Mission Wackos Vs. Pier 39 Fanny Packs: Open Letter to SFPD

Over at Muni Diaries, Tara offers some friendly advice:

I get how police can’t be everywhere at aufblasbares zelt once and how crime is sometimes very random. But there is a proven halo effect around police stations (and cops), so I’d appreciate seeing you more near those wackos in the Mission than near the fanny packs in Pier 39.
