SF Police Chief Retires/Goes Away
SFPD Chief Heather Fong has retired. Good riddance. She was an uninspired dull chief with no obvious leadership qualities who declared the discovery of some goofy cop videoes to be the "darkest day in SFPD history." Please. She really owed her career opportunities to the virulent attacks that progressives in SF have made on the police this decade. She became chief after lefty-DA Terence Hallinan indicted virtually the entire command structure of the SFPD on a bogus conspiracy charge. After everyone was exonerated, the smart thing would have been to bring everyone back an apologize, but the good progressives at City Hall decided they were tainted, and so we were left with Chief Fong. Her sole accomplishment was becoming the First! Woman! Police chief! Of the SFPD! so there is that. However, she lacked the fire and spirit of a true pioneer, so what exactly was the point?Now, that we've had our fun busting the glass ceiling, how about finding a police chief who (1) has some leadership qualities, and (2) is interested in police work? What a concept!
