etd11wm9/4/2008 12:46:48 PMI 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...... |

Not to dismiss the urgency of dealing with the recent spate of violent crime, but it's about time they started citing drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians around Glen Park BART! As a pedestrian I've nearly been hit multiple times by red light runners and people turning right on red without yielding at the intersection of Bosworth and Diamond. I think every pedestrian I know has had close calls there. Yes, I'm afraid of becoming a victim of violent crime, but I think the probability of becoming a victim of violent driving in Glen Park is a lot higher.
I've just moved to Glen Park seeking a more neighborhoody feel than the mission. I'm discouraged to hear about these crimes. I've noticed that many people have gates in front of their doors-are these considered necessary? Will see you all on Monday night at the forum with the police chief. Thanks.
Oh man, am I delighted to see this blog. Great idea. Let's continue the discussion.
Don't blame BART.
Blame the lazy cops of San Francisco. I've seen so many times how the cops in the Glen Park and Outer Mission don't do any thing to law breakers. They say they're busy dealing with other "priorities" but I just see them driving around the main streets and call that "protecting" the neighborhoods. What a waste of tax payers money.
That's what happens when you hire kids right out of high schools to protect the city. I bet you over half the city's cops don't have a college degree.
You don't need a college degree to be a good police officer. I've had nothing but positive interactions with the SFPD. They have a tough job, cut them a break.
