Rookie San Francisco Cop's job in danger after the Dui fall detention

A police officer in San Francisco in San Francisco remained imprisoned on Monday after a dui crash, which took place only two days after his completion at the police academy.

The 28 -year -old Ryan Kwong is recorded in the prison of San Francisco County in four cases of DUI, which leads to injuries and ruthless driving.

“I think he probably celebrated too much,” said George Nazzal from San Francisco's external sunset, where the crash took place.

“Probably relaxes, it's finally over. Now I'm a policeman and maybe I can just celebrate – and apparently celebrate the wrong way,” said Nazzal.

Completion at the police academy

The background story:

On Thursday, Kwong was a proud graduate of the 284th SFPD Police Academy. The 28-year-old was supposed to start training at a district station.

Instead, he could be exposed to criminal charges, and his mandate is now in danger because it is considered a rehearsal employee and can be released for any reason.

Dui crash only days later

What we know:

The crash occurred on Saturday at 2 a.m. on Sunset Boulevard and the Rivera Street.

According to the authorities, Kwong, who drove a BMW, plunged into a Toyota minivan and sent them into a light rod in the median. Three people in the minivan were injured. One suffered life -threatening injuries, said the police.

The spray paint on the street was still visible on Monday.

“So I heard a bang, maybe I think two,” said Cathy Erlwin, who lives nearby and how many residents were stunned that the suspect was a newly appointed police officer.

“A police officer should have greater responsibility than an average citizen, and he shouldn't be in such a situation,” said Erlwin.

Since he was not free of service at that time, Kwong will deal with it as a private individuals without the support of the police exchange.

Tracy McCray, President of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, said her thoughts and prayers are in the injured victims.

“It is incredibly disappointing that his behavior did not pass the standards that we have committed as police officers,” said McCray.

Nazzal said: “I only have a cup of coffee and cold, and be grateful for everything he got and achieved instead of going out, romping around and almost losing his future.”
