my name is eric bob mcdonnell, and i am here to urge you to drop these charges, dismissed these charges, and reinstate wasa mirkarimi immediately. this case is not about a bruised arm, and i can prove it to you. i myself that two badly bruised arm when a violent felony was committed against me when i was attacked on the streets, only to be denied justice by the very same people. only to be denied justice by the very same government agencies who are now claiming the moral high ground in the name of public safety. we need sheriff ross mirkarimi's leadership, and we need it yesterday. i am very upset with mayor edwin lee for bringing these ridiculous charges. he is a long time since the insider who was appointed to his position as mayor without anything remotely resembling a public process. whereas mirkarimi received more than 2000 plus, more votes than mayor ed lee last november, and mayor ed lee is now trying to shamelessly overturn that election. i urge you to not let him do that. if mayor ed lee as 1 ounce of integrity left, he will end this charade and give this city our share of back
