Each morning, the street outside fills with parents and children trooping to Buena Vista-Horace Mann school. But not today. Instead, this was the scene.
The officer pointing her weapon shouted over a loudspeaker and gestured to a man sitting in a parked car to come out with raised hands.
Nothing happened fast and that is a compliment to SFPD. Other officers approached from the side of the car.
The cops meant business. We had to hope that nothing scared them.
After a few minutes, the occupant of the parked car emerged, stumbling a little but still smoking.
I have no idea what this was about, but I hope there was a real crime involved because this drew a lot of cops and a lot of armament to my 'hood.
It feels dumb to watch a thing like this from nearby. Bad stuff can happen quickly. But it also feels as if it is a civic duty to observe ...
