Via the tape made available we witnessed the <br />officers dismantling security cameras, foul language, playing darts, inappropriate jokes aimed at a woman in a <br />wheel chair, and the consumption of products sold at the marijuana dispensary. These behaviors demonstrated a <br />profound lack of ethics, integrity, appropriate decision malting, and the absence of handling the raid <br />professionally and seriously. These actions merited firing from their jobs as police officers. <br />These police officers have disgraced their positions, the SAPD, and do not have the community trust. <br />Chief Carlos Rojas's decision made these officers accountable for their horrific actions. <br />It is very unfortunate that the City's Personnel Board overturned the firing of Brandon Sontag. It is <br />your responsibility as our elected officials to appeal the Board's decision in Superior Court. The City <br />promotes accountability and transparency. This is exactly what Chief Carlos Rojas did in his decision <br />
