The San Francisco police bicycle officer who was run down by a sport utility vehicle driven by a man with a long rap sheet suffered “severe injuries” and remained in intensive care Thursday, but his family and his colleagues are optimistic he will recover, said Police Chief Bill Scott.

The suspect, Maurquise Johnson, 50, drove off and abandoned his car about a mile and a half to the east at Central and Fell streets, prompting an hours-long manhunt of surrounding areas, police said. Johnson was taken into custody about 3:30 p.m. on Ellis Street, officials said, before being jailed on suspicion of attempted murder, reckless driving, hit and run, resisting arrest and driving without a license.

According to San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, Johnson was convicted in that county of misdemeanor petty theft in 1993 and of giving false information to an officer in 2013. Also in 2013, San Francisco prosecutors charged Johnson with robbery, receiving a stolen car, grand theft and evading an officer. He was convicted of grand theft.

The next year, he was charged in San Francisco with drug possession, driving without a license, disturbing the peace and providing false information to an officer. After pleading guilty to disturbing the peace, he was sentenced to 16 days in county jail.

A few months later, Johnson was arrested in San Francisco on suspicion of buying or receiving stolen property and providing false information to an officer. The next year, he was arrested in the city on suspicion of recklessly evading police and leaving the scene of an accident.

In June 2016, he was sentenced to state prison for two years for stealing a car and evading police in San Mateo County. Johnson was released after a few months because he had already served much of his time before sentencing. In February, he pleaded no contest in San Francisco to drug dealing, records show, and was sentenced to 67 days in jail.


Obviously the police were profiling Maurquise

Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom are against that. In their dealings while "leading" district attorney offices they engineered reduced sentences for criminals, let others go free and refused to charge others. Kamala Harris is now a senator and has her sights on the presidency, and Newsom has his sights on the governor's office.

Good energy?

How about if I pray for the man? I hope that won’t offend their Frisco sensibilities.

Wonder if this cop's widow will think of those things as creating "good energy"?

I have a sinking feeling that she will.

“...run down by a sport utility vehicle driven by a man...”

Wow! How times have changed! They’re actually admitting that an SUV was driven by a HUMAN and not just acting on its own?

You know, like that GUN that jumps up and shoots ya...all on its own?

Prayers up for this injured officer - and prayers up for California, as a whole.

Bingo!!! Maybe we could ask them to define “good energy” and if it was derived through coal or solar power, and if it has a “carbon footprint.” I will pray for him however, despite my carbon footprint.

Nice to see that the San Mateo/S.F. judges are really “tough” on crime, or is that “grime”.

I’ll go for the latter since this creep was “in and out” so fast he was like Ed Wood.

My sister is ultra liberal. When I was going through a minor crisis, she said that she was sending healing thoughts my way. I knew that she was trying to be nice, but I wanted to ask if she was going to use UPS, or the Postal Service . . .
