Police Officer Shootings
so your point applies to the Editorial Josh is all upset about, then. josh, innocent people are getting killed. that's what everyone should be upset about, not that some press is actually talking about it. The Faust family is forever indebted to citybeat for actually taking the time to look into Jake's case and report his side as well.— April 24, 2009 10:23 a.m.

aren't you doing the same thing here about citybeat? or its ok cause they started it? frankly, i don't know much about nor care about your feud. you posted outrageous (imo) statements about always accepting whatever cops do and ignorant opinions on Jacob Faust and his senseless killing. to me, this is about you and police accountability. if 2% of that list was in error, the police need to admit that and strive toward not repeating those errors again.— April 23, 2009 4:49 p.m.

i copied and pasted the list. they are all police involved shootings since Jake was killed 4 years ago. it is about accountability. the cops need our trust to do their jobs well. wouldn't you trust them more if they transparently dealt with their own who did wrong? i certainly would. SD needs to know they can be the Fausts just as easily as anyone else. i've put out a press release about jake related memorials, fundraisers, peaceful demonstrations since he was killed. perhaps if they knew SD would be interested in knowing about abuse of force and power in the cops and city they'd take a bigger interest? 10news did a report on this before jake's case was settled. you should watch the piece. there is also raw video from the president of the police officers association and mike marrinan, a civil rights attorney. you should watch both of those, too. franly, if everything the cop rep said were true, we wouldn't have a problem. but actions speak louder than words. full piece: http://mfile.akamai.com/12922/wmv/vod.ibsys.com/2… article: http://www.10news.com/investigations/18148397/det… marrinan raw vid: http://mfile.akamai.com/12922/wmv/vod.ibsys.com/2… bill nemec raw vid: http://mfile.akamai.com/12922/wmv/vod.ibsys.com/2…— April 23, 2009 11:59 a.m.

Good question!! because the DA just rubber stamps? I don't know that any cop has been found guilty of anything. No one polices the police. In my opinion, the press should be doing more of that. This whole thing is about ACCOUNTABILITY. It should be demanded. You should ask the city these questions. Ask the DA. I don't have access to details of cases other than Jake's. Below is a list of shootings since Jake. Use your press pass to learn more! SD kills more people than NY.— April 23, 2009 1:41 a.m.

it happened in the middle of the gaslamp district.— April 22, 2009 5:46 p.m.

I agree completely, lallaw. I have been typing all of this with my left hand because I am laid up at home with a busted right-wrist. I will see if I can get you the details of the stop. I know Jake's mother would prefer to have check in hand before feeling comfortable telling all details learned in discovery. Kelly Davis knows a great deal as she has written several articles in CityBEAT on Jake's case. She has been amazing and I don't blame her reactions to JoshB one iota.— April 22, 2009 2:36 p.m.

I commend Josh for changing his mind. I also stand by everything I said. If he knew the facts, the discussion could have started more productively from the start. Now that we know they were in the wrong, it took over 50+ posts to let him see he had it wrong from the beginning. (Not that I mind the posting because I feel strongly enough that Jake's story needs a voice.) This is not the first blog to talk about Jake's case. 4 years ago the UT forum was quick to come to the cops' defense and 100s of posts ensued. When the settlement was announced a couple weeks ago, there were plenty of people on signonsandiego who were upset the city paid $ to a person whom they felt deserved to be killed. The truth is, Jake DID do everything he was being asked to do by the cops. Eyewitness statements attest to this. He didn't struggle nor put up a fight. He made a left against a posted sign and wound up shot to death less than 30 minutes later. There have been other threads. If the Reader was serious about reporting, why wouldn't they want to do a story on this? Why won't the UT admit what they printed was false. Why don't they want to print the truth. The fact of the matter is that CityBEAT and a couple other indie rags have been the ONLY press interested in actually talking to the Fausts. They were the only people who told the victim's side of the story. The one thing SD can do at this point, is be mad and demand accountability. Don't brush off these stories as ridiculous and assume the cops are always in the right. And please, do not say it is "I found it equally or more horrible, that you would say cops should be held accountable. Accountable, for what?!?!?" I hope if anything comes from this discussion, it is that you will see how no one is above the law and EVERYONE needs to be held accountable for their actions. lallaw, that story about your niece is HORRIFIC. I am SO soory to hear that. I completely agree she shouldn't have been driving drunk nor calling the police names (two things Jake wasn't doing, for the record), but do you really believe it warranted her getting her head slammed into the car repeatedly???— April 22, 2009 11:32 a.m.
