I've had a growing paranoia about cops lately. Seems that everwhere I turned I'd see a police cruiser. Yesterday I drove across town and saw at least 20 in various locations throughout San Francisco, cruisers speeding by, cops leading black men away in handcuffs and cops questioning folks asleep on sidewalks. Did our mayor increase funding for the police? Did the men in blue all of a sudden decide to crackdown on the city? I mentioned this to my wife and see said the rumour-mill at the kiddie park is that the city has undergone an influx of refugees from New Orleans and that they have taken to attacking scared white people in broad daylight. One lady on the swank side of Fillmore Street was pepperspayed by a couple of neer-do-wells and robbed. Interesting. If true it hasn't made it into the press yet and city officials are probably trying not to declare it due to the impact it might have on the all important tourism dollars.
I might believe that, but seriously, what are there like 1000 black people in all of San Francisco? Please.
Though, despite my hatred of DC speeding cameras, SF is the only place I have seen a stop sign camera. Fuck.
