Sherriff van? That doesn't surprise me. I was almost run down while legall crossing Davis in the crosswalk by a Sherriff van last week. Open season on pedestrians in San Francisco year-round, even by our "protectors."

Anyone see the news piece about the guy who parked his truck on the street and came back to find the side mirror knocked off? He installs the street cameras, and happened to park in view of one. The camera captures a police sheriff van not only hitting his mirror but hitting the brakes to look at it before leaving the scene with no note.

Let's hope that concentrating a police presence in those 4-5 regions of the City with unusually high historical instances of violence IS effective. If the cameras are effective in mitigating crime in the immediate area that they watch, perhaps we should all be setting up cameras (fake or real) to help push crime down the block.
