SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Seven San Francisco police officers accused of sending racist and homophobic text messages have been suspended, and the police chief has recommended that they be fired.
Chief Greg Suhr announced Friday that he has asked a police oversight committee to approve firing the officers. Six others face disciplinary actions that include reassignment to positions that don't have contact with the public. Another officer tied to the investigation already has resigned.
The text messages "are of such despicable thinking that those responsible clearly fall below the minimum standards required to be a police officer," Suhr said in a statement.

“Now Fong gets to be a triple-dipping pension superstar!
When she left the Hall of Justice in 2009, Police Chief Heather Fong, 53, had 32 years under her belt - and is receiving two pensions: $229,500 a year as a safety worker, and a second pension of $48,156 per year for a grand total of $277,656, topping the list of the city's pensioners. “
One of the previous Chiefs Fred Lau retired out with 200K++
and lateraled to the head of TSA in Oakland at 100++. Nice work if you can get it. Starting salary is $301,418 for the SFPD chief now.
Shoot their dog, just don’t dis them.
Next time that happens the occupants should claim that the SWAT team yelled homophobic slurs as they barged in. That'll get them fired.
And I wager their pensions were in the 20K/year range.
None of this 277K/yr nonsense.
Who in the private sector has a pension like that?
Not many if any in private sector land.
30K meant a lot more then than now. Not that either lived the high life but could live OK.
The pension wouldn’t be so hot but at least it existed and was probably sustainable even with the economics of the time.
That 277 jazz isn’t and it’s sickening.
What about officers who use the name of my Saviour as a curse?
Can they be fired for being anti-Christian?
Cop calls killer a dirty name. Killer goes free. I got it.
