To address San Francisco’s rampant, open-air drug crisis, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom recently deployed the California National Guard and the California Highway Patrol.
Newsom announced the partnership effort last month to provide additional resources to local law enforcement struggling to get a handle on fentanyl trafficking.
“We’re taking action,” Newsom declared. “Through this new collaborative partnership, we are providing more law enforcement resources and personnel to crack down on crime linked to the fentanyl crisis, holding the poison peddlers accountable, and increasing law enforcement presence to improve public safety and public confidence in San Francisco.”
San Francisco Democratic Mayor London Breed thanked the governor for the added support, which she claimed would “help break up the open-air drug dealing happening in our city.”
So far, the city has deployed only six CHP officers to the Tenderloin and South Market districts and 14 National Guardsmen, who will provide “analytical support” to local law enforcement to monitor cartel-involved drug deals. MORE

Probably using the California National Guard and the California Highway Patrol to haul in more drug to pacify them.
“…San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott stated that he believes the deployment will free up resources for officers, allowing them to patrol the streets….
To do what? Arrest them, only to have the DA’s office release back onto the streets? Nothing but hollow showmanship, with an eye to 2024.
A headline I’d much rather see:
National Guard deployed in San Francisco to combat city’s rampant govt criminality
The city run shooting galleries provide free needles, a ‘safe space’ to inject, and were even testing drugs to make sure the junkies didn’t OD. It’s a druggies paradise.
Intended title;
National Guard to insure druggies don’t run out of drugs.
Since fentanyl traffics up from the Southern border, and Gov Gruesome loves his Open Border, Natl Guard in San Franshithole not really there to stop anything …
Lip service.
