As many as 150 women posed for photos on the steps of San Francisco City Hall on Sunday calling for the reinstatement of suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi. Photos by Luke Thomas.<\/p><\/div>\n

September 11, 2012<\/p>\n

As many as 150 women gathered Sunday on the steps of City Hall to demonstrate their support for suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi and to repudiate efforts by Mayor Ed Lee to remove a political opponent from office at the expense of democracy and taxpayer funds.<\/p>\n

Holding signs that read, \u201cStand with Eliana and Ross, Reinstate our Sheriff\u201d and \u201cI believe Eliana\u201d in both Spanish and English, the supporters posed for photos while the couple\u2019s three-year-old son, Theo, expended energy in giddy excitement.<\/p>\n

Eliana Lopez, a native Venezuelan and trained thespian, glowed with the warmth and air of a first lady.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Eliana Lopez was the star of the show.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mirkarimi was elected Sheriff in November garnering more votes than Lee whom Mirkarimi opposed as interim mayor when Mirkarimi served on the Board of Supervisors. Mirkarimi, an independent progressive who wasted little time in cozying up to his peers on the Board of Supervisors or San Francisco\u2019s political machine, preferring instead to advance sensible policies around public safety – would soon learn that a price would be exacted against him at the earliest opportunity.<\/p>\n

That opportunity presented itself on January 4 – four days before Sheriff-elect Mirkarimi would be sworn into office – when it was revealed a police investigation was underway into a reported domestic violence incident triggered by the couple\u2019s neighbor, Ivory Madison, who, without Lopez\u2019 consent or permission, called police to report she had a video of a tearful Lopez recounting a heated argument Lopez had with her husband on December 31 during which Mirkarimi grabbed Lopez\u2019s arm and caused a bruise.<\/p>\n

As Lopez testified before the Ethics Commission, the video was made January 1 at Madison\u2019s urging which could be used, Madison said, to \u201cscrew\u201d Mirkarimi in case the couple sought divorce and entered into a child custody battle.<\/p>\n

Regardless of its purpose, the video recording, now in the hands of police, who overwhelmingly supported former SFPOA President Chris Cunnie over Mirkarimi for Sheriff, would, it was hoped, be all that was needed to whip up an anti-Mirkarimi mania in an effort to wipe Mirkarimi\u2019s name off the honors board and return control of the Sheriff\u2019s department to one of their own.<\/p>\n

What followed next was a cascade of hardships imposed on the Mirkarimi-Lopez family including Mirkarimi\u2019s forced separation from his wife for seven months; supervised visitation with his son; criminal charges filed by a newly elected District Attorney with strong ties to Lee\u2019s moneyed boosters; anti-domestic violence billboards funded in part by Mirkarimi\u2019s political opponents<\/a>; Lee\u2019s suspension of Mirkarimi without pay and Lee\u2019s use of the media to label Mirkarimi a \u201cwife beater\u201d in an attempt to counter multiple allegations that he lied under oath<\/a> during an Ethics Commission probe comprising political appointees, allegations District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n and the Ethics Commission dismissed, respectively, as \u201clacking evidence” and \u201cirrelevant.”<\/p>\n

Gasc\u00f3n also refused to investigate video evidence of voter fraud committed by Lee\u2019s backers in Chinatown, inaction that signals a green light to would be beneficiaries of political corruption in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Jane Morrison, a longtime SF Democratic Party matriarch and women\u2019s rights activist who attended the rally in support of Mirkarimi, told FCJ, \u201cHe [Lee] didn\u2019t have to get involved and it was wrong of him to suspend Ross without pay. This matter should be decided by the people and the courts, not the politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am appalled at the assault on democracy in San Francisco,\u201d added Vivian Imperiale, a vocational rehabilitation coordinator who works for the City. \u201cI thought this was a liberal bastion and what I\u2019m seeing here is absolutely frightening. There was no due process. He lost his family and his job without pay. Amazing. This makes me think this is spiteful politics at play because there\u2019s no explanation for why he is being treated so differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mirkarimi was quick to offer an explanation.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy removing an elected sheriff, the mayor is able to install a caretaker sheriff and then do what we now see happening – to consolidate power in the criminal justice industry which is resistant to liberal and progressive thought,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is about the integrity of our local democracy,\u201d Mirkarimi continued. \u201cThe punishment doesn\u2019t fit the crime and what\u2019s at stake here is much larger of an issue than whether to just reinstate Ross Mirkarimi as Sheriff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately the Board of Supervisors will decide if Mirkarimi\u2019s plea to one misdemeanor count of false imprisonment warrants Mirkarimi\u2019s removal from office.\u00a0 Seven members of the eleven-member Board are attorneys well versed in interpreting legal jargon and applying the intent and spirit of official misconduct as defined in the City Charter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is uncertain is whether political pressures will render their judgments devoid of integrity and courage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at this as a lawyer, and you look at it in an analytical way, you have to come down to the fact that this crime that he pled to, a low-level misdemeanor, does not constitute official misconduct within the meaning of the City Charter,\u201d said Lopez and Mirkarimi defense attorney Paula Canny. \u201cSometimes, doing the right thing isn\u2019t the popular thing and they need to do the right thing and not be so afraid of their political lives because, when all is said and done, they\u2019ve got to live with their conscience for the rest of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best pillow is a good conscience,\u201d Canny added. \u201cNone of them are going to sleep right if they do the political expedient thing, but they\u2019ll all sleep right and feel good about themselves if they vote to reinstate Ross.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
