San Francisco drops out of FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force
Hot Air ^ | 3 Mar 2017 | John Sexton

The Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) is a partnership between local police and the FBI aimed at uncovering and preventing terrorist plots before they happen. Last week the city of San Francisco announced it was suspending its cooperation with the JTTF. From Fox News:

“In my opinion, the decision by the mayor and the police chief to withdraw the San Francisco Police Department from the JTTF is really narrow-minded,” said Mark Rossini, a retired FBI special agent, and founding executive of the National Counterterrorism Center, who served as a representative to the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center. “Politics aside, and the mayor and leaders of San Francisco have their right to their opinion, political opinion and beliefs. But when you’re working in law enforcement, law enforcement should know no politics.”

The FBI leads the 104 Joint Terrorism Task Force units across the country, but the majority of intelligence about crime and terror comes from local sources, said Claude Arnold, a former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations, who worked in California.

“There is less chance of uncovering networks, plots, missing pieces of a puzzle, without cities participating in the JTTF,” Arnold said.

The 10-year old memorandum of understanding on which the JTTF partnership in San Francisco was based was already set to expire in March. Last week the city’s new police chief announced unexpectedly that he was suspending the agreement a month early. Officially, his decision has nothing to do with President Trump, but it just happens to coincide with the city holding meeting with activists who are concerned the agreement could be used by the new administration to target Muslims. From ABC 7 San Francisco:

“Donald Trump made very clear that he was going to be targeting Muslims and he wants mass Muslim surveillance and part of the work done with the JTTF could feed into this horrible Muslim registry, they’re talking about,” said retired attorney John Crew, who fights for civil liberty issues…

“Surveillance targeting any community today the Muslim community is a danger to all Americans,” said Zahara Billo of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “Because what it does is lower the standards by which our government can come after us.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SF protects illegal aliens...and now they protect potential terrorists?

How can people be so blind to not see the threat Islam brings? You would think that with Muslims behind the vast majority of terrorist attacks, that they would be able to connect the dots. Just another reason to not travel to or bring business to that twisted city.

The payoff line:

“.... decision has nothing to do with President Trump, but it just happens to coincide with the city holding meeting with activists.”

Notice how the media cleverly notes it has nothing to do with Trump - while clearly implying it has EVERYTHING to do w/Trump

SF makes a bet: If you are nice to terrorists, they will be nice to you.

We anxiously await the outcome of the experiment. But in the meantime I’m going no further north than Carmel. I may drop by and say hello to my old buddy, Mr. “Go ahead, make my day”. We’ll talk about the good old days in what was once a great city.

It’s amazing to watch people do things that put themselves and their populace at risk.

Illegal immigrant crime and Islamic terrorism risk is elevated by these types of actions.

Then when something happens, they remain silent. There’s no “I’m sorry” or “We should change that...” They just go on doing stupid things that will cost more lives.

That young woman who was shot dead in front of her father in San Francisco didn’t cause a ripple in their thinking.

It just doesn’t matter how many people get killed or lives get ruined.

They knew there would be casualties in the war on Western Civilization.

Roll out that red carpet for terrorists, Fag City. But don’t expect any sympathy when you are attacked.

Is this a sharing-evidence reticence on the part of the pizzaphiles?

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is found nowhere in the Koran.

I'll bet they'll bitch plenty about how President Trump isn't protecting them when they get hit with a terror attack.

Why would Muslims go anywhere else to kill a bunch of infidels? The place is full of snowflakes, gays, trannies, stupid people, disarmed victims, moronic politicians, and police looking the other way.

Easy-Peasy ...

Al Aqeada and ISIS, take note! San Francisco is a Sanctuary City for the likes of you. Go for it! San Francisco is begging for you to show them your stuff. (Hope the FBI, Homeland Security can protect SF despite their stupidity. Hopefully, they don’t have to reallocate more assets there from NYC. Just saying.)

In CA, those running SF and LA are enemies of America. Plain and simple.
