Ingleside's Captain David Lazar made certain to note that, on Tuesday, a member of the public told the SFPD to keep an eye on reckless drivers on Alemany between Cotter and Theresa -- and his officers dinged 20 drivers there yesterday.
At a pedestrian sting out in the Parkside SF Weekly covered earlier this year, citizens made a point to shake officers' hands and congratulate them -- unusual behavior that indicates this is a good way for the SFPD to win hearts and minds. "Thanks for going after these guys," said a man at that sting. "It's horrific what goes on here."
So, if the cops are interested in quickly satiating vocal, concerned citizens, allow SF Weekly to serve as the conduit for something we've been hearing around -- especially after the death of 24-year-old pedestrian Melissa Dennison. How about a sting -- or just some police presence -- on de-facto freeways like Oak, Fell, and 19th Avenue?
