Gascon is Always Looking Out for Gascon

By London N. Breed

San Francisco’s former district a,orney, George Gascon, who le town before his term was finished so he could run for D.A. in Los Angeles, has a long history of going whichever way the winds blow, saying whatever suits his poli+cal purposes, and only looking out for himself.

FILE PHOTO Nevertheless, I was shocked to read how San Francisco Mayor London Breed Gascon is now trying to explain why I, along with San Francisco’s well-respected city a,orney, Dennis Hererra, oppose his candidacy. Gascon claims he “ra,led cages” in San Francisco and that’s why our city’s top leaders oppose him. This is nonsense. And I can speak for myself. Like countless others who have witnessed Gascon’s brand of “leadership” up close, I have opposed his candidacy from the start, and for very simple reasons: Gascon was bad for San Francisco, and he would be bad for LA. When Gascon was first brought to San Francisco by then-Mayor Gavin Newsom, he was recruited from conserva+ve Mesa, Ariz. He’d been a registered Republican and was on the record suppor+ng the use of the death penalty “in appropriate cases.” Shortly into his tenure as police chief, Gascon enraged much of the community when he claimed that San Francisco is suscep+ble “to members of the city’s Middle Eastern com- munity parking a van in front of [the Hall of Jus+ce] and blowing it up.” Later, when he decided to run for D.A., Gascon found it poli+cally convenient to re- brand himself as a progressive. He reversed his posi+on on the death penalty. He talked up the need for police reforms, even though he had ins+tuted none when he was police chief. The flip-flop got him elected, but it didn’t do much for reform efforts. While many of us were working to enact meaningful police reforms, Gascon failed to indict any of the officers involved in a series of high-profile shoo+ngs. Communi+es of color con+nued to suffer dis- propor+onately from violence on our city’s streets, even as the D.A.’s office became increasingly cavalier toward vic+ms of violence. Experienced public servants le Gascon’s notoriously mismanaged office in droves. When a senior prosecutor blew the whistle on Gascon carrying a concealed weapon on commercial flights, Gascon retaliated by having him fired. The city was forced to pay $400,000 to se,le the wrongful termina+on case. Losing support on all sides in San Francisco, Gascon announced he would not run for re-elec+on, because he wanted to “spend more +me with [his] mother.” Then he resigned before his term was over, and less than a month aer that, filed to run for D.A. in LA. I grew up in public housing, and as an adult, I’ve lived and worked in the very commu- ni+es we talk about when we say “Black Lives Ma,er.” Before I ever ran for public office, when Gascon was a new D.A. and I was running a community center in San Francisco’s his- torically Black Fillmore District, Gascon showed how li,le actual Black lives ma,er to him. A young Black man found himself in the wrong place at the wrong +me: a stree*ight that resulted in a deadly shoo+ng. I knew the young man from my community center, knew he was not a violent person, and learned he had no part in the shoo+ng. I reached out to D.A. Gascon, pleading with him not to ruin this young man’s life by trea+ng him like one of the shooters. But Gascon wasn’t interested. Eventually, the charges against the young man were dismissed, but not before his life was totally derailed. Gascon, who now portrays himself as a flagbearer for the Black Lives Ma,er movement, wasn’t willing to li a finger for that young man’s Black life. As L.A. voters are asked to consider George Gascon, I hope they will take into account both his poor record as a D.A. and his lack of character as a public servant. And to the Black voters, in par+cular, whom Gascon is so eagerly cour+ng: I don’t believe need self-serving “allies” who are only there for us when it suits their needs, we need true partners who will stand with us through thick and thin in the ongoing fight for jus+ce for all. George Gascon is not that person. London N. Breed is the 45th Mayor San Francisco. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2020 NEWS LASENTINEL.NET A-17
