said that either Officer Alex Fagan Jr., son of the department's second-in-command, or Officer Jason Kristal -- or both -- used the slur during the July 23 arrest in the parking lot of the Toys R Us on Geary Boulevard.

Hmmm....assuming we believe what the perp says, could it be that the other officer was shouting "Fagan" to his partner, or that Fagan was saying something into his CB about his own last name?

"could it be that the other officer was shouting "Fagan" to his partner"

That is the first thing I thought too. It seems pretty obvious.

"Washburn said the officers beat him for no reason as he crossed the street wearing a sunflower hat and carrying a drum."

Oh, really?
