Ross Mirkarimi got his job back, 1 Supervisor vote changed his destiny


San Francisco Chronicle/Heather Knight and John Cote, 10/10/12. "Ross Mirkarimi to keep job, supes decide."

Ross Mirkarimi, maybe I'll only bully prisoners. 
"In a shocking end to the melodrama that has consumed San Francisco City Hall for the past nine months, the Board of Supervisors bucked Mayor Ed Lee late Tuesday night by giving suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi his job back.

Four members of the board rejected Lee's call that Mirkarimi be permanently removed for committing official misconduct, an allegation that stemmed from a New Year's Eve fight with his wife for which he later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of false imprisonment.

Mayor Ed Lee, sure no hard feelings.

Lee needed nine of the 11 supervisors' votes to oust Mirkarimi. Supervisors John Avalos, David Campos, Jane Kim  and - in a major blow to Lee - the mayor's appointee, Christina Olague, voted to reinstate Mirkarimi."  Read article.

    This is what "progressive" hippies do. Support a BATTERER because he supports their twisted views.

    Supervisor Mirkarimi was one of the main proponents of shutting down Sharp Park Golf Coarse and turning it into a park.

    Mirkarimi has a past of hating cops. He should make a wonderful Sheriff for the progressives/communists.
