The "probe" is going to be quite damning for the Sheriff-elect. Perhaps even a deal breaker.

So much black humor to be had here for a green party pacifist progressive anti-incarceration sheriff to be looked at for domestic abuse. Hardly know where to start.

And the best part? We don't even have to make this stuff up and it comes to us for free!

Meh, I smell bogosity. Perhaps the experience will induce an aversion to captiousness on his part in the future. Maybe that's the point.

I think we'll refer to this as a "Reverse Packwood"as it's just as hillarious as Republicans getting caught dabbling on the dark side.

I wasn't a supporter of Ross for Sheriff, but this seems off. Can't help but wonder if it's someone's sour grapes

"He [Mirkarimi] called the allegations 'a private matter, a family matter.'"

He does come off as unctuous, doesn't he?

I've never seen RM lose his cool, so to me these allegations just don't seem like him. He always seemed more passive-agressive than brittle. Then again all the stories about the misogynist Green party leadership under Mirk and Matt Gonzalez comes to mind as well.

I remember Arthur Evans remarking on verbal abuse on the part of Mirk towards his staff. So while know one outside the household or SFPD knows the full story, I was not shocked to hear about it.

Turns out the woman who made the report threw a fundraiser for Ross back in October.

Mirk calls allegations a 'family matter'.

To say that it's "a family matter, a private matter" is bad enough. When it comes from a sworn law enforcement official, it is horribly wrong. Mirk is innocent until proven guilty (assuming he is charged). But a statement like that shows the worst sort of judgement. Coming from the man who is responsible for the proper treatment of those who are incarcerated, it becomes frightening.

That statement is an acknowledgment that something did happen and he does not want it going public.

I personally witnessed Ross being verbally abusive in his office towards an aide; yelling at him from another room, demanding something he wanted done. It was embarassing for those of us who were talking with the aide; the aide just shirked it off like something he was used to. So I wasn't surprised to read the news. I was shocked though at his "family matter" response. I imagine lots of law enforcement people hear that same kind of remark by one spouse or another after they arrive at the front door.

Note to Sheriff Ross: It ain't a "private, family matter". Never was. Now it for sure isn't.

Actually it was Scott Shafer and they had Peter Keane and Rachel Gordon on there. Both are unfortunate apologists for the progressive clique so little light was shed.
