I walk down Market Street late at night probably 5 nights a week. It's a fucking disaster. It's zombie town. It's a morass of human misery, suffering, and crime. San Francisco has been killing the homeless en masse with permissive empathy, making their lives comfortable on the streets, churning huge amounts of money between overfull city coffees and the NGO-industrial complex. Its a grift machine with a cost measured in dead bodies on the street and ruined lives. Enough is enough. Just admit that SF has failed to effectively govern itself with regards to crime and homelessness, and call for help. "It's an insult to the SFPD!" - you know what's an insult? Getting a district attorney that doesn't punish crime. The biggest insult of all, however, was when the city was completely cleaned up in a matter of days - for what? The communist Chinese delegation coming to town. Proving once and for all - the problem is totally fixable with a surge in police presence. It's gone on too far and too long. Put the pride aside and admit SF needs help. It's in your citizens best interests to not get robbed, have their local grocery stores closed because of theft, cars broken into. It's in the homelesses interests to not have access to open air drug markets too, actually. "But it's Donald Trump and we hate Trump!" - okay, so you're placing your butthurt partisan politics above the law and order of your own city, the safety of your citizens, the viability of their local businesses, and the health and sanity of it's most vulnerable population? If the national guard was sent in by a democrat president suddenly it'd be okay? Just solve the problem because it's a national fucking embarassment, and maybe cops here in SF might like some backup. You had every opportunity to fix it and didn't. Time to grow up.

This is a slap in the face to San Francisco. It’s insulting to our cops, and it’s honestly galling to those of us who’ve been fighting hard over the last few years to fully staff our @SFPD. Marc @Benioff, I pleaded for your support last year for the Prop F Charter Amendment I wrote, which would have swelled our police staffing ranks by hundreds of officers. And while I appreciated your $50K donation — one week before the election — it wasn’t enough to win. And it wasn’t even CLOSE to the $8+ million you spent to pass the dubious Prop C homelessness tax in 2018. (1/2)
