I was robbed at gunpoint for my iPhone at El Cerrito Del Norte Bart, and the Bart police were very helpful and quick. They along with El Cerrito police caught the youngsters with the loot and the gun.

SF police responded remarkably fast when a dude frantically rang our doorbell last week after having been carjacked. Cops were there within 5 minutes calling 911. Not bad!

Here's the thing, though: I've lived in SF for over a decade now and I've had my run-ins with the SFPD (both as a "criminal" and as a victim) but I can't imagine a brush off like that from an SF officer. They can be Keystone-Cop fuck ups, but they're not that bad. Anyway. The phrase "blogosphere comrade" made me feel good. Thanks. Here's the actual mugging.

OPD, I feel their pain along with the victim’s. But what about SF?

San Francisco has roughly 2400 police. For forty nine square miles. Do the math people. That mean we could basically have hyper-local community policing, with 45 cops assigned to each *square* mile. Imagine. In those numbers, they could help you find your lost shoes, not to mention helping with any other remotely possible need you might dream up.

Instead, what we get is an invisible gas, wafting behind Ford plate glass.

Its ludicrous.
