The InternalRevenue Service takes a position that since theminimum industrial disability retirement is 50% that atleast that amount is attributable to disability.Since you did not indicate in your letter what retirementpercentage you are receiving it is impossible forme to determine what portion of it should be subject to.taxation-and what portion is not-subject to taxation.I am aware of no decision, revenue ruling, code section,or decisions which indicates that once you reachthe age of 65 that all of your pension should , be treatedas ordinary income and is fully taxable.Please be advised that this area of law is complex andis subject to interpretation.

In many cities this feeling hasbeen reinforced by recent police actions that membersof the minority communities viewed as unjust."Whethef they are right or wrong about whatelected to governing positions at city, hall. Nevertheless, extensive demonstrations demanding a change in policeunease is apparently rising again.

Barry, once a leader ofincidents, an increase of 13 percent, that could have black protest, is mayor,,bystanders cheered a suspecteddrug dealer who shot a policeman to death on a streetcorner. . .Cities have long had trouble recruiting black policeofficers because, as Nick Trenticosta, a communityorganizer in New Orleans said, "People feel the policeforce Is racist whether officers are black or white."Nevertheless, they have had some success. In Chicago,23 percent of the police force Is black; in Philadelphia19 percent, In Memphis 18 percent, in Baltimore 17. percent, in Detroit 62 percent and <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> 14•percent.Yet in some cities black recruitment has slipped. InTampa, only 19 of 559 sworn officers are black, fewerthan were on the force during the 1967 riot in that city.New Orleans, with a Hispanic population of 120,000,reports that it has been unable to recruit a alngleofficer who speaks Spanish. And in some citiescommunity leaders say minority police officers do notmake much difference in behavior."Regardless of color, putting on a . badge doessomething to a person," said the Rev. Willie F. Wilsonof Washington. "It makes it difficult to distinguish whohe is from what he is."Many cities still do not have civilian review boardsfor disciplining police, and the community relationsdepartments set up in police departments have in manyincidents - in Miami, for example - been ineffective.A few weeks ago, a national conference of blackand Hispanic leaders was held in Washington to try toreach a better understanding on police procedures.

Whatthey actually deserve is immediate deportation, for suchunrestricted immigration puts a serious strain on oureconomy and increases our already high rate ofunemployment.People of the Third World often accuse tlTh U.S. ofbeing a "have" nation, as if the wealth of American hadbeen handed to us on a silver platter.The reason our country is a rich one is because ourpeople have worked long and hard to make it so.

Well, the Arabs charge more than $30.00 abarrel for oil that ,costs less than $1.00 to pump, SouthAmerican coffee producers have formed a cartel to"stabilize" i.e. fix, coffee prices, billions of dollars aretaken from, the U.S. middle class and used to supplyweapons and luxuries to foreign dictators. Who's beingexploited?If the people of the Third World want to become"haves" they can make the same effort we did, insteadof using the U.S. as a scapegoat.It's about time someone spoke up and put the blamefor Third World countries' lack of progress where itbelongs: on their own shoulders, because of their ownindolence and incompetence.We owe them nothing.tallDOWNTOWNSAN FRANCISCOHEALTH CLUB<strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> Turkish Baths. ...Established 1911Open - Every Day - 24 HrsExclusively For MenNo Membership Required.EXPERT MASSEUR ON DUTYMa REFRESHING, NATURAL ATMOSPHERE' LOW.

4Criminal offenses are generally divided into twocategories: Misdemeanors and felonies. A misdemeanoris loosely defined as a criminal offense thepunishment of which does not exceed one year in thecounty jail. A felony, on the other hand, is a criminaloffense the punishment of which may result in confinementin the state prison or in a county jail in excess ofone year. Felonies may further be broken down intosocalled"wobblers". A "wobbler" is a felony offensewhich may result in a state prison commitment or incounty jail; in other words, depending on the sentencecertain offenses can be either felonies or misdemeanors.Burglaries and grand theft from the-person are such examples.When an arrest is effectuated for a "wobr",felony, the suspect is booked on a felony charge, our officemakes the decision to proceed on the felony orreduce it to a misdemeanor..The .38 caliber revolver you have just removed from" under the seat of the driver with the heavy foot comesback stolen. Accordingly, you arrest the driver on12025PC (misdemeanor), 12031PC (misdemeanor) andpossessing stolen property, a violation of section 496.1of the Penal Code. Section 496.1 can be either a felonyor misdemeanor, that is, it is a "wobbler". You, as the- arresting officer, arrest the defendant on 496.1, a-felony.All felony arrests are forwarded to the Bureau of Inspectorsfor investigation The Bureau is divided intoareas of specialization.

Our office isroughly divided into those deputies who handle misdemeanoroffenses and those who handle felonies. Thefelony section, like the Bureau, is further divided into"teams". There are deputies who handle fraud cases,burglary, robbery and assault, and those who handlehomicides and sexual assaults. -La QuicheFrench RestaurantLunch and Dinner550 Taylor StreetBetween Post and Geary<strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong>441-2711SPEEDYTOW SERVICE3420-l8thStreet-<strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> 94110552-6860 -New Jackson CafeChinese - AmericanLunch & Dinner40 Jackson Phone 986-971An <strong>Francisco</strong> 94133 982-240AN ^ANC!IkO^POLICEMAN Page9 <strong>June</strong> <strong>1980</strong>AFTER THE FELONY ARREST- by William Louis FazioAssistant District AttorneyThe inspector and deputy both concur that the case 12031 misdemeanors.

TEL 821-3037Lord" Numbers 11:1I read recently about a couple of boys that are typicalof two kinds of people in our world today. While eatingsome grapes, one of the lads remarked, "Aren't theysweet?" "I guess 50," the other replied, "but they'refull of seeds." Wandering into a garden, one of themexclaimed, "Look at those big, beautiful red roses!"The other commented, "They're full of thorns!': It wasa warm day, so they stopped at the store for a softdrink. After several swallows, the one youngster complained,"My bottle's half-empty already." The otherquickly responded, "Mine's still half-full!"• Many folks resemble the negative-thinking boy inthis story. Everything seems dim to them because theyare always looking at life through dark glasses. Like thechildren of Israel in today's Scripture, they complain..A ..S.. ..lI1 t.. ToiIu iuiuuic wiacn uicy sijouju tic piisnig inc Lord turHis gracious provision for their needs. But thank God,not everyone is like that. There are beautiful souls whoconcentrate on the bright side of things and are radiant,happy, and grateful. They are realistic- and are •aware of the somber side of life, but they don't pout andfret.You can be like that. No matter who you are or whatyour circumstances may be, there's always much to begrateful for. Not everything is bad. So dwell upon thegood Think about God's love for you.Thank Him forHis providential care. Then, rather than beingbothered by the seeds, you'll enjoy the grapes. And, insteadof complaining about the thorns, you'll bethankful for the roses. THOT: Don't grumble becauseyou don't have what you want; be thankful you don'tget what you deserve.All our "Cops for Christ" meetings are on the thirdTuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. at the ChurchHall, 2525 Alemany.

POLICE & FIREFIGHTERS DERBYOn Sunday, April 27th the demolition derby crew ofSgt. Bill "Mad Dog" Mott (Co. D), Sgt. Ed "BabyShoes" Pryal (Co. K), Gary "The Engineer" Wise(formerly of the SFPD Co. K AIB and son of InspectorClarence Wise) and Ken "Mr. CIA" Manley (son tfformer Inspector Ken Manley and brother of OfficerMike Manley) took a 1st place in their heat at the 3rdAnnual <strong>Police</strong> & Firefighters Destruction Derby held atthe <strong>San</strong>ta Clara County Fairgrounds.The event, which was witnessed by more than 5,000spectators and representatives of approximately 35police, sheriff, firefighter and CHP officers fromthroughout the state, compete in this wild, furious andat times, teeth-rattling event. The various agenciesentered more than 70 cars in various states of repairand appearance.Your SFPD crew rebuilt and remodeled a '74 Ply. tolook like (and probably drive better than) the units wenow have on the street - a black and white, that is.Above is SFPD vehicle #15 before and after the competition.Note the "slight" changes in appearance. Thetired but happy crew from L to R are Ken Manley, EdPryal, Bill Mott and Gary Wise. Also, Ed Pryal receivinga victory embrace from the Derby Qeen (phototaken by wife Donna Pryal).Derbys such as this one in <strong>San</strong> Jose involvingprimarily law enforcement agencies are becoming moreand more popular throughout the state; First begun inPlacerville (Hangtown) 7 years ago, they are now beingconducted annually in Placerville, Roseville, <strong>San</strong>taRosa and <strong>San</strong> Jose. <strong>Officers</strong> from as far south as LosAngeles, Beverly Hills and Culver City to as fir north asShasta County agencies enter vehicles representingtheir departments in this unique form of "friendly","good-natured" competition. All of the work and mostof the expense is borne by the officers in their off-dutyhours. In the past for the S.F. units, however, someassistance has been given by the S.F. <strong>Police</strong> AthleticClub as well as the S.F.P.O.A.It should be noted that during this year's event in <strong>San</strong>Jose there was simultaneously a "Low Rider" vehicledisplay being conducted at the other end of 'thefairgrounds. A "cordial" invitation was offered to thisgroup to enter our competition. (The purpose being, ofcourse, to establish a more meaningful raport with thevarious divergent elements of our community.)

NollWHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A WILLA will is probably the most important legal instrumentany person can execute during their lifetime.Generally a will is a document,prepared in accordancewith legal requirements, in which an individualspecifies how his or her assets should be distributedafter death.A will must comply with the law. For example, toguard against mistakes, most areas have statutes requiringa will to executed according to a rigid formalprocedure involving signature, witnesses, etc. Thedocument may be changed to meet new situations atany time the individual wishes, provided the alterationsalso meet legal requirements. A will has no legal forcewhatever so far as the assets mentioned in it are concernedwhile its maker or testator is alive. It becomeseffective only upon the maker's death.Serious complications can arise from the lack of aproperly drawn will—regardless of the amount (or lackof) assets or property one owns! If one dies intestate(without a will) the area law applies and will direct howyour property should be distributed.Countless instances crop up all the time illustratinghow the real wishes of an individual are not carried outafter death because the task of apportioning possessionsis left to the courts. This is true even for communityproperty states, such as our own California.Clearly a properly drawn will is the safest assurancethat the assets ac&imulated during one's lifetime willbe distributed after death as desired. Strictly speaking,a lawyer should prepare the will to ensure that it meetsall legal requirements. Handwritten, or holographicwills, frequently are imprecise and may wind up incourts where they can be ruled invalid. The minor feescharged for a will is completely worth the peace of mindknowing that it is a valid document. Consult with alawyer, they are happy to give you their prices and willtell you what papers, documents, etc., you need to havepresent when drawing up a will.The beneficiary arrangements you have in your lifeinsurance policies must correspond with the provisionsof the will. In fact, most beneficiary arrangements areout-of-date-and have not been revised by many policyowners. If you have any doubt of who your beneficiariesare (with New York Life) please give me call and I willverify the data for yaji.Remember "Where there's a will there's peace ofmind".John B.
