFL-CTObelieves acollective bargaining bill could be legally enacted butCongressional support has been inadequate• A Bill - H.R. 777 - for collective bargaining,died in the 96th Congress because of opposition by theLeague of Cities. A recent Supreme Court refusal toissue a writ in a related case, however, suggests thatbargaining legislation Would be constitutional.Michel and Catherine BlanchardLø CasteiP3235 Sacramento San Francisco 921-7115• Proposition 13-type Legislation. Stiff a major concern.In Massachusetts, where a tax cut propositionwas passed in October,major public service cuts will bemade. The loss is estimated at $600 million. Similarproposals were defeated in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon,South Dakota and Utah.GUN CONTROLPOLICE SURVEY SAYS NOA recent survey of police attitudes on gun control hasfound overwhelming opposition to state and localfirearms laws, while at the same time suggesting thatthe nation would derive little or no benefit fromstronger Federal gun legislation.The survey, which was run by Law EnforcementNews, sampled reader attitudes on five general gunrelatedquestions, including the effectiveness of stateand local statutes, the constitutionality of gun controllaws, the possible benefits of Federal laws and thedesirability of handgun and rifle registration.In a resounding barrage of 'no' votes,that crossed all political, occupational and geographiclines, more than three-quarters of those responding, or78.2%, stated that local and state gun ordinances donot help to reduc& crime. The negative reaction waseven stronger among those who identified themselves aslaw enforcement professionals, with responses rangingfrom an 82.4% ineffectiveness rating from line officersto an 86.7% vote of no from 'police executives. Eighty-- five percent of the supervisory personnel respondingsaid such local laws 'had no effect in reducing crime.While the flood of negative sentiment may have beena consequence of perceived ineffectiveness of the existingpatchwork of widely varying state and localstatutes, the notion backfires in the face of the similarlyskeptical attitude toward stronger Federal firearmlegislation. Over half of those responding said the nationwould not benefit from more stringent Federal controls,and an additional 15% indicated that there wOuldbe only limited benefits as a result of such action. Only27% saw the country benefiting greatly from nationwidegun control.Proponents of firearms control measures can takeonly small consolation from the results of a question onthe constitutionality of gun control. By a margin of 3-2,respondents conceded the constitutional legitimacy offirearms legislation, with most of the favorable votescoming from those who described their politicalphilosophy as moderate or liberal.The city of San Francisco is going to have to make animportant choice soon. The people who try to run thecity must decide if providing work for ex-cons is moreimportant than public safety. In most cities, therewouldn't be any doubt about that choice. In San Francisco,there seems to be nothing but confusion.The. Youth Guidance Center hired an ex-con as acounselor for the young people there. He was aregistered sex offender who had served time for rapeand kidnapping. He was recently arrested on new sexcharges involving juveniles at the Center.The Sheriff's Department hired two ex-cons to workin the prisoner services area. One had served time forrape, robbery and kidnappingL He was recently convictedof rape and will be tried on a second rape chargesoon.The other ex-con had a long record of drug-relatedarrests. He was recently arrested and charged withseveral crimes, including possession of drugs for sale.Muni has hired several ex-cons as drivers. They hadserved time for a variety of crimes. I the past year,some of them have made headlines for actions involvingthe public.We realize it's not easy for ex-cons to find jobs. Wesee no objection to their being hired by the city. But cityofficials do have an obligation to protect the safety ofthe public. We don't think ex-cons who represent a realdanger to the public should be hired by the city; nor dowe think that those who might represent a dangershould be put in jobs where they deal with the public.There has to be better screening of ex-cons for city jobsbecause public safety demands it.What do you think?Arowd The ClockTOW SERVICE COURTESY752 296O1934 Clement San Francisco 94121F.

U NIF 0 R1'ISbyRobert M. SwallDirector, Co. AHere, I will not address the problem of having to wait weeks for new uniforms oralterations from Herb's Uniform Co. This atrocity has been a well-known fact for along time now, and it is not getting any better. Their attitude seems to be a little moreamiable, but this stiil doesn't get you any uniforms or alterations in a reasonableamount of time.The most blatant problem in my opinion, is the quality of the uniforms that we arewearing. The uniform shirts are so thin that you can see through them. They serve noreal purpose except for decoration. Some sort of other shirt has to be wornunderneath the uniform shirt to keep you warm because the uniform shirt is not functional.The uniform pants aren't much better. If you look at the uniform pants of anyofficer working on the street, you will probably see visible and unsightly patchwork onthe rear pockets.I've seen the uniforms of various police departments around the Bay Area, and theSan Francisco police uniforms are by far the worst that I have seen. Money should notreally be a factor since it would cost the city less money if police officers would nothave to constantly be reissued new uniforms because the old ones were worn out.Something has to be done before the department starts to issue us paper macheuniforms.SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN - Page 25July 1981Bad shotcostsco p a b u n d I e Reprinted S.F.

The results of the investigation recommended that tighter procedures be f ormulatedfor JAB handling of alledged police brutality and found most of the allegationsof JAB coverups of police brutality to be without foundation. Notwithstanding,Chief Murphy and the Mayor are pursuing means of having tighter audit control onall such charges in cooperation with the Police Commission, whose duty it is tooversee the police department and its operations.When we get down to the nitty gritty of police brutality, it is usually a claim madeby persons charged with major crimes. Unfortunately, it is not usually possible to getan armed robber, a mugger, or rapist or other perpetrator of felonies, especiallyviolent ones, to quietly put out his hands for the handcuffs and be obediently lcd offfor booking. 'In real life most of these people resist quite violently. The police have littlechoice but to use as much force as is necessary to subdue them and make the arrest.Perhaps at times they may use more than the minimallynecessary amount, butthat is usually determined by hindsight. And when you come down to it, how many ofour decent citizens feel that the police officer should unnecessarily expose himself tophysical injury, or even death by being overly kind and considerate of the suspectedcriminal especially when surrounded by a hostile mob that is trying to prevent the arrest?I know there are those who claim that "honest" citizens have been subjected topolice brutality. If people are drunk or under the influence of drugs and theirbehavior is violent or abusive toward the officers who stop them, there is bound to bea physical confrontation and who gets blamed? The officer who is doing his duty trying,by exposing his life to constant danger, to keep our community safe for our per-Sons and our property.Ed Pryal's destruction derby car 'The tremendous emotional strain that police officers work under, the constant exposureto violence and death, the physical abuse they receive time after time in makingarrests, the frustrations of seeing absolute criminals they have arrested turnedback on the streets for the most petty of legal technicalities by appellate courts whodon't give a dathn if the arrested person in fact did commit a murder or any otherfelony, but are solely concerned with whether the officers in those tense momentspracticed more law than the average attorney is expected to know and observed thelatest technical decisions. So, some officers, being ordinary mortals just as you and I,sometimes over-react to the verbal and physical abuse of the arrested, person. If thereare some officers who reach the point that they cannot cope and repeated indicationscome to the attention of the , JAB they are empowered and do take action to suspend oreven permanently relieye such men of their duty.I believe we have an obligation to these men who have served us and have beenbroken emotionally by the strain. They should not be thrown out of their jobs. Ibelieve the JAB would act more rapidly and the public would be better served to havethem reassigned to other types of police duty where they do not have to have the kindsof confrontations that caused their over-reaction.Under Chief Cornelius Murphy we have seen a rapid resurgence of morale in ourpolice department, a substantial increase in arrests, and more importantly, arrestswhich stand up in court so that our District Attorney, Arlo Smith, is able to maintainthe highest rate of convictions in jury trials of any county in the entire state.Let us fight this knee-jerk attempt by radical elements to discredit our police force.Support the Chief, his department and the Mayor as they implement the improvementsthat they have determined on from the impartial study conducted undertheir orders. Every one of you who is tired of having the city turned over to the muggers,hoodlums, dopers and other criminal elements should be just as active in yoursupport of your police department as the radical element are to destroy it. WRITE theMayor, WRITE your Supervisors telling them HANDS OFF OUR POLICEDEPARTMENT; Write Chief Murphy in support of your police who are doing thebest job they can for you.

More people than ever before,cops included, got into the act.- In a race such as this, with a reputation for unusualentrants and running styles, some of our brothersweren't shy about entering the spirit of the affair. BarryJ4ihnson, Robbery, and his wife Sue were an unusualentry. Barry ran while pushing Sue in a wheel chair.She broke her ankle two days prior, but was determinednot to miss the race which she had trained so hard for.Jerry "Golf Club" Cassidy, Solo, crossed the finishline on his new Kawasaki just ahead of the winner CraigVirgin. He rolled up to the table that issued the T-shirtsand asked what one had to do to get a shirt. With an"I'll show this cop" smile, the woman answered, "Youhave to cross the finish line with an official number".At this Jerry unzipped his leather jacket and displayedan official race number pinned to his uniform shirt.The number had been issued to his son Chris who wasunable to make it at the last minute. He received his T-shirt. Say Jerry, could I run around a golf course andqualify for one of those neat prizes that golfers arealways receiving?Also picking up their T-shirts at the finish line werePaul Schneider and John Wydler, Robbery; HermanClark and Howard Bailey, Homicide; Art Gerrans,Vice; John Hennessey, Operations Center; 'LloydCunningham, Fraud; Mike Shubin, Morgan Peterson,and Tom Eisenmann, Juvenile; Jerry Evans, Burglary;Joe Currie and Cathy McKulsky, Academy; DougMitchell and Dave Herrera, Co.

First ofcourse is who leaked the report? We might get someidea of exactly what their motive was if we knew theiridentity. I wonder also how aggressively this blatantviolation of the named officers' rights will be investigated?Was the leak designed to jeopardize futureprosecutions before the Police Commission?I wonder if the American Civil Liberties Union,which was so eager to see the department's reportreleased, will initiate its own investigation?I wonder if a new Task Force will be created to drawup policies and procedures regarding the release of informationprotected by state law?1 wonder what would happen if I walked in and lodgeda complaint with the Citizen's Assitance Centerregarding the poor protection given to peace officers'rights and reputation? --Exams continuedtable controversy over the criteria to be used for futurelike work/like pay lieutenant's appointments, it is clearthat this issue must and will be reopened.Consideration should be given to the only groupadversely affected by the Consent Decree (pre 1976sergeants) and to protecting promotional rights of presentpolice officers.,1'ii'7'W,9'n "You sure you want to catch this guy?!"SIREN!Real BrasS Bucklesif3084-17th Street . 18 b 20 UNION SQUARE ST.San Francisco UNION CITY, CAPhone 552-2080 4893174Pete Salazar 10% Discount to Policeman - Show BadgeIr;;;FR';lN -YES...I would like to subscribe/renew to the SFPOA'sofficial publication THE SAN FRANCISCOI POLICEMAN.
