San Francisco to fight crime by ordering Tenderloin businesses to close earlier
Just The News | 12 July 2024 | Kenneth Schrupp

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a measure to impose a curfew on businesses in the city’s Tenderloin District over concerns that open businesses are hotspots for crime, drug dealing and drug use.

The legislation also noted how the city’s police officers are typically outnumbered by large groups of “people engaged in illegal activity,” suggesting crime in the area’s disarray has grown past law enforcement’s ability to control.

Cops will be imposing a curfew on homeless encampments on sidewalks and public lands, too, by the same logic. No?

Haven’t cops always been outnumbered by large groups of criminals in a jurisdiction? Wasn’t there once a way of addressing this, other than defunding the police?

It’s enumerated, somehow, somewhere.
