Police faced intense pressure to investigate how a confidential report on a critic's death was released to the media. They caused a national scandal with what they did next.

About 10 police officers showed up to raid freelance reporter Bryan Carmody's house on Friday, he says. Their use of a sledgehammer to try to break down his front gate is captured in this photo from his security system.

Police officials at the meeting struck a tone of contrition about the leak of the report, which had noted that Adachi had been with a woman who wasn’t his wife and that he had been found unresponsive at an apartment with an unmade bed and empty bottles of alcohol.

The two Superior Court judges who each signed a search warrant for Carmody’s home and office, Victor Hwang and Gail Dekreon, did not respond to questions sent to court spokeswoman Megan Filly. Filly said they were prohibited by state code from commenting on a pending case. A reporter was body slammed by a congressional candidate the day before the election for asking a tough question. Bomb threats have poured into national newsrooms like CNN. And the Trump administration has stepped up the war on leaks to the media in Washington.“If feels as if this anti-press sentiment has penetrated even liberal San Francisco,” Ed Wasserman, the dean of Berkeley’s journalism school said in a phone interview.

In the Supervisors’ hearing, the public defender’s office had highlighted the payment that the reporter received for the police report, raising questions about whether there was some confusion about the nature of Carmody’s work and how it fits in the world of journalism.

I'd make them pay for the windshield also! If they do psych eval for police candidates, they need to do better. Dumb fuckers! Don't know deadly force or just don't give a damn as evidenced. You cannot shoot someone fleeing you. Where's the threat and danger from a backside? Shitty assholes. If being fired upon is the exception. This is not the case. They were brown so actions justified.
