Less than an hour after the protesters headed home, Police Chief William McManus announced that the department had filed two felony counts of aggravated assault by a peace officer against Brennand. Among those present at the protest demanding justice for Cantu was the family of 13-year-old AJ Hernandez, who was shot and killed by SAPD Officer Stephen Ramos in June. Hernandez was the second civilian killed by Ramos in two years.
However, police accountability advocates said body cam footage from both incidents appear to contradict the officers' statements. "If [Brennand] wasn't on a probationary period, we would have a different outcome; he'd be on administrative duty just like Ramos," Martinez said."It's like Chief McManus said, he's not protected by the union. He cannot appeal his case, he's basically on his own."Rookie officers like Brennand must complete a year-long probationary period before being eligible for the benefits provided by the police union.
