The situation in SF is getting worse, and it’s time we at least *try to do something.* Like, I don’t know, when the police is standing right next to a man brandishing a knife at passerby’s, asking if they’d like a cut… maybe arrest him?https://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1177772126964600832 …

It’s unacceptable, it’s getting more frequent, and it’s time for San Franciscans to really get pissed. For now — I would pitch in if that person decides to sue the city over this. Who else is in?

True story: Friend: hey there’s a guy here sawing a bike’s hard lock Police: How do you know he didn’t just lose the key? F: that’s a $2k bike, doesn’t look like the kind of guy who’d own this P: sir we can’t profile And then they *hung up on him.*https://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1177808366636171268 …

Glad that at least cops don't profile people. They have better things to do than waste their time investigating if someone MIGHT be stealing a bike. And even if they catch them it's a misdemeanor anyways.

If you're sawing a bike lock off, you are probably stealing a bike. If this is somehow a controversial thing to say, honestly, I'll take my licks.
