San Francisco jails on lockdown, request help from National Guard amid attacks on deputies
Fox News ^ | 4/14/24 | Stepheny Price

Two San Francisco County jails were placed on lockdown Sunday afternoon and a request for help from the National Guard was issued as officials reported that attacks against jail deputies are on the rise.

"Recent incidents have shocked the community, including a sharp rise in prisoner fights, attacks on prisoners by other inmates, and injuries to both civilian employees and deputy sheriffs. These dangerous incidents underscore the pressing need for intervention to ensure the safety and security of all within the jails," The San Francisco Deputy Sheriff's Association (SFDSA) said in a statement on Sunday.

Sheriff officials reported that since March 29, at least seven staff members have been injured by inmates, including two who sustained serious injuries.

The SFDSA association's president, Ken Lomba, demanded that San Francisco city leaders request the deployment of the California National Guard to assist with staffing issues.

"I am writing to urgently address the escalating violence within the San Francisco Jails, a situation that demands immediate action," the letter read. "Given the severity of these challenges, I demand that you immediately request deployment of the California National Guard to temporarily supplement our current staffing levels."

Lomba explains that a crisis that has been worsening since 2020. He says the SFDSA stresses that the City and Sheriff’s Office must act swiftly to address this pressing issue and bolster safety and security within the jails.

In the letter, the SFDSA claimed 2023 saw at least 240 reported incidents of prisoner fights, a 58% increase from 2022, and that the reported attacks on inmates against other inmates rose 79% over the same period.

OK, that's strange. That said, how does a person end up in jail when pooping on the street is ok, theft isn't a felony until more than a thousand dollars worth of 'stuff' is taken, and addicts shoot up next to elementary schools?

Who gives a rat’s a...
Oh! You want to fix it now?
That’s why Alcatraz was built on an island.
Back in the day you sent in the National Guard with Thompsons and BARs. After it was over things got real quite.
They need to take lessons from Parchman, Angola, Cummings, and Tucker. You work - you eat, you eat - you live. You run - you die. Forget all that Hollywood Cool Hand Luke B.S. There ain’t no glory in a six foot hole.
Start with all the crooked judges and DAs, bent cops too. It don’t matter if they are red or blue and the politicians that deal and steal to make a living. We’ve let them run things to long. If you clean the $hjt out of the cracks the other will start to dry up. Dirt invites more dirt.

What did they expect? Soft on crime, thugs and punks are back on the street in hours. So, must be the really bad ones that end up in jail, the hardened ones who have probably been there before. The guards have to deal with the worst, and they are probably short on staff. Fools are running the state of Califecal and every other libtard state, and they do not talk about the mass exodus of those who want to live a safe life.

Well, it's complex and involves many different variables and factors - except for guilt or innocence. Those are irrelevant.

So... San Francisco underfunds their jails and then calls the State National Guard to risk their lives to deal with mayhem in the prison?

Sounds like the local police have been too smart for a while.

"We're dispatching you to the jail."

"Cough, cough. I have the COVID. You'll have to get someone else to go."

The recent re introduction of wild wolfs into the rural areas of Colorado gave me a great idea;

In all west coast areas where there is a severe homeless problem, “re-introduce” the Grizzly Bear population to grow and thrive on the homeless!

Homeless problem solved!

Of course we would then have the problem of a huge population of Grizzly Bears addicted on meth and fentanyl laced homeless people, but that would be easier to deal with than democrats.
