There are many cops out there who were drug dealers themselves and continue to play the game. They steal money from dealers and never confiscate the drugs themselves. The cops won't step near the real ghettos, b/c they have Ak 47's and will blow up the cops...drugs are illegal b/c the CIA sells them to pay for illegal wars, remember the CONTRAS...people need to wake up and stop being so lame. SF is a tame City compared to West Oakland, Richmond, Down Town LA... ANd..how is SF so F--ing liberal ? There are few low income people living here anymore...few of anybody that doesn't have a tech or sales of tech, type job... Having known some dealers, myself, I know that there are a lot of white collar folks out there buying LARGE quantities of pot and cocaine from the same sources are the TL gangs get theirs... If you're poor, you smoke crack and drink malt liquour...if you're wealthy, or middle class, you drink too much Kettle One and still smack your wife down...bitches

This was NOT a homeless person - he was my best friend, and an upstanding individual and resident of SF. How is it you are so quick to assume that death in a park only is a fate of the homeless? I am trying to get the facts surrounding the event and welcome assistance.

How does Sheriff Hennessey get elected over and over again? Seems like he's doing an awful job. Anyone else remember when he and Gavin "secretly" released all of those thugs from the prison a while back? He always blames the budget mess on his problems. Sad that San Jose has such a lower crime rate then we do. Gavin needs to haul his sorry ass down to the the south bay and see what they are doing that we are not. We have one of the worst police forces in the country. Even filing a report is a nightmare. San Franciscans deserve much better. And by the way, why is Heather Fong still on the job? As with Kamala Harris, she's clearly unqualified. We can look at our own president and see what damage an unqualified idiot can do. Would anyone want anything less than the best surgeon operating on them? Why is it that we settle for less with our police chief, mayor, district attorney, etc?

Saturday night there were at least thirty police, a dozen squad cars and two paddy wagons involved in a major confrontation at Whispers Club between Florida and Mariposa Streets. There is nothing in the police blotter or the newspapers about it. This is a regular occurance at both Whispers and the club across the street. There is more violence and public urination from the drunk (usually underaged with fake ID) suburbunites that are bussed in to our neighborhood than any problems we have with the homeless. Circolo has an after hours permit for "cello music" and yet the police do nothing about the complaints of loud loud music coming out of the club until the wee hours. These people contribute nothing but filth and violence to our wonderful neighborhood. There has to be an end to the destruction caused by these two clubs.

The drug war uses too much money for enforcement and too little for treatmant and job programs. Drugs are a health problem as well as a criminal problem. I think laisse faire libertarians have as much to do with the problem as us bleeding heart liberals. The rate of meth lab production reflects the education our prisoners get while incarcerated. Crank 101 is taught to every prisoner yet how mnany leave prison expecting to work? very few and the prison guard union contributes more to Swartzenegger and Co. than the teachers and the nurses combined.

When you have a Police Commission who spends more time trying to please the ACLU and no time discussing strategies or ideas to combat crime, then what you get is what we have now, more homicides and no solutions. The Board of Supervisors and the police Commission should alow the Police to do their jobs by giving them the tools necessary to complete the task rather than trying to find various ways to disipline, punsish and scorn them. If that is not possible, then Supervisors Daly, Ammiano, Mirkarimi, Commissioners Sparks, Vernosese, Marshall and the rest should don the uniform and do the jobs themselves. Maybe some of the ACLU attorneys can join also, if they have the courage to get out from behind their safe desks.

Wait a minute. You want drug sales to continue unabated because the "war on drugs" is lost and it is being consumed by consenting adults. Then you want extra cops on foot patrol to enter "crack zones" to deprive these same consenting adults from engaging in using drugs. Rampant drug use is a byproduct of a permissive, la-di-da attitude that is sadly so pervasive in SF. It wasn't always this bad folks. As my beautiful city of the last 66 years moves more and more to the left, unconscionable attitudes towards dealing with drugs, crime and homelessness allow these ills to metastasize like a cancer. All because of well meaning yet misguided people who fear moderate approaches (which puts the onus on those they hope to change to actually take some responsibility for their actions). Giving criminals chances they never gave their victims is wrong, as is a hands-off approach to letting drug users do whatever they want no matter who they offend, victimize, or disappoint.

1. Require Mandatory Random Drug Tests & pre-hire violence/theft background checks for ALL SRO & Shelter Staff; Managers. This stops MOST abuse, drug dealing & crimes by gangs/thugs now operating INSIDE SRO's & Shelters & Housing Groups. Residents will be safer inside SRO's & Shelters. Will reduce violence; theft of food & property. Saves us millions in waste, theft & embezzlement. Prevents most erroneous evictions, rent thefts, denials of service, etc. Gives incentive to street homeless to get off streets & into safe, clean shelters & SRO's. 2. Put Police Foot Patrols back into all violence & crack zones. This rebuilds 'community relations' of local beat cops & residents. Their presence reduces street crime & violence. 3. Fund safe, affordable housing for ALL San Franciscans. Saves us money on gas guzzling, time wasting commutes. Stabilizes community. 4. Stop lying about homelessness. Corrupt providers + agencies are the Problem. QForMayor.org

Clogging up the prisons and jails with these non violent drug offenders is absolutely ludicrous and a waste of taxpayer money. Get a clue people, our society is not going to stop choosing to alter their consciousness on occasion, or on a bad day. If they are consenting adults why should anyone care?

How about the City gets rid of public housing. It had served its purpose in giving shipyard workers a place to live while working in the yards but now it has become a haven for the criminal element. Its even unfair to those residents who are law abiding and living in fear. Its time to get rid of all the public housing and build more sustainable properities on that land. Even give a chance to the law-abiding residents a shot of owning a home instead of renting.

Observant Observer said:
From my experience, the cops are doing their jobs. The problem is a cop-hostile media (know who Susan Sward is?), cop-hostile public in many areas, and general anti-cop political atmosphere. Cops patrol and try to prevent crimes but the criminal element isn't always so catchable. Catching you with a six pack and not calling your parents was a good thing, I believe. But we have to look at law enforcement in its totality. The cops are busting felons left and right by Harris isn't sending them to prison. This has a detrimental effect on cop's morale but they still show up every day doing an often thankless job. Try getting to know a cop or two and you'll see it ain't like on TV, unless you're watching Cops or The First 48.

why don't the police and their higher powers spend more time preventing crime than arriving at the scene of the crime. A cop once confiscated a six pack from me when I was in high school and told me "he's got better things to do than bust a kid for drinking." Well. What else are they doing? Not preventing gang violence. Instead of going straight for Harris, start from the bottom up. Make cops do their job.

The cops are arresting the same losers over and over again and nothing happens. Why should the cops bother with drug dealers, homeless or anyone else except for the worst of the worst when 1) there's a batallion of bleeding heart lawyers who are more than eager to volunteer their time to defend miscreants, 2) the DA's office won't bother to prosecute most cases, 3) SF judges are ideologically opposed to, or can't be bothered to, mete out meaningful punishment, 4) SF juries are known to be the most liberal in the country and often don't find criminals guilty. Let the criminals run about and victimize folks living in neighborhoods outside the "containment zones - 'loin, Western Addition, Mission, Bayview-Hunters Point" and then we might see a change.

Being an apologist for ongoing bad behavior makes you look entirely foolish. No, blacks don't "wake up one day" and start their assaults, but this is learned behavior that is promoted and encouraged by their elders. Those Jena 6 thugs are typical of what we see from black youths. I would LOVE to stop seeing color but when it's thrust in our faces every day by the very people who say there isn't a problem, well, the emperor doesn't have any clothes.

It like this, everything has a starting point, and ending point. In other words, people (black people) dont just wake up one day and say.."let me go beat up white people, and be rude, and etc.." There had to be something happen before hand to end up with this as a result. Maybe they only have a one parent (mom) household, so no dad to keep the kids in line. Maybe no parents, only grandparents, older people cant keep up with young punks (any race). Who knows, there are A LOT of young black children who are respectful, educated, clean, polite etc..and dont go out in public and embarrass theirself or their race. Just as there are A LOT of WHITE and other race of children who commit crimes as..Robbery, Rape, Theft, Murder, even Eating their victims...what about that ????? WAKE UP PEOPLE....STOP SEEING COLOR, AND SEE A HUMAN RACE...ONLY WE AS A WHOLE CAN MAKE THINGS BETTER BY STICKING TOGETHER, NOT CONSTANTLY SEPARATING, NAME CALLING, AND JUDGING.

Why do we have to "examine" why there are so many blacks in prison? There is no equally set percentage of criminality among the races- blacks simply commit more crimes than others with Hispanics next, then whites, then Asians. It isn't rocket science. Get out and see for yourselves. Throughout my day I invariably see blacks of all ages being pushy, loud, inconsiderate, and ready to assault someone for any reason. Why? No one is "keeping them down" in SF or anywhere else. It's because they can get away with it. This is an intergenerational problem that is only getting worse as more people overlook and excuse this pathetic behavior. Once people get comfy knowing they can push people around with no consequences, they will just be emboldened to keep doing it and getting more and more violent along the way. Look at the violent Jena 6 stomping a white kid who had nothing to do with hanging those nooses in a tree. Attacked because of his skin color yet these 6 thugs are heroes!

We have to examine why it is that black people are in prisons at a higher percentage and convicted of crimes at a higher percentage. It is relax and stop think and blame in on something biological. But the truth of the matter is that it is entirely more of a systematic problem that is truly built on social infrastructure build on racist ideology and perceptions. We can't forget our past, there may be laws that have changed, that does not mean that people or perceptions have. In that case white people are evil, they have wiped out complete cultures, nations, and people. Now isn't that notice ridicules. Thin about it.........

It's great that SF is a liberal town? It's because of liberalism that we have the social ills at the levels we do. Liberals don't want to go against their "if it feels good, do it/if it doesn't affect me, go for it" attitudes and this translates into street scum making life miserable for the residents. SF needs to put the brakes on its out of control liberalism when it comes to dealing with crime. Want to have a bong in every home? Fine. Vote the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence as your Supervisors? Super. But jeez louise everyone, when it comes to getting vicious parasites off of our streets PLEASE vote for a DA that will do that! You can only empathize with these miscreants enough, give them chance after chance with false expectations that they will change. They are recidivists because it works!

Blacks get most of the attention because the cops deal with primarily black suspects in crimes. Sure, there are the Surenos and Nortenos gangs, domestic violence abusers come in all colors, etc but come on. There are many references online that show the violent crimes nationwide attributed to blacks no matter what their population is in whatever town they live in. Blacks have a big time image problem because of the anti-social behavior so many choose to live by. When I had jury duty, every defendant in orange clothing that I saw at the Hall of Justice was black. Crime DOES know color and sadly it is predominantly black people committing crime after crime after crime. Not all blacks, no one is saying that. But any objective look at who's doing the killing, assaulting, robbing, raping, kidnaping, etc and you will see it's likely a black person at fault. An inconvenient truth that defies political correctness, but the truth is the truth.

It is EXCATLY due to the sad fact that this is such a damn Liberal town that crime has increased overall over the last 20 years and a once proud and nice city has gone down the toilet. Get rid of the bums, druggies, and illegal aliens, and I guarantee you crime would be reduced by almost 40%. Aren't you tired of your car being busted into? Then time to get to work on the ghetto slime who are slaughtering each other and turning neighborhoods into war zones. NEWS FLASH: The projects and most of the Fillmore and Bayview/ Hunter's Point areas have been war zones since the late 1950's. No suprise there.

Yesterday a pedestrian was killed at Townsend and 3rd streets. Where is the report about this? My understanding is that the pedestrian was struck down by a motorist.

Examiner Reader said: "Enough of the moral outrage from the people of SF. None of you really care about the black on black crime, the homelesness or the other issues. Harris and Newsom are both running unopposed....If you want a change to the crime rate, get rid of them and ge someone who will do something instead talk." *** Welp, ya got me there... I DON'T care about a bunch of thugs killing each other and I DON'T have any sympathy for people who come here thinking it's a 24-hour city-subsidized shooting gallery. I do want change and I am all for getting rid of Newsom and the beyond useless Harris. The only way to make it worse would be to elect a so-called "progressive" (read: Socialist) into either of these positions. A recent article in USA showed that 91% of the murder victims in Baltimore had criminal records. I'm sure it's the same here. Bullets flying everywhere is not good, but since it's criminals killing each other, I find it VERY hard to care.

I think the cops seem disinterested because they know it isn't worth going after drug dealers. They simply won't get prosecuted. I'll disagree that it is "great" that SF is liberal; people come here from all over the country with liberal, la-de-da, carefree ideals thinking SF is stuck in some 1968 time warp. When they get here it's a different story of course. If the cops knew their arrests mattered, I'm sure the aforementioned district attorney would have a lot more caseload because they'd see an increase in arrests. Liberals, put down the bong and realize that criminals see SF as a target rich environment, knowing they have much sympathy from well to do, weepy white people who don't want to seem racist when it comes to sentencing.

The people who are to blame for the continued violence in SF are the Mayor,that terrible District Attorney and the police. If I walk through the Tenderloin I see blatent drug dealing at the same place all the time. What do the cops do, nothing. I have actually seen them drive right by. Not only that there is a tremendous amount of scum in the Western Addition who do their illegals activities just steps away from the cop shop!!!! It is great that SF is a liberal town but not at the cost of letting thugs getting away with literal murder.
