SF Officer charged in suspect's 2017 death

Sf officer to face criminal charges in 2017. Fatal shooting. A former rookie San Francisco police officer has been charged with manslaughter for fatally shooting a man through the window of a moving police car in 2017. I don't understand that, but District Attorney Chesa Boden said Monday. Christopher Sama Yoa was four days out of the police Academy when he shot 42 year old Keita O'Neill in the head during a police pursuit near the Alice Griffin housing projects in December 1, 2017

Sorry to introduce kind of a downer, but the topic is relevant re #BLM and timely. What do you think? @Mtwadamela @MerelyHuman@KnowWuan @DBPardes

Hey, thanks for sharing this, Brooke. If I heard it right, this looks like it's a step in the right direction. I just think that cops need to be held a lot more accountable for the their actions. If anything or I've seen over the last years, the course of events in the last year, it is that the cops are not held accountable for their actions. Personally, it has bothered me that propaganda has taken off a completely different form

But that's the problem, right there is the culture is accepting of that type of there's no reason for that police officer to anticipate being charged with the homicide in response or as a result of his actions. So he's being treated like a scapegoat and like a sacrificial lamb, basically, or like something to satisfy the current culture because he was new because it happened to be like three days on to the forest

@shammi ty for ur comment, forgive late reply. I'm TMI here, ignore is ok

It's usually like a crazy person because anybody who doesn't drop the weapon when the police say drop your weapon is either crazy or suicidal, right. So if someone with a knife and they just I know they did get on a body camera, the police Department is good here about releasing that imagery, which I don't really want to see personally, but it's good that they have that transparency
