    SFPD from Mission & Ingleside stations keep telling people when you’re walking around, on bus/train, put your cellphones, electronics away. You only make yourself a very easy target.

    When will the SFPD do their job instead of telling us they can’t? WTF good is a phone if you have need a body guard to use it?

    6:25 PM after daylight savings is the same thing as the 11:35am Brunch robbery.
