    Silicon Valley cop resigns as union boss after covering up racist texts from officers calling for lynchings and prison sexual assault.

    Don Morrissey, the embattled president of the Santa Clara County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association (DSA), has sent his resignation letter to members.

    “Within our association and the broader law enforcement community, leaders must not only set an example, but demand accountability when we fall short,” he wrote in the announcement issued late Thursday afternoon. “That accountability must start with me. And that’s why today I am announcing my resignation as your Association President. In an earlier draft shared with advisers and friends, Morrissey conceded that bowing out “may best serve the membership at this time.”

    His departure comes a little more than a month after San Jose Inside and Metro Silicon Valley revealed the extent of his involvement in a texting scandal that led to his second demotion and cost several other officers their jobs.

    Revelations about Morrissey’s complicity in the bigoted texts and his demotion from lieutenant to sergeant in 2012 for browsing internet porn and posting online sex ads at work reflected poorly on both the union and retired Undersheriff John Hirokawa, the DSA-backed candidate challenging Sheriff Laurie Smith’s re-election this fall.AMIBC® - VOTE!
