Ok, ok, I know it’s ironic but there are two important things here.

A San Francisco police station was burglarized on Thursday morning, according to a police spokesperson [Rueca].

Rueca said police saw a man in a “secure area” of the building, located on the 1100 block of Fillmore Street, around 3:20 a.m. After a “brief struggle” when police attempted to detain him, the suspect, a 35-year-old San Francisco man, was arrested on suspicion of burglary and resisting arrest, according to Rueca.

First, the robbery was around 3am. As someone who investigated SF crime for years and even testified in court… criminals love their 3-4am slot. It’s like they know the inside baseball on when the city puts its guard down. One officer joked to me it’s their shift change time.

Second, they say beefing up security just makes the crooks move on to easier targets, like your next-door neighbor’s garage. But when criminal groups operated out of Texas are boldly rocking to hit up a police station in California, it’s like they’re saying, “no biggie, even with all the cash splashed on security, we decide who to target not you.” Let’s be real, cops lurking in the shadows waiting for action? Not exactly winning any awards for “presence felt” let alone intimidation tactics.
