SAN FRANCISCO-CA --- In 2007, the last reporting period. the California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported 28 pedestrians fatalities, 440 cyclists injured, a total of 52 people killed in traffic accidents in San Francisco.
Now, it's reported today that the city will no longer enforce the law for first time offenders of driving without a license. Worse, the new police chief endorses the proposal.
San Francisco Police Chief Gascon is quoted as saying that the city is "trying to be sensitive to all of the communities we serve..."We recognize that this is a problem within the Hispanic community, where people working here can't get a driver's license because of their immigration status," Gascón said.
The police chief might want to develop some sensitivity to the 3,632 who were injured in traffic accidents in San Francisco or the five deaths and 346 motorcyclists' injuries, reported by the CHP. Traffic injuries are on the rise.

They are offending Americans, who they are supposed to be serving! It’s time to fire employees who don’t do their jobs.
How about first offenses for possessing a firearm that is banned under California law, if no one is injured? I’m sure the chief won’t mind those violations either, at least if the “crime” (how do we even define crime any more?) is committed by an illegal alien.
Hardliner??? LOL!!! I live here in Mesa, AZ, where that joke just left.
Paging John Semmens...
We don’t need no stinking traffic laws!!!
So? The drivers that can’t hack it will roll down the hills into the bay. Darwinism in action.
I posted this on the wrong thread!!!! It belongs here;(
Just reading through the topics. Those of us who resent and resist the gubmit telling us what to do, when to do it and how much tribute to pay should immediately learn Spanish, lose our SS numbers, stop paying taxes, work *off* the books, get treated at emergency rooms, buy guns and ammo, lose our drivers’ licenses, forfeit auto insurance and just drive around nekkid. The residents of the US with the most freedom and liberty are illegal aliens.
Their only concession to the law is God’s law and their contribution to American life is their Catholic faith. It seems to work!
So, let’s join hands with them and salute their individualism.
It's not the water - it's corruption beyond anything law-abiding citizens could ever have thought possible:
. Homeland Security telling Sheriff Joe not to enforce immigration law;
. San Francisco opting to appease illegal alien backing activist groups and not enforce driver licensing
. US borders largely unsecured;
. Ramos and Compeon still not officially pardoned for protecting our nation's border while authorities pimped for the drug runner;
The amnesty bill cannot be far away! But then again, the year is not yet over.
My dear sainted mother learned to drive this way, getting into a car and having at it. Of course, this was a LONG time ago in very small-town Midwest at 10-15 MPH max.
So, what happens if you offend an illegal immigrant? Do they get all huffy and go home?
The folks in SF Gubamint are crazy and dangerous to the public.
FRom the Mayor to the Stuporvisors, add the DA Gang-protecting crew that is running this city into the bay and slime.
a perfect mess.
Yeah, you wish. More likely they speed dial the ACLU and sue.
Cinqo de Mayo in the Mission District: You’d better drive a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, oooooh boy!
Like 1/2 of them are drunk driving..!
It’s like they can FEEL that no rules apply..it’s cultural, see?
Same for those MEN during the Folsom Street Fair...
