The leader of a union representing San Francisco police officers recently blasted the newly-elected, progressive district attorney, claiming the city and county’s top prosecutor has given criminals a “green light” to attack cops.
The accusation came after D.A. Chesa Boudin, who was sworn in earlier this month, decided to withdraw criminal charges against a man who allegedly physically assaulted law enforcement in December, pending further investigation. The suspect, 24-year-old Jamaica Hampton, was shot three times by police officers during the altercation, sustaining critical injuries. He recently had his leg amputated as a result and remains hospitalized.
