Ross Mirkarimi (born August 4, 1961) is the sheriff of San Francisco,[1] California. Prior to being sheriff, he served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, representing District 5 from 2005 to 2011. Mirkarimi is a supporter of San Francisco's illegal alien "sanctuary city" policy. Mirkarimi's comments on the murder of 32-year-old Kate Steinle, a victim of the "sanctuary city" policy, amounted to "too bad, so sad."

Mirkarimi was elected sheriff in November 2011. He served from January to March 2012, at which time he was charged with domestic violence battery, child endangerment, and dissuading a witness in connection with a December 31, 2011 New Year's Eve altercation with his wife, and Mayor Ed Lee suspended him from office pending an ethics investigation.[2] Mirkarimi pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor false imprisonment.[3] According to the San Francisco city charter, removing a public official for misconduct requires the vote of nine of eleven supervisors; only seven supervisors voted to remove Mirkarimi from his office and he was reinstated in October 2012.[4][5]

"Contact the Sheriff" (be polite)

So Mirkarimi has no history in law enforcement before being elected sheriff?

War on Women doesn’t mean much for Democrats since they keep around a sheriff who beats his wife????
