Central

Financial District, Nob Hill, Chinatown, North Beach, Russian Hill, Telegraph Hill

Aggressive driving: Officers responded to Bay and Kearny streets at 6 p.m. April 13 on a call of a man breaking into cars. The suspect was confronted, but before he could be apprehended, he got into his vehicle and attempted to run over an officer. During the pursuit, the suspect attempted to ram another police vehicle with his own. As the suspect fled, he ran into three parked cars before he was taken into custody on various charges including aggravated assault on police, auto burglary and various traffic violations.

Cabbie robbed: Officers responded to Franklin and Vallejo streets at 2:55 a.m. April 10 regarding a cab driver being robbed. The driver told the officers that the suspect pulled out a knife on him and demanded money. The driver complied and gave the money to the suspect.

Son robs mom: Officers responded to the 800 block of Grove Street at 12:30 p.m. April 11 on an assault call. When the officers approached the area, the suspect took off running and ignored their request to stop running. Officers were able to take him into custody after a short struggle. The officers met with the victim, the suspect’s mother. The suspect, who has a drug problem, allegedly stole her DVD/VCR player. The suspect later forced his way into the house and began ransacking it. When the mother confronted him, he admitted to pawning the DVD/VCR player and demanded money for the receipt. The suspect was placed under arrest and booked.

The city used to be clean and elegant before the homeless criminals even existed and before the gang wars created by those who were in poverty and in a drug enduced stance . Now, due to litter being thrown about and people who even don't care about this city being ruined due to this lack of concern and regards to this city's internal beauty being neglected, this city is in urgent need of a make over.

Now that is downright delusional. The NRA represents law abiding gun owners who own and use guns legally- hunting, target shooting, self defense, collecting, etc. The vermin that prey on people and use guns in commission of their crimes are not NRA members, dummy. The NRA is an organization long vilified by liberals who have created a sociological nightmare with public housing complexes that are just predator factories. The killers are 99% minority and there's the rub- these are the very people that liberals love to love and thus cannot hold them accountable for the atrocities they commit. So, who can they blame? The NRA! What can they blame? The guns! Just like that airhead incompetent DA we have who just yammers on about how guns are the problem, leaving us to believe that if there were no guns we'd all be singing Kumbaya in the streets. This has been going on for years and it isn't going to stop unless the very people committing these crimes choose to change their culture.

i say be very careful because if the NRA hears about how successful their plan of delivering weapons is they might get mandatory laws to simply supply each teenager with a gun when they reach thirteen i saw a scene on the street where a mother bought toy guns for her children and they immediatly started shooting each other on child put the gun up to the second childs head and the mother stood there smiling the second child dared the first to KILL HER and the first child shot her and she fell down and then the mother got angry with the second child who got shot it will be the same mother who comes to court to say she does not know WHY the courts are acting so unfairly and the rest of us will blame it on something else so i say be very very careful the NRA has a very very strong lobby including many many politicians and wealthy persons

The Laws justify the wicked be they corporate raiders or thugs on the street. once beautiful San Francisco now some third world ghetto. People are afraid to walk the streets. No solutions on the horizon. The mayor is a grinning sellout and the D.A. is such a hypocrite. Begging for your votes and the city is a war zone. Ride Muni after dark, the drivers are scared. The worse police responce time ever recorded. Twenty minutes. Oakland has a three minute responce. The unruly kids the drunks homeless and the tweekers all have a home in the bus, on rainy or cold nights, they ride.. Smell bad, its enough to gag a maggot But the drivers have, (HAVE) to pik them up. I'm sorry San Francisco the people who live in terror and squalor don't live in Pacific Heights, but they do live in Vis Vall, Bayview, Poterro and the Mission.

What a bunch of biggots! So glad I don't live there anymore. A bunch of fakers hiding behind a liberal persona. Malcom X Elementary is a great name for a school as he is just as important to American history as any other historical figure. Most of you that wrote about that probably don't even know who he was or what he was about. I see that you are happy as long as blacks stay in the projects. They are taking from you becuase your people took so much from them for hundreds and hundreds of years.

I'm tired of all the B.S. going on here in S.F. I was born here & have watched the city go in the toilet. I live in the Portola district & started a neighborhood watch on our street. Some punks were setting off car alarms & lighting barrel bombs. I called the police & they don't bother to investigate. I got my car broken into. The police catch the kids with my stuff in a stolen car & the D.A doesn't PROSECUTE! The punks from Bayview come the the better neighborhoods to pick on the old & the young people. The police are too worried about the drug dealers & gang bangers killing eachother. I say let them, this way they are elimating themselves. I wonder if they would continue if we shoot back? I think their parents are also to blame also. They need to be taught respect for themselves & others.

"The suspect was arrested and sent to Youth Guidance Center and wrote a letter of apology to the victim." And then the little savage was set loose to commit more crimes. Perhaps if San Francisco didn't have a revolving door policy for the young animals who roam its streets robbing, beating and killing law-abiding citizens, we wouldn't have this problem. There's no redeeming these hooligans, who have no respect for anyone or any thing except the criminal cliques to which they belong. And the old liberal saw about how poverty deforms them got stale long ago.

Oakland is much much worse, and the solutions are harder because it's the youth doing all the crimes i.e shootings, robing people, selling drugs as well, raping, etc. Oakland is much smaller in size, but frisco people and oakland people hang out with each other so its a vice versa effect on both communities.

My son just got placed at Malcolm X Elementary School On April 15th, 2008, his second day of school, I couldn't leave the school because a Code Blue Lockdown - gunshots fired outside school (learned lockdowns were common at this elementary school due to gunshots outside). Why does this not get reported, but John Muir Elementary School lockdown in Hayes Valley last month makes SF Chronicle news on 3/4/08?

SF is terrible in regards to developing partnerships in related to crime prevention efforts in the city. I have been trying to establish communications to discuss these types of programs with police, city council, board of supervisors, mayor's office, local neighborhood councils or watch groups, etc., for OVER FIVE years!! What has the response been so far.....zero, zilch, zip, nada, nothing, and on and on. In the mean time crime rates remain the same and NOTHING is being done, while council is more concerned about allowing mimes to work the streets during city fair type events. Go figure.
