Afternoon Palate Cleanser: Dinosaur Jr.'s "Over It"
Attorney General Jerry Brown will announce a major crackdown on street gangs today. Early this morning, agents presented more than 40 search warrants and 43 arrest warrants at Richmond locations -- e.g., One raid in the area of Eighth Street and Barrett Avenue in Richmond -- part of a gang enforcement operation.
SWAT teams also participated in the massive operation.
Last year there were 47 homicides and 350 shootings in the City of Richmond -- over half of them caused by members of the Deep C gang. The gang engages in "drug trafficking, robbery, assault and prostitution, and residential neighborhoods are often ground zero for some of the gang's most violent activity."
California Attorney General Jerry Brown, Richmond Police Chief Chris Magnus, Contra Costa District Attorney Robert Kochly, and other various state and local law enforcement agencies are expected to make an announcement about the triumphant crackdown at Richmond Police Department at 2 p.m. this afternoon.

What no snark? No 'yeah keep that East Bay trash over there, insert any other east bay bashing here'? You disappointed me Brock.
But yes, its exciting over here, I work on 9th and MacDonald, right next to Barrett. Nothing really out of the usual, say 3 helicopters than the usual 2 that fly around here all the time. Ahh the cacophony of police sirens.
i don't think people from the east bay are trash. goodness gracious.
Miscreants, then.
what does that say about the douchebags who have to work over there
So will this affect the murder rate in SF?
