"Gimme your doggie bag, or I'll shoot"
Surely there are more important things to go to court over....?
Second acquittal over 'fajita-gate'
Prosecutors plan to retry officer in food-fight case
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- A police officer was acquitted Wednesday of a charge linked to his involvement in an drunken off-duty fight over a bag of steak fajitas two years ago. Jurors deadlocked on an assault charge, and prosecutors said they planned to retry him.
The jury found Matthew Tonsing innocent of battery and voted 8-4 in favor of acquittal on a felony assault with a deadly weapon charge. Jurors had already cleared him of a misdemeanor battery charge.
On Monday, the jury acquitted David Lee, one of three San Francisco officers arrested for allegedly confronting two men outside a bar and demanding their doggie bag of fajitas.

Something sad? My sister went to college with Tonsing. Every time there's a picture of him in the paper because of this thing I clip it and send it.
But yeah, there's more to the story than the fajitas.
Thought you might know something about this story...
