Video shows that SFPD officers responding to a 911 call about a burglary at a pot dispensary stood by as one of the suspects left the building, jumped into a car, did a 3-point turn in front of police vehicles and drove away.https://t.co/LbsZ8j0qeY

Isn't this the way police act in your town?

This is not the SFPD standing down all by itself. These are the orders, coming from the top. The police chief is a leftist Democrat, as is the District Attorney, as is the Mayor, as is the entire Board of Supervisors. Our courts are run by Democrat judges. Voter registration is 10 to 1, Democrats to Republicans. This paradise is a preview of the paradise is coming to all American cities ( and many are much worse already). We are a society based on laws, and if the laws are ignored, this is what we get. We have no one to blame but ourselves. We voted for this.

Where are the facts to back up your claim that it is orders coming from the top?

"This paradise is a preview of the paradise is coming to all American cities."

I think not. The flash mob heists are starting to really embarrass politicians. When politicians get embarrassed, things get done. They need to crack down on that kind of stuff and I believe they will. If they don't, the backlash will get scary. Chesa could well lose the recall.

In 1996, Los Angeles recorded 709 homicides under the leadership of Republican mayor Richard Riordan and Republican Gov. Pete Wilson.

In 2019, Los Angeles had a much larger population than it had in 1996 and recorded 253 homicides under the leadership of Democratic Mayor Eric Garcetti and Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The homicide rate in @LACity is the lowest it’s been since 1962.

While this is meaningful and worth celebrating, we aren't slowing down our progress to reduce crime and keep working to our ultimate goal of zero. pic.twitter.com/pYvOAicRT4

Yes, Compton is less the N.W.A. Compton and more the George Bush Compton.

Oh no, what hysterics will await us from conservatives who don't live in SF but need to pretend that progressives are the cause of all problems in the world?

TLDR: a reported doubling in the rate of shoplifting in San Francisco was caused almost entirely by a single Target store using a new system to automate reporting. There was no more shoplifting than usual at that store; shoplifting is just very seldom reported. https://t.co/POOMWkTPrQ

Where are all of these conservative large city utopias in the US? Here is a map of the largest municipality in each state that voted for Trump in 2020, which of these is a big city that we should model SF after?

Big cities have big city problems. I don't think that the answers lie within partisan politics. Republicans have no prayer winning elections in big cities so they have gone all in on the anti urban culture war. It is what it is.

Can't wait to make S.F. more like Bakersfield!

Maybe there are some reasonable people in S.F. after all. Recall SF District Attorney Chesa Boudin.

Thanks for the explanation. But I am now having trouble understanding what that election has to do with a San Francisco Safeway having an increase in shoplifting. Biden getting elected, or Trump losing, is not responsible for what happened to Safeway, is it? Neither Biden or Trump, if he won, would then have the ability to influence or control how San Francisco handles shoplifters if arrested, or influence or control how Safeway tries to prevent shoplifting, would he? And those shoplifters don't seem to fit the profile of the unhappy Trump supporter.

After years and years of smarter-than-thee lying on these boards, Cal88 started gloating on election night about Trump's impending victory. He bragged about the bets he was going to win. He bragged about his sources.
Subsequently Trump lost and Cal88 disappeared from these boards. Now he reappears for this SF thread.

His m.o. when he is caught in a lie has been to just keep doubling down. The least Cal88 can do is acknowledge his errors the last time he engaged with us. If he can't do that, what's the point of engaging with him at all?
