The San Francisco League of Pissed Off Voters penned the following letter to Ethics Commission in support of suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, his wife, Eliana Lopez, and the couple’s three-year old son, Theo. File photo by Luke Thomas.<\/p><\/div>\n

From San Francisco League of Pissed Off Voters<\/em><\/p>\n

August 15, 2012<\/p>\n

Over a couple weeks of discussion among our steering committee members, we wrote this letter which we sent to the SF Ethics Commission asking them to reinstate Ross Mirkarimi as sheriff. We know this is a sensitive and emotionally charged issue, but we ask y’all to be respectful about it. We felt it was important to articulate our position about this case.<\/p>\n

Our criminal justice system is broken<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main flaw in our criminal justice system is the ingrained idea that when someone commits a crime, we have to lock them up and throw away the key. It\u2019s this idea that has led to the U.S. having the highest incarceration rate in the world.<\/p>\n

We supported Sheriff Mirkarimi because he is committed to changing that<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi has shown a commitment to reforming the criminal justice system to focus it on rehabilitating offenders and reintegrating them into society. That\u2019s the main reason we supported him for Sheriff.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s been a brutal irony to watch this flawed \u2018zero tolerance\u2019 idea being applied to Mirkarimi\u2019s domestic violence case and leading to his removal from office. We think the Mayor\u2019s attempt to remove Mirkarimi from office is misguided, and we\u2019re very uncomfortable with a democratically elected official being unilaterally ousted by his political opponents.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a challenge for us to navigate the nuances of the issues raised by this case. We stand against domestic violence, yet we simultaneously believe in rehabilitation and in restorative justice. We abhor our society’s failure to address violence against women, yet we believe that in this case, the punitive response was politically fueled. Neither an average citizen in San Francisco nor a Sheriff aligned with the Mayor would have been targeted in the way Mirkarimi has been.<\/p>\n

The effect on Theo and Eliana<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most painful part of this whole situation has been watching Mirkarimi\u2019s family be torn apart. Lost in all the drama is the fact that a little boy has been kept away from his father for over six months. We think everyone who considers this issue should read Myrna Melgar\u2019s Op-Ed \u201cDomestic violence, a Latina feminist perspective<\/a>,\u201d which considers \u201cthe [implications] of the criminalization of low-level, first offenses of domestic violence on . . . immigrant women and other women of color.\u201d<\/p>\n

Melgar concludes that \u201ca more progressive approach . . . would be to work on emphasizing early, non-law enforcement intervention and the prevention of violence against women in addition to the necessary work of extricating women from dangerous situations.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t ignore the politics of the situation<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s impossible to separate Mirkarimi\u2019s removal from office from the dynamics of San Francisco politics. For as long as any of us have been involved, San Francisco politics has been sharply divided between progressive and moderate factions. For more than twenty years, Mirkarimi has been one of the strongest and most effective leaders of the opposition to the interconnected Willie Brown-Gavin Newsom-Ed Lee administrations. Mirkarimi strongly opposed the appointment of Ed Lee as Mayor.<\/p>\n

On the Board of Supervisors, Mirkarimi was a vocal critic of then-police chief George Gasc\u00f3n on a number of issues. Mirkarimi led the fight against the Sit Lie Law; Gasc\u00f3n was one of the main supporters. Gasc\u00f3n opposed Mirkarimi\u2019s attempts to mandate police foot patrols and require the SFPD to disclose their budget for security for elected officials.<\/p>\n

Mayor Lee needs to get off his high horse<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re disturbed by the reports that Mayor Lee committed perjury in his testimony at the Ethics Commission (in denying that he spoke to Supervisor Christina Olague about the case and denying that he offered Mirkarimi a job if he would resign). And we\u2019re disappointed in the Mayor\u2019s borderline-belligerent reaction to these accusations. The Mayor acts like his word is unassailable and that we should all just \u201ctake his word for it\u201d that he didn\u2019t commit perjury.<\/p>\n

The only reason he is Mayor is because he broke his promise to the people of San Francisco that he wouldn\u2019t run for Mayor after he was appointed!<\/p>\n

Lee came into office with serious trust issues, and his attempt to dismiss these accusations from respected San Franciscans only makes us less likely to trust him. Mirkarimi has done something that we\u2019re still waiting for Mayor Lee to do: apologize and take responsibility for his actions.<\/p>\n

When we compare the severity of the response to Mirkarimi\u2019s case with the lack of any investigation into the accusations of the Mayor\u2019s perjury, as well as the lack of consequences for the apparent voter fraud committed by the Mayor\u2019s supporters last year, we\u2019re left with the impression that the Mayor and his allies are not held to the same standards as the rest of us.<\/p>\n

The media fails us again<\/strong><\/p>\n

The local media has been fascinated with the tornado of scandal that has surrounded these events. Instead of investigative, balanced reporting, we\u2019re left with storm chasing that reads more like gossip rags. We want to see more focus on testimony and context and less of the media assuming the role of judge and jury.<\/p>\n

What we want<\/strong><\/p>\n

So here\u2019s what we want to see happen:<\/p>\n

– The Ethics Commission to recommend that Mirkarimi be reinstated as Sheriff. We don\u2019t believe Mirkarimi\u2019s misdemeanor rises to the level of official misconduct, and we\u2019re uncomfortable with him being removed from office by his political opponents.<\/p>\n

– The Ethics Commission and\/or District Attorney to fully investigate the allegations of the Mayor\u2019s perjury.<\/p>\n

– The members of the Board of Supervisors to come clean about any conversations they had with the Mayor on this issue.<\/p>\n

– And lastly, we want Mirkarimi to take advantage of this second chance. We\u2019re painfully disappointed in his actions, which set off this shit storm in the first place, but we\u2019re encouraged by how this ordeal has made him more humble and open. If he is reinstated as Sheriff, Mirkarimi needs to continue to own up to his actions and use his experience to lead the effort to reform how we treat domestic violence in San Francisco. The City voters elected Mirkarimi and they should have the final decision on whether he remains as Sheriff.<\/p>\n

Signed,<\/p>\n
