An undersheriff for San Francisco later stated: "The more I observed what went on at the jail, the more I began to stop seeing what Dan White did as the act of an individual and began to see it as a political act in a political movement."
En undersheriff för San Francisco sade: "ju mer jag observerade vad som hände i fängelset ju mer slutade jag se det Dan White gjorde som en individuell handling och jag började se det som en politisk aktion i en politisk rörelse".
