RE: “Cops show up.”
Forgot it was San Francisco.
The old comedy series Sledge Hammer has the detective call for police backup and three squad cars quickly screeched to the front lot of the store.
Hammer: “Guys, I am really, really impressed at how fast you responded.”
Cop: “Uh, well, we were all at the place next door. It’s a, it’s a donut shop.”
There’s no upside to doing a good job in SF or urban CA in general.
