Any time there is even the slightest reduction in crime, police take credit for it, with zero evidence that they had any impact on it.
When crime rises after the same police action, police never take responsibility. It’s an accountability free zone.

A cop on every corner is a police state. And if the cops aren’t doing anything for public safety, it’s a huge performative waste of taxpayer money. Which is often the case when police are deployed for political purposes. The question as to whether that is legitimate is fair.

Nobody is trying to address the underlying causes of crime so it doesn't happen again. Just mass incarcerate their way out of it. Which will fail.

The best thing about Kamala running for president is that it ends Newsom’s chance of running for president for at least 20 years.
He’s just lashing out like a tired little baby now

I love how a nice post about San Francisco draws out all the absolutely loony far right losers in the replies.
We get it, shit didn't work out for you in life. Move on.
We just got back home from 2 days in San Francisco exploring different neighborhoods & riding public transit on buses, cable cars, & street cars. Reports of the city being a lawless cesspool are flat out wrong. It is still one of the most charming & beautiful cities in the world.
