No, that is the reality. I held the internal memo in my hand.
I regularly walk the downtown streets in the middle of the night and have for the last seven years. I have yet to see the out of control gangs you refer to. I may see an occasional homeless person asleep in a doorway or on a bench but that’s it. What I do see is a pretty good law enforcement presence, especially on bicycles. Downtown San Antonio has not been lost to gangs.
