San Francisco’s much maligned homicide clearance rate is in the spotlight as the French government has stepped into a cold case murder occurring in the city two years ago.
The inquiry comes on the heels of the “unusual” case of a Jewish activist who managed to fall through to his death via a disabled elevator shaft.
San Francisco’s 800 plus unsolved murders rate ranks as one of the highest in the nation.

Did Monk quit?
Paging Inspector Callahan! LOL.
What a joke San Fran is.
progressive MEANS failed, stupid policies, encouraging crime, etc.
I believe it is “judgmental” and “hateful” to actually blame someone for a murder.
Sow....Reap.
Could anyone imagine Inspector Callahan working on San Fran today?
Nope first time he pulls out his 44 he would be thrown off the force..
Anyway, getting beyond his bizarre beliefs about panties on heads and so on, I looked up several things he'd written that are elsewhere on the net.
One of those was a discussion of what a nationstate must do regarding private individuals who undertake to torture people. It turns out the Head of State and other government officials, et al (e.g. Cabinet members, Representatives, Senators, Governors, Mayors ~ even mayors and city council members of San Francisco) can be held accountable in international tribunals for such things.
No doubt murder is "torture" by anyone's definition, and there you have 800 unsolved murders in San Francisco and apparantly no one wants to solve them or do anything to prevent more of them.
Just adding up the numbers here we got Newsome (the mayor), Pelosi (the Congress critter), Boxer and Feinstein (Senators), Schwarzenegger (Governor) and Obama (President) who can logically be held accountable for this sad state of affairs and handed over to an international tribunal for trial.
I say GO FOR IT!@
Maybe all the Rump Rangers should carry real guns.
“They are NOT murderers! They are adherents of Alternative Hunting!”
SF sounds reminds me of the Bahamas and Aruba.
You ought to see other major cities in other states. Most major cities in other states make San Francisco look safe.
Here is one mid-western city for example.

Point is SF, which used to be comparatively crime free, is trending in the wrong direction under the clowns currently in charge.
This is what happens when the liberals make the police department a subject for social experimentation and then totally handcuff it with political correctness. Just watch what Obama and company is going to do to the military!
what the hell does that mean?
There is no mystery in that case.
The murdered guy was Jewish and he was going to Arabic classes taught by muslims, at one of which he was pushed down an elevator.
The only question is: which if the savages did it?
When the SF mayor puts out ‘public service’ announcements that they welcome ALL illegal aliens and refuses to let LEO’s even question the gangbangers....extreme crime is what you get.

You ought to see major cities like St. Louis...It makes San Francisco look like a walk through a church picnic on a clear spring day.
You know you’re in trouble when Inspector Clouseau has to take over your case.
This is state sponsorship of private terrorism according to UN standards (murder being torture, and San Fran being the "state" that's not bothering to investigate to solve cases or prevent murder).
No wonder France is looking into this!
Obama should be putting San Francisco on the State Department's "Watch List" and warning government employees to not visit the place.
either the graph or the table is wrong on robbery
Hey, it’s open season in San Fransicko.
Perhaps you should read and examine the posts a little closer prior to typing or commenting.
In #13 I was responding to "PrairieFireConservative" statement below.
""The crime rate in progressive San Francisco is now an international embarrassment""
That is why I commented that San Francisco's crime rates are actually very small in comparison to major cities in other states.
What did the French Do?
Do you have any links to articles?
“You ought to see major cities like St. Louis...It makes San Francisco look like a walk through a church picnic on a clear spring day.”
The “city” of St. Louis crime rate is due almost entirely to the black population. The surrounding mostly white suburbs are as safe as nearly anywhere in the country.
Does the hideously expensive city of San Francisco have a large black ghetto? Certainly not on the scale of St. Louis.
Therein lies the difference.
Whether the rates are too high or too low, there's not enough information in the article to determine that ~ but even if they're low, that's no reason to give up investigating crime!
Besides, I think the mayor and his council should be imprisoned anyway, and this torture angle fits the bill for getting that accomplished.
- Violation: Possesion of non-issued weapon
- Violation: Use of term "hammerhead" violates City proclamation of non-judgemental language
- Violation: Damage to school bus roof caused by use of non-approved pursuit procedure, to be taken out of salary
- Violation: 1973 Ford LTD exceeds current EPA emission limits
- Violation: Many violations of SFPD mobile-pursuit directives
- Violation: Insensitivity toward Asian-American partner
etc...
The “city” of St. Louis crime rate is due almost entirely to the black population. Therein lies the difference.
Hmmm.
Los Angeles for example has well over *double* the black population of St. Louis, yet the crime in St. Louis is considerably worse than Los Angeles.
As a matter of fact, St. Louis exceeds Los Angeles in every single major crime category than Los Angeles, and LA has over double the black population than St. Louis.
