Mayor Lee’s Statement on Police Department Investigation Into Racist and Homophobic Text Messages

“It is both shocking and disturbing to hear that four San Francisco police officers are under investigation for such heinous and despicable statements. The content of these text messages displays a bias that is incompatible with the values of our City and incompatible with the ability to perform sworn duties as a police officer.

If these statements are attributable to any San Francisco Police officer, I join Police Chief Greg Suhr in seeking nothing less than termination.

San Francisco is a City that embraces and celebrates diversity. This kind of disrespectful, hateful behavior will not be tolerated.  The San Francisco Police Department is one of the best in the nation, and we will continue to work to ensure that the police force represents the diversity of our City.”
