The San Francisco 49ers lost at home last night, but the San Francisco Police Department is boasting a bit of its own victory: a peaceful game. SFPD had a larger team of officers (40 percent more staff than a normal game, they said) in and around the stadium, tallying up their own statistics:
Ejections: 12
Public intoxication: 2
Warrant arrest: 1
Selling without a permit: 1 citation
Medical calls: 6
Hospital runs: 0
