Police officers kill one suspect -- city urged to declare a crisis
An explosion of violence in San Francisco's southeastern corner left five people dead, including a man and woman shot in their car on a Bayview district street and the gang member who police say attacked them.
The suspect was killed in a gunbattle with police shortly after he shot the two, a 42-year-old cement-truck driver from San Francisco and a 50-year-old woman from Fremont, authorities said.
The victims in three separate incidents Sunday also included a 21-year-old San Francisco man who was shot dead in the Portola neighborhood as he drove a friend home after a night playing Monopoly, and an 18-year-old who was shot to death while working on his car on Potrero Hill.
The violence prompted calls at City Hall for officials to declare a state of crisis in San Francisco. Mayor Gavin Newsom responded that his administration had already tried several measures to cut crime and that "all of us" need to work harder.
The killings brought San Francisco's homicide total for the year to 62 -- a pace that if continued would about reach last year's total of 96, which was the city's bloodiest year in a decade.

Typical LSM crap and a great rebuttal from the police chief on exactly the questions that need to be answered.
There is no prosecution here; the cops don't care because they know the Prosecutor will not prosecute. No one hunts these animals down - it is restricted for the most part to one neighborhood (where OJ grew up) and no-one cares.
Evidently the initial effects of abortion are beginning to wear out in San Francisco. They need build more clinics, makw Plan B available over-the-curbstone and paying ethnic breeders to either join the gay brigade or accept implant birth control.
Granted the payoff won't come for another 15 years or so, but that's the nature of 'cultural' problems. You have to lop off the bearers.
I just watched the whole video. This man is a voice of (justifiably angry) reason in a city full of pc nutjobs! I hope the people there are listening!
My condolences to the family of the murdered cop. He gave his life protecting the aforementioned nutjobs. What a terrible, terrible waste.
When will the citizens take their streets back from the miscreants?
Will the National Guard be called in? lol
I know!
Ban handguns. That will solve the problem.
SF is run by democrat socalists, and there is by defination, no crime...only peace and harmony and flowers.
Its all lies, I tell you.
All jokes aside, it's bad here. I work here in SF (but thankfully don't live here). Almost all of this gun violence is black drug gangs and their wannabe hangers-on. Most of the shooting is drug related, of course, but a large part of it is personal revenge for some perceived slight. See, for those of you who live in the real world, it's hard to understand that among the tribes of the inner cities, perceived "disrepect" is answered with gunfire.
Such lovely people!
Yes, there are lots of gay people here. No, they don't shoot people. The gang problem is actually worse in Oakland, and almost as bad in Richmond. These are the only three cities in the Bay Area with large black populations and lots of gun crimes (gasp! really?)
One of our city "leaders" is currently jumping up and down and foaming at the mouth because the mayor won't declare a "citywide state of emergency" over the gang shootings. This "leader" insists this is a "city-wide problem"....
Well, actually, it's not. Those of us who go about our business outside the ghetto never see or hear any of this. We wisely avoid problem areas, and wisely profile people from those areas should they enter into areas of the city where they have no business being. So call me racist. Watch me lose sleep.
Next to 1848, when gold was discovered in California, 1856 was perhaps the most exciting year of the era by reason of the flood of crime into the city and brought about the organization of the famous Committee of Vigilance of that year, a form of direct action which attracted the attention of the world to a new style of summary justice, the result of extraordinary conditions in San Francisco.
If this isn't a civil war I don't know what one is.
"When will the citizens take their streets back from the miscreants?'
Nation of Islam and Islam. Hmmm.
Mayor Gavin Newsom very seriously proposed to fight violent crime by putting more FIREMEN on the streets.
He's a complete idiot, and may I remind you that he was the 'reasonable' candidate for mayor.
It's so typical of liberals to fall on their own sword.
That's a thought. Legalize the soporific drugs like grass and heroin. Keep the speed illegal. By switching the thugs to friendly drugs, the layabouts will spend their time laying about.
This happened in New Orleans a couple of months ago and the National Guard was called in.
Time to do a "strategic redeployment" from San Francisco to Okinawa.
