A local reporter in San Francisco was filming a segment on people breaking into cars on Wednesday, and was about to interview a man in the Twin Peaks area when they he was robbed at gunpoint.
Before the interview could commence, a white car pulled up with four men in it, and three men got out and threatened them.
According to the Daily Caller, Ford told local news the following:
"The car came up here while we were about to do an interview, three guys jumped out. One had a gun and put [it] in my face and said, 'We’re taking the camera'."
"My whole thought at the moment was be calm. Let's not get this guy excited. He's got the gun. I don't. So you take the camera. It's yours Buddy."
The city of SF has become an increasingly dangerous place to live lately.
Rafael Mandelman, the supervisor for the city's District 8, had this to say on Twitter:
Earlier this afternoon a reporter was robbed at gunpoint at Twin Peaks Blvd & Burnett Ave while interviewing a resident about car break-ins in the area. @SFPD officers are working to find those responsible and recover the camera. This incident is ridiculous & unacceptable... 1/2— Rafael Mandelman (@RafaelMandelman) March 3, 2021
We need to adequately resource public safety agencies, adopt better strategies to stop repeat offenders & make clear that San Francisco is not a place that you can commit crimes & put people's lives at risk with impunity."
Despite all of this, the SF city government has just defunded the police to the tune of some $120 million.
Police managed to get the stolen camera back by Wednesday night, but apparently no charges have been laid yet in connection with the incident, and the investigation remains open:
Cities are turning into Gotham.
Yeah. Well, that's gun control. Crooks have guns, because they don't care about your law: they're crooks. Law-abiding citizens don't have guns, because they are law-abiding.
And this seems like a good thing to the media?

Twin Peaks? Ask the Log.
“a white car pulled up with four men in it” -— When you want to blame whitey, but can’t, mention the white car...
The only thing left out was “all four robbers were wearing MAGA hats”.......
This is a dangerous place.
San Francisco has been a $h1thole for decades.
They have no interest in doing anything meaningful about it.
Like all liberals, they think the answer is more gun control. They just don't get it.
That would have required an extra $20 per robber-actor and the budget just wasn’t there.
$5 dollar blank red hats and a sharpie?
“...and the investigation remains open:...”
Where it shall forever remain.
This whole thing is just too convenient...really...a reporter with a film crew gets robbed by four random criminals?
“When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!”
This happens when you take guns from the non-violent, honest people and deliberately leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
