Why is Mid-Market the West Coast Capitol of Stolen iPhone Sales? I know not.
And yet, this is the place where your former iPhone changes hands.
The SFPD knows about this sitch, but it’s unwilling / unable to do anything about it.
Chapter 3876:
“On September 27, 2012 San Francisco Police arrested two suspects in connection with a robbery which occurred on Duncan Street at Diamond Heights Boulevard at approximately 8:00 pm.
In this incident the victim was walking on Duncan Street when he was approached by the suspect (later Identified as Waldo Butler). Butler asked the victim for directions to a nearby grocery store. When the victim pointed towards the grocery store, he noticed another male (later Identified as Paris Brown) sitting inside a tan minivan parked in front of a driveway on Duncan Street. It was at this point when Butler grabbed the victim by his arm, pulled him closer and produced a semi-automatic handgun from his waistband and pointed it at the victim. Butler demanded the victim’s cell phone, wallet, and backpack. Butler then took the victims items and fled towards the tan minivan.
San Francisco Police Officers immediately arrived on scene and were able to use a mobile tracking application that the victim had installed on his cell phone. This tracking software was put to use as part of the Police Department’s violence prevention strategy of Interrupt, Predict and Organize (IPO) which seeks to: interrupt violent crimes, to predict where retaliation may occur and prevent additional violence from occurring. This technology led officers to 7th Street and Market Street. Once officers saturated the area, they were able to locate the tan minivan used in the robbery (with two occupants sitting inside the vehicle) on Laskie Street at 7th Street. It was later determined that the two occupants were the suspects in the robbery. Officers located the victim’s property inside the vehicle as well as a loaded semi-automatic handgun. The presence of this phone tracking technology and the quick and coordinated response of police officers from several district stations led to the identity and arrest of the two suspects who were identified as: Waldo Butler, male, 21, of Vallejo, and Paris Brown, male, 25, of San Francisco.
Butler is currently charged with felony 2nd degree robbery, felony receiving known stolen property, felony conspiracy, felony carrying a loaded firearm to commit a felony, misdemeanor carrying a loaded firearm in a public place, misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon, and misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle.
Brown is currently charged with Felony 2nd Degree robbery, felony receiving known stolen property, felony conspiracy, and misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle.”
Oh well.
Is Ed Lee a bad Interim Mayor?
It’s sure looking that way…

You know, I think a cowboy from 150 years ago would totally get this scene. You have a constable with a hat and a gun and a pair of boots, mounted on a horsey, looking for thieves on Market Street near a set or train tracks:

I’ll tell you, that Bluoz is Everywhere You Want To Be, Twitterloinwise.
As here, where he’s the first to publicize the brand new police station on 6th Street betwixt Market and Mission:
Via Bluoz – click to expand
You see, it’s “Coming in 2012,” which, of course, is actually already here right now so I guess that’s one way of saying OPENING SOON.
Will this place be more like a koban or more like an actual real police station?
We’ll see, soon enough.
Bon courage, SFPD! You have your work cut out for you.

Did you know that people make up their own signs to fool the public into thinking that their official? People do.
(You know what other signs you can see in Japantown these days? “FOR LEASE” signs. Oh well.)

I can count three SFPD radio cars and there were more about the area of 6th and Market this AM, just after another family of Eurotourists got victimized.

Can you recall last year when Mayor Ed Lie had his campaign HQ in the Mid-Market to prove some point about something?
It looked like this:
Can you match up the photos?
What did Ed Lee Gets It Done actually get done here?
Oh, and our previous mayor also had a political HQ in this area not too long ago.
Check it:
“Prospective Twitter Landlord Gave Newsom Rent Deal“
On it goes in San Francisco’s corrupt Twitterloin.
Anyway, sorry Euros.

The “Divisadero Corridor” peaks at McAllister and then it’s all downhill to Geary Boulevard. This part of town is literally north / northeast of the Golden Gate Park Panhandle but it’s sort of far away.
So today, per Troy McClure, we discover that Coldwell Banker has dubbed this stabbier-than-normal area “North of NoPA” in order to sell $550k-and-up condos at 2020 Ellis.
See?

Here’s 2020 Ellis at night, you know, when a manhunt is going on:
Oh, make sure to hide your cellie when you’re in the area – a group of people is grabbing iPhones about these days.
Anyway, welcome to the Western A, gentrifiers!

Like this fellow heading outbound down Nob Hill on Bush, which of course is a one-way inbound route.
Didn’t we just lose a skateboarder not too long ago on this very same hill? I think so.

All right, work with me here, people.
1. So-called Progressive Christina Olague worked hard on the RUN ED RUN campaign so that “Interim” Mayor Ed Lee, the San Francisco Republican Party’s choice, would beat actual Progressive John Avalos in the mayoral race last year. So that Ed Lee could try to … promote his stop and frisk approach to law enforcement. So how can Olague be a Progressive if she worked to elect the standing leader of the conservative faction of San Francisco politics?
2. And uh, doesn’t San Francisco already have a stop and frisk policy? I think so! Let’s go to the videotape HTML:
“United States v. Hernandez, No. CR 08-0730 WHA (N.D. Calif. 1-6-2011)
San Francisco police officers observed three men whom they believed to be members of the MS-13 gang standing in front of a restaurant. A no-loitering sign was posted in the restaurant window. The officers watched the men for a few minutes, but observed no threatening or gang-related behavior. The officers approached the men to advise them about the no-loitering policy, and despite the lack of any threatening behavior, conducted a pat-down search of each one.”
Uh, doesn’t that sound like a recent instance of stop and frisk? It does to me! But this particular instance was ruled to be unconstitutional.
So, we have a stop and frisk policy RIGHT NOW in San Francisco, but apparently the SFPD isn’t going far enough with it, in the eyes of Accidental Mayor Ed Lee, anyway, and yet the SFPD ALREADY goes too far with it, like right now. So how does that make any sense?
All right, here’s your San Francisco stop and frisk answer key:
1. Christina Olague leans to the left in San Francisco politics but she partnered with the dominant political faction, the conservative one, in order to get appointed as Supervisor for District Five for nine years. Of course, that meant that she had to strongly favor the Republican choice over somebody like John Avalos, somebody who would never forward vague unconstitutional-sounding ambiguities as Mayor Ed Lee has recently done with the stop and the frisk. But if she hadn’t done that then there’d be no way she’d ever get elected Supe on her own, so that’s the decision she made.
2. I’m still at a loss on this one. San Francisco already has a stop and frisk program that already pushes past the limits (at times, anyway, certainly) of what courts are going to allow and yet Ed Lee wants a stop and frisk program. I’m guessing that the murder rate ‘n stuff is way up recently so Ed Lee wants to be able to point to something that he attempted to do about it. IRL, this whole concept was an obvious non-starter from the get-go.
Thus concludes Interim Supervisor (and So-Called Progressive) Christina Olague, Ed Lee, and Stop and Frisk – How Does This Make Sense?
