Default SF residents told to ‘tolerate burglaries’

https://eastvalleypost.com/san-franc...te-burglaries/

The people of SF have the government and the society they have voted for over the decades. They need to embrace it.

San Francisco Chronicle ripped for asking if residents should ‘tolerate burglaries’
‘Actual words printed in an actual newspaper’

Published 1 min ago on November 8, 2021By eastvalleypost San Francisco Chronicle ripped for asking if residents should ‘tolerate burglaries’
Social media users wondered if the San Francisco Chronicle had published satire when the outlet asked if residents should start to “tolerate” burglaries as part of their every day life amid a recent crime surge.

San Francisco has seen an increase in shootings, assaults, shoplifting, car break-ins and more in recent months. The city’s Central District, by way of example, experienced a 753% increase in car break-ins from May 2020 to May 2021. More than 150 families were so fearful they even hired private security to protect their property.



The rate of burglaries has been particularly concerning. As of Oct. 31, San Francisco police had received reports of 810 burglaries or attempted burglaries this year in the jurisdiction of the Mission District Police Station, a 13% increase from this time last year, according to the Chronicle.

Crime has apparently become so commonplace in the city that the Chronicle asked readers if residents should start to “tolerate” burglaries.



“Residents and city leaders are searching for answers: should they tolerate burglaries as a part of city living, and focus on barricading homes? Should repeat offenders get rehabilitation services, or be incarcerated so they can’t commit more crimes?” the outlet tweeted.


The piece notes the city is in a “quandary” as it tries to pursue criminal justice reform while “debating how to manage rates of property crime that for years have been among the highest in the nation.” While some residents are “appalled” by the crime, others have learned to “grudgingly accept this element of city living.”

Social media users shook their heads in response, with some asking “what the hell is going on” in the Golden City.




Others suggested residents take their safety into their own hands.




The city police department reportedly struggled to maintain order while dealing with a shortage of hundreds of officers. Many in law enforcement have decided to retire early amid an uptick in violent crime and calls to defund police departments in the wake of the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in the summer of 2020. His death sparked a wave of violent riots and protests in major cities throughout the U.S.

Some in law enforcement, including San Francisco Police Officers Association, have also blamed the carnage on the liberal policies of Mayor London Breed and District Attorney Chesa Boudin.



“This brazen criminal behavior is endured every single day by San Franciscans and it is the direct result of District Attorney Chesa Boudin and his enablers’ criminals-first agenda,” SFPOA President Tony Montoya said in a statement in June.

Never in my life could I have imagined this taking place in a city in the U.S.

OP, you’re as bad at headline writing as CNN. They weren’t told anything whatsoever.

As a San Francisco native, I have seen career corrupt liberal politicians destroy this once great city. Dems count on the ignorance of their constituents. Until they wake up and see that the Dems don’t have the answer to fixing what is wrong, the city will continue to go down the drain.

They won't wake up. Hell, it seems all of the non-demofelons are moving out.

The thing that doesn't make sense is, the property prices in these dystopian Hellholes where anarcho-tyranny rules the street are still sky high. Usually out of control crime brings property prices down.

Psaki thanks you for acknowledging that Joe Biden is keeping property values high in spite of rising crime rates.

Yeah, police departments have been advising this for what, 30 years? Probably longer.

Find me a link to any PD in the country that advises you challenge them.

I was just going to say the same thing. And companies also have policies where they don’t want their employees putting their lives in danger over money or merchandise. This is not new.
