I talked to two cops handing out violations to drivers failing to yield to pedestrians right around Glen Park BART this morning. Suggested better use of their time would be to set up shop at night in GP Village... blank stare. They didn't even KNOW about the multiple robberies, stabbing, etc. Huh? Had no idea what I was talking about......

Glen Park at tipping point on violent crime

Jennie Park keeps crying. She doesn't mean to but the tears bubble up unexpectedly.

Certainly she is deeply gratified that so many of her Glen Park neighbors are stopping by her store, Buddies Market, to ask about her husband, Paul. Friday night, at closing time, he was beaten, tied up, stabbed and robbed. He's better, Jennie says, but she can't shake the fact that one of the knife blows nicked his liver and her 53-year-old husband nearly bled to death on the store floor.
