Cohen v. City and County of S.F.
Andrew Cohen, a uniformed San Francisco police officer, appeals from a judgment denying his petition for a writ of mandate to compel the City and County of San Francisco, and its police department and chief of police, to rescind his temporary suspension without pay from December 8 until December 16, 2005. The suspension arose from a video Cohen made that parodied police department life in a manner that the chief of police found to be offensive and harmful to the departments image. Cohen contends that the trial court erred in finding that the suspension was authorized by the city charter and police department regulations. Court agree in part with Cohens contentions, and reverse the judgment.
