Community Policing in San Francisco

by Francisco Da Costa
With the recent murders, shootings, killings, and general increase in crime the City and County of San Francisco should have declared an Emergency when it homes to Health and Safety. All over the City of San Francisco innocent hard working folks are afraid that they may fall victim to crime. In the interim Mayor Gavin Newsom is making excuses and those entities that should maintain Law and Order are pointing fingers and not taking full responsibility for the dire consequences on their time and duty. The same can be said of the SF Board of Supervisors.
In any City if the Health and Safety of the constituents were in peril the Mayor of any City would take strict measures to remedy the situation. May be declare a State of Emergency.

Here is San Francisco over 65 people have died from shootings, killings, violent crime, and other very serious issues affecting the Health and Safety of our City. Innocent, hard working constituents are afraid to go out especially in places where gun fire is heard more and less fire works.

In the interim the City cannot define Community Policing.

The Board of Supervisor are a joke - the talk the talk but cannot walk the walk.

The same with the District Attorney, Congressperson Nancy Pelosi, and the two Senators that are not worth their salt.

If some Whites had been shot and killed in large numbers there would have been a hue and cry.

Inept managers are brought in from Chicago to manage the Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ). David Onek is leaving the MOCJ - prior to that David Mauroff could not see the nonsense around him and left.

Mayor Gavin Newsom is playing with fire and should take full responsibility for the said State of Affairs.

He once went on Air and stated that if the crime and violence did not improve in San Francisco he would resign and if a petition was passed around to remove him because of it - he would be the first to sign it.

The man talks from both sides of his mouth. This sissy Mayor cannot think like a real man.

The City must awake up and do something:

I really don't know which is worse. Racist, murdering cops who drive in from Petaluma, or racist, murdering cops who live right here in my own community!

No amount of policing will stop the killing. Bringing in armed gang members (all wearing thre same colors, all driving the same black and white cars with sirens on top, selling drugs in the community, infliucting violence on the community...) is NOT a solution.

What you know and I know and everyone knows is that the only way to stop the killing is to create long-term economic opportunity for youth in those areas where violence is rampant.

Of course, everytime a black leader emerges with a realistic program for change, they get murdered, leaving us with media whores (Jesse Jackson) and wacko UFO-ologists (Farrakhan) for leadership.

If the police were to truly do their job, Newsom would be in jail right now from acts of genocide against the African-American coimmunity in SF. Will having armed racist thugs living in our communities bring that on any faster? Unlikely.
