A San Francisco deputy public defender was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon at the Hall of Justice after she asked why city police officers were questioning her client outside a courtroom, the public defender’s office said Wednesday.

The following is a comment from my friend who is a lawyer in San Francisco...which really adds some light to this.

Fact is: Public Defender Jeff Adachi has been nailing police on many different fronts.. and because of actions taken by Public Defender Office... six cops were arrested..and so far 3 have been convicted & are headed to prison. Also, that office has been heavily, heavily involved in The Black Lives Matter... and even lawyers had protests on City Hall Steps...and lots of Public Defenders are wearing Black Lives Matter T-Shirts every day...

So, even in San Francisco, we can count on cops being assholes and making up the law as they go along.

3. Stupid, stupid move by the cops. They've tainted any evidence they get from these guys.

And laid themselves open to a civil action from the attorney.

8. What tainted evidence are you referring to?

The photos??
I do agree though that they have opened themselves up for a lawsuit from the attorney and to be honest they deserve it imo.

4. When you already have an attorney, the police must not even try to question you, in general.

The police must act reasonably in situations like the one above. It is not unreasonable to think that a person standing outside a courtroom may already have an attorney.

5. US kkkops seem to have decided that they are

the Geheime Staatspolizei. This is outrageous but exactly what can be expected from here on out, I am afraid. The kkkops do not stand for being questioned by anyone anymore and that includes attorneys.

Fuck the kkkops.

6. My friends comments shed light on this in that these cops are reacting to a PD office

who cares about the citizens and that the citizens shouldn't unnecessarily suffer from bad policing.

i.e.

Dont you DARE question us or worse, convict us of a crime.

I cant even IMAGINE how much worse this is gonna get before it gets any better.

7. Offhand based on what I have read at the link I would say that the officers need to be suspended

without pay for a few weeks at the very least.

9. Where to start with this shit, First that PIG of a plain clothes sargent need to be fired!!!

Second, stop calling it police intimidation. It is police breaking the law, i.e. a criminal.

How many times have you heard someone arrested for 'Interfering with an Investigation" and "Resisting Arrest"? That is what the lawyer was arrested for, now see it before your eyes. A classic example of how the police lie to get their way...

Sargent Brian Stansbury is not above the law, he is a citizen of this nation. Citizens of this nation do not have the right to break the law whenever and however they feel like it. Fire and arrest this asshole!!!

10. And I believe 90% of active police in America see NOTHING wrong in that video

THus we have a very big, VERY real problem.
