San Francisco police chief wants investigation into the department's handling of a raid on a journalist's home. The police union wants the chief to resign because it says he's trying to throw officers who carried out the raid 'under a double-decker bus.'
San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott called for an independent investigation Friday into the department's handling of leaked documents and the subsequent raid of a journalist's home.
Freelance journalist Bryan Carmody obtained a confidential police report that included information about the February death of prominent San Francisco public defender Jeff Adachi. Carmody, 59, refused to tell authorities how he obtained the documents in April. During a raid of Carmody's home weeks later, officers seized his computers, cameras, phones and notebooks.
