San Francisco mayor announces measures aimed at curbing crime

San Francisco Mayor London Breed (D) on Tuesday announced new measures aimed at curbing crime in the city, including drug use and home break-ins.

In a news conference on Tuesday, Breed said she will introduce legislation that would allow law enforcement access to surveillance video in certain situations and make it harder for people to sell stolen goods.

Breed also announced the use of emergency powers to attempt to improve safety in the Tenderloin district, one of San Francisco's poorest neighborhoods, which is also home to several government buildings including City Hall, according to the AP.

"What I'm proposing today, and what I will be proposing in the future will make a lot of people uncomfortable, and I don't care," Breed said. "We are past the point where what we see is even remotely acceptable."

Lot of that has gone on over the decades, car jackings comes to mind. They keep thinking up new tricks to keep locking people up and keeping us all under surveillance.

There was that big campaign during the 90s to make prescription pain killers available to people with chronic pain, not just near death and promoted expanding the prescription for more even as there were decades of data showing that a certain percentage of those prescribed would become addicted.

How about charter schools, they were suppose to fix the public school system. Such a failure no one talks them up anymore.

I can't end without mentioning the War on Terrorism though it doesn't seem to be concerned with our own domestic terrorists, now identified as the Republican political party.

etc.
