The real question is: Did the videos portray San Francisco Police Officers mimicking acts which would be felonious if actually conducted in real life?
If those filmed were just clothed as generic police officers, then it will be difficult for SFPD to win on this one.
If the videos showed uniformed SFPD officers with SF insignia etc, then these officers are really in
career trouble.....unless the publication of the vids on the internet was inadvertant.
I hope the officers win this one, as I know the black humor often shared by police officers. When you are under the gun as an officer day in , day out, comic relief is often the only way to handle all the violence, tragedy and suffering one sees on the job. I am sure the officers meant no harm by it.
In uniform? I think so.
The publication of the videos on the internet was definitely not intentional, although it's still unclear how they got there.
I'm assuming you know I was using sarcasm earlier.
