Childs has worked for the city for about five years. One official with knowledge of the case said he had been disciplined on the job in recent months for poor performance and that his supervisors had tried to fire him.
"They weren't able to do it - this was kind of his insurance policy," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the attempted firing was a personnel matter.

Quote:
At a news conference announcing Childs' arrest, District Attorney Kamala Harris was tightlipped about what his motive may have been.
"Motive is not necessarily an element of a crime," Harris said. "This city employee committed four felonies."

Somethings fishy in the bay. He doesn't look to be part of a Union... so why did they fail to fire a 5 year employee? Weren't able to do it because he threatened them with locking them out? In that case, they are idiots. You have an employee that is obviously unhappy with his job, not performing, and a failed firing attempt... what do you think he's going to do? Nothing?
I like how DA Harris says motive is not part of a crime... uh... what? It sounds like there's something being hidden here... Did he get some dirt on higher ups in the SF political circle and try blackmailing?
