Pretty sure the giant #SFPD command never at 16th St would be way, way more effective as a community improvement service if it were instead a food truck.

The sidewalk paint memorial is referencing the notorious 1934 West Coast longshoremen’s strike. The fallout of the assault by #SFPD became a catalyst for public support of unions in San Francisco and led to the unionization of all of ports on the West Coast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1934_West_Coast_waterfront_strike
Pointless over policing by #SFPD making residents’ lives much worse. We’ve seen a marked increase in drug activity on our street since the cops occupied the plaza. Once the cops leave and collect their overtime, the plaza will return to the way it was.
Well this is dumb.
Shouldn’t they be guarding a Tesla dealership instead?

I wonder if anyone keeps stats on SFPD's car chases that _don't_ result in significant damage to people and local businesses? The only ones I ever hear about are when someone gets killed when the suspect and/or police almost inevitably crash into a building.

San Francisco police staffing is at a historic low. So is its crime rate.

S.F. pedestrian killed by police driver

Definitely one of my biggest concerns out in the western part of the city: “Nobody here stops at the stop signs let alone the crosswalks — sometimes drivers don’t even slow down — and you can’t see a small child over the hood of a tank-like vehicle.“

"“So right now, the #drones are in use — are we operating in violation of state law?” Yes, they are, As we said 9 months ago. #SFPD https://oaklandprivacy.org/london-breeds-prop-e-may-violate-state-law/
Just heard SFPD scold a cyclist over their cruisers loudspeaker to "next time, wait until the light turns green". I presume this was after they crossed with the leading pedestrian signal, which was explicitly made legal in California as of Jan. 2024. (And is far safer than waiting for a turning vehicle to hook you)
You can imagine my shock that these dumbass cops don't know the laws they're supposedly enforcing.

FWIW, failure to enforce hazardous moving violations has resulted in my observing far more disregard for stop signs, traffic lights, and stopping before right on red.
#SFPD and the Mayor's tolerance of SFPD's lack of traffic enforcement are contributing to more dangerous driving behaviors.
