SAN FRANCISCO ( KRON ) — A San Francisco police officer who witnessed his son throw a punch at a man during a heated interaction did not disclose that the assault occurred, according to a recently released report from the San Francisco Department of Police Accountability (DPA). The officer was found to have violated several department policies throughout the incident.
The San Francisco Police Department officer was accused in the June 5, 2024, complaint of behaving inappropriately, failing to activate his body-worn camera, filing an incomplete incident report, failing to provide his name and badge number and failing to take “required action.” The complainant called the officer “aggressive and hostile,” according to the DPA report.
Video submitted by the complainant to accountability investigators showed the officer using profanity and telling the complainant to leave him alone, DPA wrote. The officer suggested, as shown in the reported video, setting up a boxing match between them and advertising it as “gangster versus cop.” In the video, DPA stated that the complainant called the officer a “bitch,” to which the officer repeatedly and aggressively shouted “If you see a bitch slap them.”
