Update: Treasure Island Standoff

police%20at%20the%20bridge.jpg

Jim Herd over at SF Citizen just sent us this rather harrowing, though nevertheless exciting, text: "treasure island blocked off by police. eastbound off-ramp closed. officers with shotguns standing around. 10 police cars...as of 3[0] mins ago." Egads!

Update I: Fun picture of all the action going down at the Bay Bridge today. Yay!

Update II: "The clerk at the new convenience store said that the cops were chasing a guy who was carrying a gun and running near the Bay Bridge. The clerk it would be in [print publications] tomorrow. People couldn't get to TI from SF for a little while at least," says Herd.

The guy at the convenience store said that there was a suspect running around with a gun in his hand, up close to the Bay Bridge, said you'll read about it tomorrow.

We'll see...

When SF Police can do something, they do. Thank god. We should all move to TI.

They cannot do anything in SF. Juries here, in my native City will not convict. Officers will not arrest. Prosecutors suck.

Too true SFperson2000.
That murder in our nabe, on Chenery Street, a few weeks ago.. The murderer turned himself in, apparently the victim knew him. However the SF Prosecutor had not done their homework, or their work period, and couldn't charge the guy WHO CONFESSED! with the weapon even. So they let him go.
And he's still at large apparently . . .
