This is awesome, I want this guy to run for office (Whitehouse). It may take awhile but it's worth it.

A Different Kind of Police Chief

Background:

 

San Francisco Police Officer Nick Birco was killed July 26, 2006,

when his police car was struck by a stolen van occupied by suspects

who had just committed an armed robbery and were being pursued by SFPD units.

 

This video was of a press conference given by a member of the SFPD brass.

This demonstrates how administrators can choose to act, if they want to.

I heard this guy when this happened. Can't believe people gotta blame the cops for stuff like this.

Hmmmm...write traffic tickets: fairly safe for cops, but doesn't give much protection from gettin your house burglerized.
chase bad guys...could get killed...could keep the bad guys from killin YOU...
Which would most cops chose?

       Well said chief. Run for office, please. How does this guy survive in San Fran., home of the infamous 9th(?) circuit (circus) court?

Vette(s): 1977 L-82 originally white/buckskin interior. Currently undergoing a frame-off resto. and modifications.YEEHAW!!!

I wish this man were my Chief.

The media will either rip him to shreds in their stories,

or, totally leave him alone because somebody actually has the stones to tell the truth. And people are listening to this.

I'm saddened about the Police Officer's death, but I'm incredibally impressed at how the Chief handeled it.

This country needs more people like him.

This is a perfect example of what I expect of my elected officials. Not the PC BS that is ruining our country. This man put everything on the line and said what was in his heart. He stood by his man no matter what may happen to his career. I wish him luck, he's going to need it in CA.

I just got this from a good friend who is retired from the force. I plan on calling and thanking the officer for his courage.

The guy on the tape is Det. Gary Delagnes, President of the San Francisco Police Officers Association.

 

He can be reached at: SFPOA

800 Bryant St., 2nd  San Francisco, CA  94103

Regards,
