They're probably convinced, to a man, that if there was foul play, the victim incited it with his pro-Israel stance. Most police departments would, but this is a San Francisco police department.

Blacks have roughly 7 times the population as Jews and suffer about 3 times as much in terms of hate crimes.

They claim five million. So there are more Jews than Muslims, but no matter which way you cut it, CAIR lies about the number of attacks on Muslims. I go by the FBI crime statistics. I heard about that case. I'm withholding judgment, as I'm not an officer investigating the death. If it was murder, don't you think a police department would be interested in noticing that it was murder? People are really leaping to conclusions quickly here.

If, as I suspect, there are more Muslims here than there are Jews, the 840% disparity becomes even greater when viewed on a per capita basis. By the way, did you see that a prominent pro-Israel advocate in San Francisco was found dead at the bottom of an elevator shaft after leaving an Arabic class this week? His friends say there is no reason to suspect suicide, and the police are treating it as an accident. Michael Savage (not always a reliable source) has pictures of the elevator door showing what he believes are signs of a struggle, and he may be right.
