If this is his facility picture, what does he wear at night, a ski mask?

SAN FRANCISCO — When African-American professor Antwi Akom drove to San Francisco State University to retrieve a book for his next day's class, he didn't imagine he would end up behind bars.
Akom, who is 35 and on a tenure track, was arrested and charged with two felonies — resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer — after he was stopped and queried security guard around 11 p.m. Tuesday on the way to his office in the College of Ethnic Studies.
According to the professor and his colleagues, the arrest occurred as Akom left the building to return to his car. They said he was hurrying because his two young children had fallen asleep in the back of the car.
The police report released by the university gives a different version, as told by the security guard and three police officers involved in the incident.
The San Francisco State Police report says Akom would not provide identification to a security guard and was the aggressor in a struggle that led to one police officer suffering minor injuries and Akom being arrested.
The incident has prompted the university to call for calm and an external independent re- view, to be headed by former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown and Louise Renne, former San Francisco city attorney and president of the city's police commission.
"I have been heartened by the tone of many of the messages from faculty and staff concerning this painful event," San Francisco State University President Robert Corrigan said in a prepared statement released Friday.
Corrigan urged the campus community to avoid "a rush to judgment" and to "await the reviewers' report."
"The very fact that this process is going forward will, I hope, provide reassurance that San Francisco State University remains a safe and supportive environment for all."

Gee, what a surprise.
He deserved to be arrested for leaving his two children alone asleep in a car. What a lousy father.
The guard(s) is in big trouble.

Add possible negligence for leaving the kids alone in the car. People get arrested for that when they leave a pet in a car and something bad happens to it.
LOL. Willie Brown is going to conduct an independent review
Of the incident. RIGHT.!!!
I got to that part and quit reading.

I visited my father last fall, with Spot. I left him in the car, in the shade of a 7 story building. It was 75 degrees outside, and the windows were left open enough for adequate ventilation.
I left him a bowl of water, on the back floor, and went up to have lunch with Pop.
When ready to leave, I walked up to find a DC Humane OFFICER, complete with gun, talking to a man, who had called to complain about Spot being left there.
Spot was not in any danger, but I almost got arrested for telling the "officer" to take a hike. she wanted to argue, and I just got into my car and defied her...
I found out later, that had I not been on Fed property, she would have bagged me...
Spot didn't care. He was happy to see me...
It appears his cooperation would have precluded any problems. Next case!
He shows a lot of respect for SFSU.
