Ah yes, the "police state" bunch. People like you are what is wrong with my beautiful city. Seeing cops as a necessary evil until you need them. Typical liberal blather from yet another clueless leftist. Believe me, the cops have a tough time doing their jobs in this town because liberals not only encourage bad behavior by not wanting to send thugs to prison, but you criticize and blame the cops for being racist profilers. 90% of the murderers in SF are black and 75% of all violent crime is committed by black suspects. When the cops are given suspect descriptions that are inconvenient to liberals, like "black male assaults white female" these very same liberals go out of their way to protest that NOT ALL BLACKS are criminals. Well duh. But this coddling of criminals by the liberals for fear of seeming "mean" at the risk of holding these thugs accountable is killing my beautiful city. Get a clue, realize the cops are on your side, lose the hate, and step away from the bong.

We don't hear when the police commit their own crimes. Perhaps not a crime, but I witnessed them setting a bad precedent for their new police recruits. At their training facility in the Diamond Heights neighborhood of San Francisco the police riding both on motorcycles and in unmarked police cars herded their recruits in the middle of Diamond Heights Blvd not allowing any traffic to pass. I didn't know the police were above the law? It doesn't set a good example for those new recruits because now they believe when they become police they will be able to do the same types of thing. Can anyone say police state?

Does all the police news get reported? I saw what appeared to be a pedestrian/vehicle incident at the same corner where at teen was permanently injured last year. The Shaws corner of El Camino Real. I think its important for the public to know about these incidents both to increase knowledge of existing laws to improve pedestrian safety and to improve awareness so people are driving more cautiously. I heard that police departments don't always like to realize their cities "bad news" but I believe the news media has a duty to make it known.
