Apparently living amid a city that is fraught with crime is comfortable for a lot of people in San Francisco, at least according to one of the most leftist Mayors in the nation. You know things are bad when the Mayor of San Francisco, who ran on a platform to remove cops from the streets, starts shouting about the “bull**it that has destroyed the city”, and proclaiming that rampant lawlessness needs to stop.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed delivered a statement yesterday that is the exact opposition of her social program message from the past few years. Apparently, the rise in random gangs of looters destroying the city and organized retail theft has become problematic for the politicians who hold power over the city.
Quite a remarkable shift in position, however, the transparency of motive is clear. Breed’s faux anger and conveniently new frustration over the crime surge in the city were on full display at her noon news conference where she changed the rules of the safari park. WATCH:
Democrats are worried about how their anti-police position has brought the criminal chickens home to roost. Politically, Democrats -writ large- are trying to distance themselves from the crime their policies have created. National polls show voters are correctly attributing the rise in crime to Democrats. Thus, they need to change direction quickly.
SAN FRANCISCO – After months of viral videos showing deteriorating conditions on the streets of San Francisco, including smash-and-grab robberies and open-air drug use, the city’s mayor has moved to implement a new public safety approach to curb criminal behavior. Her move could signal a recognition by the Democratic establishment that crime may prove a potent issue in upcoming elections.
Speaking at City Hall on Tuesday, San Francisco Mayor London Breed lamented “all the bullshit that has destroyed our city,” including thefts at high-end stores like Louis Vuitton, rampant vehicle break-ins and a seeming flood of the potent drug fentanyl. All of it has been captured on video, making for regular Fox News segments and rising consternation among Democrats who see crime as a potential weakness in next year’s midterm elections. (read more)
That last bullet point is a little funny, no?…
I mean what good were the city CCTV cameras if the police were not allowed to use them?
Were the cameras installed so the city could just randomly document criminals running amok for posterity?
Is it better to be a cop that got let go for the defunding efforts, or a cop that is still there working without any vacations or holidays or any time off? That cop is working long extra hours every day without a break while his or her superiors and many city residents treat them like sub-humans.
Might be better for the cops still there to just move to Florida and get the sign-on bonus there.
newsom just the other day re instituted an indoor mask mandate throughout California.
Except the newsom California wide indoor mask mandate does not apply to one city – San Francisco.

newsom & pelosi what a pair.
Newsom and Pelosi are actually familially related.
I know
Newsom is Pelosi’s nephew.
Satan’s children?
I query the same about ANY Democrat.
My conclusion always comes back to “yes, minions of Satan all.”
Spawn…
Barely
And they both revolve around the Getty family. There are darn few left who remember firsthand in 1911 how J. Paul Getty’s Standard Oil was broken up by the Sherman Antitrust Act, but they got just too darn powerful. But you can bet the Getty family remembers which is why they now control California politics. This reminds one of tech owners who are preventing the same with a huge DC lobbyist presence.
Sorry but it was John D. Rockefeller who conceived Standard Oil and was taken down by Ida Tarbell. Getty Oil was an independent.
Thanks for the pointer. My memory failed me again but it won’t on this subject for another 100 years.
Enjoy the complete experience of poop stink
the thing about California is that its basically the wild west, its a state full of every kind of law, that everyone, including the law makers ignore.
Basically corruption is the norm and not the exception.
For every woke or crazy law, there is a third world maze of exemptions, carve-outs, loopholes and basically unenforcement.
Unless you are a child in a middle school, then you need to be defaced, and retroactively aborted with mRNA, especially if you are a boy, they are the worst.
De-population Bio-weapon…
No mandate is law, and no cop or business should enforce it, nor abide by it.
I can only imagine what the good people over at the SFPD think of all this.
“Great. NOW you need us, to clean up the frickin’ mess you jackwagons made.”
People leaving their car trunks OPEN to discourage smashing windows.
(No idea how to turn off the annoying writing on this twit. Sorry)
Matthew 7:16 ye shall know them by their fruits.
Truth there, but amazing how many want to give the “benefit of the doubt”. If someone is practicing evil, IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE EVIL.
Including the wicked’s rotten, foul fruits.
And CA has a bunch of fruits living in it.
The real problem is the violence and theft is getting too close to them personally and restricting their ability to get another Gucci bag or Rolex watch for Christmas. It was okay when it was just the serfs suffering as Walgreens was burning, now it must stop, at least till after they’ve done their shopping. There’s a lot of Soros’ money left to spend.
Agree.
Typical. Demokkkrats create the problem. Then come up with a solution that’s a bigger disaster than the problem.
Oh the Tragedy, the crime has finally reached the “donor” neighborhoods. Time to do something.
San Francisco Didn’t Kill Itself
San Fransicko Epstein’d itself.
San Francisco is going to become like Detroit, pretty quickly. No wonder Pelosi is moving to Florida
She is going to love the semi permanent TRUMP flotilla anchored just offshore from her palace.
Heard some people are leaving their hatch open just to demonstrate they have nothing of value in their vehicle. Listening to the video oh, she’s a real toughie. It could work if they actually still have a non compromised police force. I suspect many of the level thinking ones hauled ass a while ago. I would have.
Yeah, that’s much better than moving. These must be the same people that voted for the people supporting crime.
Maybe they’ll lose some seats in Congress….. if the Voter Fraud gets fixed and they don’t let illegals vote, that is.
She’s wearing Hillary purple…just saying…
We live 50 miles north of San Francisco and we never visit it anymore. It was still beautiful 30 years ago, even 15 years ago. Fast decline.
What’s happening in Blue cities is purposeful attack upon social structure to overthrow the status quo and replace it with communism. Why else do you think they emptied the jails/prisons, etc. and refused to hold criminals accountable? It’s to rip our social fabric, cause fear and disorder, and put communists in control. We have to fight this with all we have.
I thought the CCTV cameras in progressive cities are used exclusively to find evidence of police brutality and misconduct, no?
Does that mean she’ll need to “re-educate” her Soros appointed DA, who isn’t prosecuting crimes?
“all the bullshit that has destroyed our city,” Rather crudely and ineptly phrased for a relatively high-profile Party member. Classless bitch. Excuse me, I meant Strong Empowered Womyn. One area she neglected to mention was SF’s “poop patrols”. The street shitter demographic is growing and will become a political force, attracted as they are to the communist utopia of SF, a tenth world sewer of chaos, crime, and depravity. All according to plan
LB still has Chesa Boudin as DA. Also, it sounds like they only have a problem with IV drug use. Smoking and sorting meth and cocaine on city sidewalks is A-OK.
Not only will she need to get the communist DA and judges on board, the seals they have trained for the past 5 years will need reeducation, and the only way they get that done is in jail and prison, probably past November 2024. It’ll be fun watching them try to crack down on the people of preferred pigmentation (ht moonbattery) and the ensuing lawsuits from Crump & Associates.
Too little too late lady!
“…the steps to be more aggressive with our law enforcement…”
What?
Double speak nonsense.
You don’t want to be more aggressive with law enforcement, you want law enforcement to be more aggressive by giving them the authority to actually do the job they were hired to do.
She is speaking like the back side of a gas filled cow.
Oh, that’d be Hillary.
For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice (James 3:16).
The new SMR translation: Wherever you have a democrat in control you have economic disorder, social chaos and sexual depravity.
Typical of liberals, she blames the people that she has encouraged and enabled for the crime. Notice that she spoke of forcing drug abusers to accept her help or go to jail but wasn’t as specific about her black thugs smash and grabbing. And of course no mention of her direct participation by the enabling reporters.
It looks like the TPTB have recognized the vast majority of US citizens are not so fond of crime and they need to handle it before those same citizens decide to take back their communities.
I think we are about to hear a young boy say “the emperor has no clothes”!
Get rid of regular pay Police, and then pay the remaining over-time pay. Wow are those democrat leaders wicked smart!
I’m surprised they didn’t mention “more vaccinations” as a way to curb crime. Stupid people would believe that like everything else the democrats spout.
The only BS is the BS democraps
What is the so what next?
Round 10,945 –
Problem (someone “wrongly” treated by law enforcement) —-> Reaction – (agents of the wrongly treated stir emotional public for change) —-> Solution (“we” debilitate the legal systems ability to rationally respond and maintain a semblance of order).
Round 10,946 – Problem (debilitated legal system unable to respond to surprising increase in criminality) —-> Reaction (with great fanfare, “we” must defend the population from this terrible situation (from the problem “we” created)) —–> Reaction (“we” need to spend more money on the legal system to protect “us” from our latest, created problem)
“We” the political class is good at creating the problems, using “we” the peoples outrage at the result, so “we” demand the problem be fixed.
I believe it was Upton Sinclair that said, “It is hard to convince a man to solve a problem when his livelihood depends on it.”
Those San Franciscans deserve whatever they get…
You can’t be dumb enough to elect that into office…..
Still not enough recognition – that’s not bullshit that they are stepping in.
If she was serious, they would issue more CCW and announce DA’s policy of no bill on stopping murderous assaults with deadly force.
She seems to have been tapped for a big promotion!?
London Breed?? The name alone is enough to raise some flags before you get to the voting booth.
The Dem base is too stupid and/or far gone to appreciate the irony of the situation. Declaring crisis and demanding more police action after getting elected on the defund the police platform is admitting defeat.
Lemmings will still vote for this woman whose name sounds like something from a dog show.
TEST
Breed went from “defund the police” to Dirty Harry. You know who wasn’t at her news conference in support: the cop killers’ bastard child SF City Attorney Chesa Boudin.
