San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott is defending his recent decision to stop cooperating with the San Francisco District Attorney's Office on a mutual investigative agreement they set up three years ago.
San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott moved to terminate the agreement Feb. 2 following testimony by a district attorney's office investigator in the ongoing criminal case against Officer Terrance Stangel.
Opening statements began Monday in the San Francisco police abuse trial against Terrance Stangel. The officer is accused of beating Dacari Spiers in a case that's caused a larger political fight between District Attorney Chesa Boudin and police Chief Bill Scott.
