More entertaining news from San Francisco.

Renee does say she does not want to escalate the firepower on the streets.

Renee is a worthless POS.

[jakerobins]

So Renee you admit your department is corrupt? But that's not the problem it's the guns? Right. Something tells me SF is going to become so bad were just going to have to seal it off and firebomb the place.

"Renee does say she does not want to escalate the firepower on the streets."

Yeah, the city is so much safer when only the criminals are well-armed!! Is this nutcase for real?? She thinks it should be city policy that criminals must out-gun the police because otherwise it would require an eviiiiil "escalation" of armaments?

It's really too bad because it is a beautiful city. Would be a near-perfect place except for the people who live there. I was over there this summer for the first time and was struck by the number of crazy people walking around on the streets. They would haggle you, harass you, and try to impede your walking. At one point, we saw a woman beating the shit out of a crazy person with her purse...not sure what was going on there, but there are a lot of crazy people around. A lot like DC, but I found it worse.

If I was SFPD, I would walk around some of those neighborhoods with no LESS than an AR-15.

"...the flow of these weapons in the gun stream..."

The gun stream? She must be high. What a moron.

[CAWats]

>It's really too bad because it is a beautiful city.

It truly is.

[demlosers]

In a city outgunned by criminals on the street, the San Francisco police department may have missed its chance to upgrade its arsenal.

I thought San Fran was an anti-gun utopia?

[Drammach]

The gun stream? She must be high. What a moron.

No, No...
You see, the gun stream is a tributary of the assault rifle river, which flows into Deadly Weapons Bay..

She is a woman of great wisdom...
Listen to her words and learn, grasshopper...
( sarc.. off...)

This is amazing!!!!

SFPD is about 10 years behind the curve on this.

Perhaps that Incompetent Administration would like the troops to simply throw pink hankies at the bad guys.

The 'gun stream' is a high-altitude current of ugly black weapons which ensure that tuna can be caught in Kyoto and piranha can be harvested in Brazil.

If the 'gun stream' were cut off or impeded, the polar ice caps would melt, polar bears would be forced into foraging in McDonald's dumpsters, and Christmas would be in July. You do NOT want to mess with the 'gun stream'. Especially in SF. God knows what would happen to all the crazy purse-beaters on the Day After Tomorrow.

[SFC Chromey]

At the SM County Fair last week I asked the three SFPD recruiters there, how the heck can they show up for their jobs day in and day out with no support from the city 'leaders'. They all looked blankly at me and said, there are nooo problems in SF with the city!

We all had a good laugh at that!

[ApplegateRanch]

God knows what would happen to all the crazy purse-beaters on the Day After Tomorrow.

They would go through The Door Into Summer, and disappear Beyond The Sunset?

[Sender]

That is a distinct possibility. And diversity would suffer! Don't mess with the gun stream! SF cops should standardize on healing crystals.

[Thunder90]

Maby the SFPD would have to use these...

[BallyBill]

Where is Dirty Harry when you need him.

LOL. There's a video game called "Grand Theft Auto" #?(I forget the sequel number) where you play a criminal in different cities. One of the cities is SF, and in that city, the police never fire on you or try to arrest, they just keep following you around and ask you to talk to them about your feeeeeelings.

It's truly hilarious!

[Youngman442002]

The police right now are fighting the city and the papers because of chasing a criminal...in a car chase where one of the policeman died..the criminal had a very long arrest record...bonded out several times..no shows...breaks parole...but is still on the street...its the judges fault too....now the police want to stand down...I hope they do...San Francisco sucks...pun intended

[beltfed308]

Three years ago, the military donated 100 M-16's to the SFPD to be converted to AR-15 rifles.

In other words NFA weapons. Once a machine gun always a MG according to the ATF.

[SFC Chromey]

That is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. That is classic, I haven't played it yet, but I will now!
