The article discusses the contrasting priorities of San Francisco police officers, who prefer attending events like concerts over working in high-crime areas such as Mission and 16th. The police have deployed a Mobile Command Unit to the area, which has been stationed for over three months. Despite the officers being available for overtime at popular events, they face a challenge with quality of life issues in the area surrounding the unit that extend beyond simple patrol duties, raising questions about the effectiveness of their approach to policing.
It has been 91 days since the police RV rolled onto the plaza and there are, to put it mildly, still quality of life issues in the area.
Cops are earning overtime six days a week to sit in the Mobile Command Unit at 16th Street BART Plaza, too. But there's no waiting list.
