Not many gays in Bayview. Old time black neighborhood full of gang bangers.

Now, no homeless person will ever ever ever be shot again in San Francisco.

Uh,uh ! “Reforming” the police department will solve the city’s problems.

We’ll see.

The resignation comes after police earlier in the day fatally shot a woman in the Bayview District. Earlier in the day, Suhr said the woman was driving a stolen car and refused officers' commands to stop the car. Officers approached her on foot and she drove away. She was then shot by police.

How DARE the police use force against such a plainly upstanding citizen! It's obvious she was just getting her life together!

Geez.

Have you seen Bayview lately? In the 70’s I worked on Jerrold Avenue just south of Potrero Hill. We used to find dead bodies in the ally next to my office. And the entire area was Black and poor. Now the Facebook/Google/Silicon Valley young professionals live in the area, and all the po folks have been pushed out to somewhare else. Even Third Street is toney! These people have driven property values sky high. San Francisco is in a building boom like you’ve never seen before. And all these people get driven to and from their mid-Peninsula offices in fancy busses. I also worked for Raychem. I was hired to manage the development of the site that is now Facebook’s HQ.

Make SF a crime sanctuary city. It’s the only way.

I predict a Fergusson Effect coming soon to the Bay Area.
Be careful what you ask for, San Francisco. You just may get it, and end up making Oakland (that city you like to look down your nose at) appear well run by comparison.

Democrats are no longer soft on crime. They have adopted criminals as their newest victim group.

The law abiding citizens of these cities continue to vote for the Left. When will they see the error of their ways?

In the meantime, the Democrats have declared open season on law abiding citizens.

As a SF native I can only say I agree 100%.

A thug committing a crime is shot and a police chief is asked for his resignation.

A totally innocent woman is shot by an illegal in that sanctuary city and it’s okay.

Well you busted me. I haven’t been to Bayview in almost 20 years.I guess I shouldn’t be surprised it has gentrified with all the .com money. I had a friend that lived on Potrero Hill and went up there all the time in the 90s. It was slowly gentrifying even back then from what I recall. I moved away from the Bay Area in the 90s and remember being gobsmacked reading during the first .com bubble a NY Times story about valet parking in the Mission. That wasn’t the Mission I left. LOL.

“You mean the Sun Microsystems building in Menlo Park?”

Yes, Raychem owned that property with the intention of building their World HQ there ( they even had a model in The Sales Building that showed how the property would be developed. It was marsh land that Raychem spent millions overcharging with fill and compacting it ( much like what Caltrans did for the Dumbarton Bridge approaches). They also spent $1 million to build an underpass under the Bayfront Expressway so employees could travel between the two properties. Ultimately, we had to put a solid chain link fence in it when Sun bought the property and built “Sun Quentin.” I was by there a few days ago and noticed that FB had bought, razed and built addtional buildings on the south end of what used to be Raychem pilot plants. Now the FB employees are bicycling through that underpass. And Raychem has been bought and renamed. I feel bad for Paul Cook, the guy who founded Raychem in a garage in Redwood City a half a century ago.

This firing had nothing to do with what happened today. This dumpster fire has been going on for a while, and all of the last five or more SF Police Chiefs ended in disgrace.

Don't claim Suhr is not P.C. He was backed by Kamala Harris and others. Suhr was also indicted for onstruction of justice in 2003.

That was related to "Fajitagate" a scandal that forced two previous SF Police Chiefs to resign. Three SF police offers that were off duty beat up two civilians over fajitas.

Chief Prentice Sanders resigned over that, then Alex Fagan became police chief. He had to resign over Fajitagate as well, and one of the officers involved was his son.

The current SF DA was police chief before Suhr, and he 's in trouble because he can't stop using the N-word at work, both now and when he was police chief.

Sorry, but the SFPD has a lot of problems.
