Smart Policing: When San Francisco Stopped Prosecuting Drug Users Violent Crime Went Down (Video)
December 10, 2014
San Fran is applying a radical strategy…LOGIC! By disbanding various drug task forces and allowing those cops to pursue and thwart violent offenders instead of wasting their efforts just locking up drug users. And their approaches seem to be working to reduce violent crime and free up police to chase real criminals…
“I’m a narc. I’ve been a narcotics guy forever,” says San Francisco police chief Greg Suhr. “But I’m just telling you, I’ve always felt bad for the people that were addicted to drugs.”
Suhr’s compassion translates into policy that works to the benefit of folks he pities (by not criminalizing them). And it has also let him fight a war on two fronts since 2007; crime, on the one hand… in the face of deep recession-driven budget cuts on the other.
“Not trying to just keep a stat game going on arresting people for narcotics has not hurt us in trying to achieve our goal in trying to make San Franciso safest,” says Suhr.
Interesting.

Kero One – “To the Top” (featuring Jane Lui)
July 9, 2012
Shout to BamaLoveSoul for putting me on to Kero One’s joint “Top the Top.” It makes my head sway… not nod or bob…but sway. Way smooth. Kero One is not only an emcee, but also a musician (does most of his own beats); influenced by jazz, synth music from the 80’s, and funk basslines from the 70’s. Check out “To the Top” from Kero One (featuring Jane Lui). Worth it…and you’re welcome.
