That San Francisco firefighter who badly injured another firefighter with a heavy, 15-inch hydrant wrench will NOT face felony assault charges. Today, Alameda Superior Court Judge Sharon Djemal ordered 49-year-old Robert Muhammad into mental health diversion. He'll have to continue therapy every two weeks for two years and check in periodically with the court. As you see in the video today, neither Muhammad nor his defense attorney, Jim Bustamente, would comment on camera. The courtroom was packed with about 50 friends and supporters for Muhammad, including current SFFD brass. Gabriel Shin suffered two broken arms, a concussion, and PTSD from the January 2022 attack. Court records show Muhammad swung the wrench at Shin's head 10-12 times and only stopped when a neighbor, who happened to be a human trafficking investigator, pulled her gun and ordered Muhammad to stop. Shin described the attack to the judge, but did not wait for the decision. He told me later by phone he didn't want to see a lot of gladhanding, and thought the decision seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Shin has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Muhammad and the fire department for Battery, Assault, Race and Color Discrimination, Disability Discrimination, Retaliation and more. Shin’s attorney, James Torres, says Robert Muhammad never faced discipline and never missed a paycheck. You can see an interview with Gabriel Shin and more details on the case here:

A VERY LONG COMMUTE UPDATE Spent late last night at the Millbrae City Council meeting and spotted Police Chief Eamonn Allen in the back of the room. I wanted to find out what the city was doing about my report that Allen lives in Idaho and sleeps in the police station. Raises all sorts of issues. I wanted to take another shot at questioning Allen and had to be quick on my feet. He left the meeting right after public comment, and an officer who was with him tried to block my way. I caught Allen as he walked into the police station and asked, "Eamonn, have you found a place to stay besides the police station?" Watch below. The issue caused tensions to rise at the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors last night. I'll have the latest on the news at 5 and 6 tonight, and online after.

An assault in the Presidio Sunday sent me to the hospital. I was able to get some video. US Park Police responded quickly. I was concerned about other people being targeted.

When the storms come, we normally see dilapidated anchor-outs from Sausalito washing up on Tiburon or Belvedere. But this is the second day that I’ve spotted boats washed up on the San Francisco shoreline.

Tonight’s carmaggedon continues right now in San Francisco. Ripple effect from Richmond -San Rafael Bridge being shut down for hours today because of a mental health emergency apparently. Heard one driver shouting out her window at top of her lungs, “I want to go home.”

A survivor of an especially brutal case of domestic violence is trusting me to tell her story. Watch below for the crucial moment when a year of repeated incidents of domestic violence finally stopped. She wants to encourage other victims to seek justice for a crime that is so often underreported. She also wants to complain about tactics used by the San Francisco Public Defender's Office. We, in the media, like to use superlatives when discussing the work we're about to publish, but this truly is extraordinary. ABC7 is taking 15 minutes of our 6pm news today for this one story. I've reviewed more than a thousand pages of court documents and obtained the exhibits, including police body cam as they responded that night. The survivor is so open in our interview, and I also lined up a retired superior court judge and a legal ethics professor to weigh in. The San Francisco Public Defender's Office declined to be interviewed, but I do my best to convey their position from a written statement. I hope you'll join me at 6.
