The People’s Republic of San Francisco does have a police department. They even like their police department, as long as none of them ever use any force against anybody, especially anybody other than a white person, and very especially as long as they don’t ever shoot or kill anybody.
There is a new UOF. policy being proposed for the SFPD. Their union doesn’t much like it, and has produced advertising in opposition to the new policy. Sam Francisco officials are accusing the cops of false fear mongering. I am not sure that is realistic.
In recent times about 25% of the SFPD shooting incidents have involved shooting at cars. The new proposed policy would absolutely prohibit SFPD officers from shooting at a moving vehicle unless the driver “poses an immediate threat of death or serious bodily injury to the public or an officer by means other than the vehicle.” If I am reading this correctly that means a vehicle operator is free to flee recklessly and run people down and as long as the cops are not reasonably certain the persons is armed with a weapon other than the vehicle they can’t shoot at the vehicle or the driver.
Some clown named Chuck Wexler, who is the President of a group called the Police Executive Research Forum (sounds like a bunch of liberal idiots to me) has asserted that, “San Francisco’s ban on shooting at cars is in line with national best practices.”
