SF considers bringing back 'patrol specials' from Gold Rush-era amid police shortage

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Short hundreds of officers, San Francisco is now looking back to a Gold Rush-era idea for a possible staffing solution. 

The police commission is hoping a new squad of officers will free up the police department to focus on more serious crimes.

*****

So San Francisco has gone from a regular police force to calls for defunding the police to considering using people with even less training to help clean up the mess.
All righty then.

  1. if they really wanted to stop all of this shit. just left the store people shoot the bad guys.
    it really is that simple. but sooner or later, it will come down to doing just that. shooting the bad guys. even so called normal people know this. why else are there over 1 million background checks done EVERY month for the last 2 years ? dave in pa.

  2. Vigilantes operating at the edge of the law with quasi-police powers? The city might want to talk to their Insurance company before buying them all uniforms... well probably only brown shirts, or maybe white hoodies.

  3. San Fran needs more fat bimbo social welfare folks to confront the misguided individuals.

  4. My belief is that they really do want cops. But first they want to get rid of cops they don't like. And by the time they're done they'll have a 'Woke Force' that hates your guts. And don't forget - some forces have already been semi 'Federalized'.

    Picture this - the D.C. cops patrolling your town.

  5. It aint a crime until the DA prosecutes it and without that there is little point in bringing in bad guys since they don't get locked up, don't get charged and never appear in court. I'm waiting for the businesses to go to locked entry and controlled entry.

  6. San Francisco needs to go back to the days of Karl Malden and Michael Douglas. And Harry Callahan, and Steve Mcqueen

  8. In the early Gold Rush days, Vigilance Committees were established by the fed up citizens. They were very effective. Unfortunate the law enforcement professionals got more involved and the effectiveness of service declined.

  11. "We can't control the criminal element, so we'll bring in untrained vigilantes. That'll solve everything!" I guess they've never heard of the abuses of the various Vigilance Committees in the past. Or maybe they do and are waiting to capitalize on the ensuing chaos.

  12. The biggest bonus for this plan? They can be non citizens with non blue helmets.
