Add me to the viewers who read this as being in extremely poor taste. Sounds like the Chris Daly School of Journalism. Consider all who may read this. Next time you need help, call an anarchist.

Sorry to bring this back to the item the blog post covered, but it appears that this esteemed member of the San Francisco Police Department mixed firearms and alcohol, and hilarity did not ensue. Quite frankly, the headline is appropriate and perhaps even gentle when describing the entirely preventable death of someone who knew better and should have acted differently.

Officer Gustafson died as a result of a tragic and unfortunate accident. His family, friends and other officers of the SFPD deserve more respect and caring than your title and illustration portray. I am a supporter and avid reader of SFIST but find this to be in extremely bad taste.

It's a good general rule that puns and stories about people dying are a bad mix.

Is this a case of a dedicated public servant gunned down by a street thug, or a common criminal dispatched by a righteous LEO?

definitely in poor taste, and I eat up SFist snark like crack cornflakes.

It's the last line of Brock's piece that's the laugh: "Chin up, San Mateo".

That is an extraordinarily tasteless headline.
