There were no reported injuries  — but no reported arrests either  — as three separate sideshows laid the skids on SF streets this weekend.

The Citizen app was hopping this weekend, starting shortly after midnight Sunday morning when a large sideshow at Main and Harrison Streets did donuts and saw fireworks shot at around 12:30 a.m., according to KTVU. The same station reports there were three sideshows in total over this past weekend in SF, and since people tend to whip out their smartphones during these things, there is no shortage of pictures and video of the proceedings.

The Rincon Hill sideshow seen above generated the most pictures, video, and overall online discourse. While there are only about four vehicles actively participating in the sideshow, there is clearly a crowd of hundreds of onlookers, and dangerously close to the action.

“We were woken up by fireworks at 12:28, and shortly after that, the car squealing started and we went outside,” one witness told KTVU. “The fireworks continued throughout.“

This video appears to show the denouement of the sideshow in question. “The police arrived about 10 minutes after it started. It started to break up around 12:45, after about 5 minutes of the cops flashing their spotlights,” a witness told the station. “Didn't look like the cops arrested anyone.”

According to KGO there was another sideshow at Geneva and Alemany Streets at approximately the same time early Sunday morning. KTVU mentions a third sideshow in the Mission District, but with no details in the time or specific location.

San Francisco Police Officers Association (which is not the SFPD, it’s their union) acting president Tracy McCray said the lack of arrests is because police are “outnumbered and outgunned because people are bringing automatic weapons to these events, firing indiscriminately." Though honestly, if people were firing automatic weapons indiscriminately, wouldn’t we maybe have heard some shots?

The likelier explanation is that the sideshows just broke up once police arrived, which does not give you a ton of arrests, but does at least stop the dangerous behavior. This does not get to the source of the problem, though, as these things keep happening all over the Bay. And considering that illegal fireworks season is probably going to start pretty much any day now, we may be heading into something of a sideshow summer.

Mission bar/nightclub Slate appears to be in the process of changing hands and changing names, though the bar remains open as Slate for the time being, and likely for several months.

SFist finds that some new owners — including one of the longtime managers and owners at nearby Blondie's (540 Valencia Street), Nicole DeWald, along with two other partners — are in the process of purchasing the liquor license at 2925 16th Street from current owner Patricia West. The new name: Spirit Animal.

DeWald is a veteran of the Mission bar business, having been managing Blondie's since the age of 21, in 1991. As she said in an interview in 2015, she learned "how to run a bar by trial and error," after her mother purchased the building and named the bar after her. She also described some of the entitled behavior she had witnessed among her Millennial clientele, saying of the neighborhood, "The crackheads, the prostitutes, et cetera, that I don’t miss, but the entitlement of the people moving here is equally as ugly."

As of 2015, we learned that the building that houses Blondie's was on the market and the site was zoned for several more stories in height, meaning that the bar's days may be numbered. We don't yet know if the martini haven is still endangered or not.

The license transfer for Spirit Animal is scheduled to take place, according to state records, on April 30, 2020, though it's unclear so far what the timing of the handoff may be. DeWald is apparently joined in the business by partners Sven Forner and Rachael Cornell.

Slate's website and Facebook page indicate no upcoming changes, and the bar has its regularly scheduled events going on as usual.

Slate opened in 2012 in a space that was formerly home to Liquid, and then briefly clubs called Pink and SOM Bar. The space is twice the size of the original Liquid, having taken over and combined a next-door space years go. As Slate the place is home to regular dance parties, a Thursday "dance karaoke" night, and it gets rented out for private events.

SFist will update you as we learn more about Spirit Animal, the new concept to come.

Five-year-old English-styled gastropub Gashead Tavern (2351 Mission Street) is being taken over by a trio of local bar vets and transformed into the kind of modern Irish bar that exists in Ireland — craft cocktails and all.

Casement's takes its name from Roger Casement, a gay Irish nationalist, poet, and human rights crusader who was executed for treason in 1916 — after the British government had circulated copies of his diaries, known as The Black Diaries, in which he detailed homosexual acts, in order to argue against clemency in his case. And the name, according to the new owners, is fitting for the type of inclusive Irish bar — sans shamrocks — that they're looking to create.

As SF Weekly details, the team behind the bar is Gillian Fitzgerald (Virgil’s Sea Room), Sean O’Donovan (Mission Bowling Club, Driftwood), and Chris Hastings (Lookout, Wes Burger N’ More), and the idea was born when Fitzgerald and O'Donovan worked together at Lower Haight Irish pub Nicky's.

"We’re all still here and in love with the city even though sometimes it doesn’t love us back," Fitzgerald tells the Weekly. "I want people to see our personalities come though, and not just as an Irish bar."

To that end, she says, the team will adorn the space with pictures of unconventional Irish heroes, like Thin Lizzy lead singer Phill Lynott, and drag queen gay rights activist Panti Bliss.

The casual neighborhood bar will sport Tecate on tap as well as some high-end cocktail-making, including house-made tonics for gin and tonics, and a focus on Irish whiskey from Ireland's new crop of craft distillers.

Food-wise, the kitchen is being taken over by the Chicano Nuevo pop-up, who may or may not be serving the tamales and tacos they've served up at El Rio, and who will reportedly be serving "elevated pub fare" including a seafood chowder. Also, there will be pies from Revenge Pies.

While the team is officially taking over Gashead Tavern as we speak, the transition over to Casement's is not set to be complete for several months. But stay tuned.

Casement's - Coming soon to 2351 Mission Street between 19th and 20th

First we lost Clothes Contact. Then we lost Multikulti, and Thrift Town. And now yet another funky vestige of the Mission of the 90s is going away: Retro Fit. BrokeAss Stuart breaks the sad news via a Facebook announcement from longtime owner Steven LeMay.

LeMay says, "Short and simple: The rumors are true. Retro Fit received a 30-day notice to vacate 910 Valencia St... so there's that."

LeMay has run the store, which opened on Valencia Street 20 years ago, for the last 12 years. As Stuart writes, "I’ve bought numerous wigs, coats, shirts, and weird costume stuff from Retro Fit over the years, but more than anything I just loved popping in to bask in Steven’s glorious sarcasm and sass."

The landlord reportedly tripled the rent on the space to $10,000 recently, and perhaps that just became unsustainable. In any event, we don't yet know if Retro Fit may live on in a new location, but suffice it to say, the Mission just got a little less weird, and that is bad.

One of the last large homeless encampments in the city is being "resolved" according to city officials, and the dozens of people who have been living there for about a year — or in some cases more — are all theoretically being offered beds in shelters or Navigation Centers. If they choose not to take such offers, they may try to return to this area to camp, but Mission Local reports that the city will be fencing it off and keeping it cleared of tents or other structures once everyone has moved out.

The encampment had about 40 people still in it as of August, according to the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, down from about 60 at its height. The encampments' constant encroaching — not to mention foot traffic — along a bike bridge that commuters use to circumnavigate the tangle of freeway ramps and overpasses here at the junction of 101, 280, and Cesar Chavez have been a big issue for bicyclists in particular — you can see how crowded it is in the video above, shot by a bicyclist in June.

Supervisor Hillary Ronen says that resolving this large encampment "could not be more urgent," and she tells Mission Local she's "worried that someone’s going to get killed" in the encampment, though she doesn't elaborate on the reasons for this fear.

Mission-wide, the number of individuals camping on the streets has been steadily declining in recent months, as Ronen discussed in this interview. An aide in her office, Carolina Morales, has been conducting regular homeless censuses of her own in the neighborhood, and she says there were just around 50 tents on the Mission's streets as of last Friday — not counting the Hairball — down from about 200 earlier this year. And, Ronen says, "There are no longer large encampments."

The Chronicle's Heather Knight credits Proposition Q, which voters passed last November, in combination with the opening of the city's fourth Navigation Center on South Van Ness which immediately created 120 new shelter beds. Under Prop Q, now referred to as Section 169 in the police code, city officials can clear any camps after giving campers 24 hours notice and the offer of a shelter bed. While some of the homeless Mission Local spoke to said that Navigation Centers are just glorified shelters and can feel uncomfortable and claustrophobic for any extended period of time, some have taken up the city's offer with the hope of finding more permanent housing.

It remains to be seen whether The Hairball will remain "resolved" after the city's work to resolve it, or whether, as many camping areas have in the past, it will return to its crowded state before long.

Good old Valencia Street brunch stalwart Boogaloos, which got hit with a massive rent hike two years ago and then a minor fire that shut the place down, seemingly for good, a year ago last March. But now as Mission Local reports, co-owner Carolyn Blair Brandeis, who co-founded Boogaloos in 1994 with Philip Bellber, has announced that Boogaloos will reopen in January, and this is in part thanks to a new lease from the same property manager who tried to quadruple the restaurant's rent two years back.

That property manager, J.J. Panzer, tells Mission Local, "I got sidetracked thinking about all kinds of different things: ‘Oh, the Mission and Valencia are going in this direction; everything’s blowing up! But then you realize, you know, let’s go back to the core of what you want to have there."

The restaurant's former rent was $4,200 a month, and Panzer has come back with a new lease for $7,500 a month, which Brandeis calls "more than fair."

So, back will come the biscuits and herb gravy, and that Temple o' Spuds — kind of like nachos but with hash brown potatoes. And the corner of Valencia and 22nd will be dark no more, at least during brunch and lunch hours — as before, Boogaloos will not be in the dinner business.

Boogaloos - 3296 22nd Street at Valencia - Reopening, hopefully, in January

@SFPDMission station officers investigating an assault & shooting at 25th & Treat. 4 people injured. #sfpd pic.twitter.com/fL56jmFc99

— SFPD Night Captains (@SFPDnightWatch) October 11, 2017

A gunman is on the loose Wednesday, the day after he shot four people on a busy Mission District street.

According to the San Francisco Police Department, the incident occurred at 7:06 p.m. Tuesday, at the corner of 25th Street and Treat Avenue, at the northwestern edge of Garfield Square Park.

Police say that a man who looked to be between 18-25 years old was witnessed chasing down a group of victims, firing his gun as he ran.

Injured in the attack were four men: One aged 56, another aged 60, a third aged 39, and a fourth aged 44.

Following the shooting, the suspect fled in a car driven by a second, unknown suspect.

The four victims were transported to an area hospital for treatment, police say, of injuries they characterize as "non-life threatening."

As of publication time, the motive for the shooting was not released to the public. Police do confirm, however, that the suspects remained at large as of Wednesday, and no arrests had been made in the case.

Things got a little heated at a Mission District restaurant Sunday night, when a patron attempted to set a fire...twice.

The alleged arson went down at 9:30 p.m. Sunday, at a restaurant near the busy intersection of 24th and Mission Streets.

Though San Francisco Police Department policy means they won't specify the name of the business at which a crime occurs, they're happy to offer other details of the incident. In this case, police say that a 38-year-old man entered the restaurant, then attempted to start a fire once inside the business.

He then fled the establishment, police say, and "set fire to items on the stairs," causing a blaze that was extinguished by an employee.

Police say that a vehicle and a cellphone were lost in the incident, but that they were able to nab the suspect and place him under arrest. As of publication time, the identity of the suspect and any information on what might have motivated the arson attempt has not been released to the public.

The apparent murder-suicide inside a parked car on a quiet Dolores Heights Street two weekends ago, which we learned a bit more about early last week, was allegedly the culmination of a long and volatile relationship between two people who met very young and had a child in their teens. The Chronicle delves into the tragic story which left 20-year-old mother, performer, and makeup enthusiast Susana Robles Desgarennes dead along with her ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old Angel Raygoza, whom she had apparently broken up with several weeks earlier.

Family friend Marlene Sanchez tells the paper that while Robles Desgarennes had never obtained a restraining order against Raygoza, she confided that she was scared of him, and that she wanted to stay someplace where Raygoza couldn't find her.

Robles Desgarennes had been staying with her sister, and the Saturday morning that she died, Raygoza had come by the sister's apartment to drop off their four-year-old daughter. He allegedly seemed "really normal and really nice," and offered Desgarennes a ride to school. (She was taking classes at City College and hoping to launch her own makeup line.) That was the last time anyone would see the pair alive.

Robles Desgarennes moved to the US from Mexico 10 years ago, and she apparently had little family nearby besides the sister, Paola Desgarennes, 23. She fell in love with Raygoza at a young age, and had a daughter with him, named Angel, when she was 16, and spent time living with Raygoza's family.

Mission Local reports, via the Desgarennes family, that Raygoza had allegedly been abusive in the past, but the family was still trying to piece together what happened. She had only cut things off with him two weeks earlier, and was staying temporarily with the sister and a roommate.

Friends tell the Chronicle that these had perhaps been two of the best weeks of Susana's young life, finally free from what was apparently an oppressive situation.

The SFPD investigation into the case remains open, however Police Chief Bill Scott had already suggested to the Police Commission last week that it was indeed a murder-suicide and no other suspects were at large.

A GoFundMe campaign is ongoing to raise funds to help with the immediate and ongoing care of Robles Desgarennes's daughter.

According to reports from both Mission Local and Broke-Ass Stewart, about 20 "Proud Boys" showed up to Southern Pacific Brewing Company on Friday night for a meetup. [Ed. note: See a statement from the Proud Boys below.]

The Proud Boys are the same alt-right fraternity, started by VICE Mag co-founder turned "pro-Western" pundit Gavin McInnes, that organized the rally in Berkeley this past March that led multiple others this year filled with violence between left and right. Specifically, the Proud Boys are dedicated to upholding many of the alt-right's anti-immigration, anti-Semitic, bigoted viewpoints, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, though the internal conflicts in the group over their association with white nationalists and Charlottesville were the subject of a recent This American Life segment. (McInnes liked to define the Proud Boys as "alt-right without the racism," and he likes to say they're "mostly about beer," but that became fraught after members of a local chapter allegedly took part in Charlottesville.)

On Saturday, following reports about the meetup, Southern Pacific Brewing Company posted an apology on Facebook trying to distance itself from the group. It reads:

To address the concerns of last night:
The security company that we employ were not immediately aware of the affiliation of the group that was let into the bar. After they were recognized by bar tending staff, the staff and security decided not to engage with this dangerous group to ensure the safety of everyone here. By no means does Southern Pacific support this group, and they are not welcome on the premises.

We’ve spoken to our security company so this group will not be allowed in. We understand your safety concerns. And want you to know that Southern Pacific is a non-affiliated space built for the San Francisco community.

On the one hand, it's disappointing to see that after learning who they were, Southern Pacific decided to act, and this all feels like a lukewarm excuse at best. But on the other hand, the group's previously documented aggression in Berkeley (which they and all others on the right will characterize as self-defense against "antifa") could be cause for concern.

According to the SPLC, the Proud Boys have what's called a "tactical defensive arm" called the Fraternal Order of the Alt-Knights (FOAK), which was formed by Bay Area alt-right figure Kyle Chapman, a.k.a. "Based Stickman" (and who knows if the Proud Boys officially recognize this as a thing).

As part of the initiation rites to join the Proud Boys, The Daily Dot says that members are asked to take punches while they name breakfast cereals, among other things. Ultimately, to reach the highest "degree" within the organization, the SPLC says that they're asked to get into a fight with an antifascist activist at a rally or action. Knowing that, one could maybe see where the Southern Pacific security staff were coming from.

But still, even then, there's no excuse for standing by while a group of white nationalists known for their violent proclivities occupy your space. It's neglecting your customers' safety in favor of not wanting to "pick a fight" with people who would otherwise be all-too-happy to start that fight themselves.

After news of the meetup spread, some people turned out to Southern Pacific's Yelp page to voice their unhappiness at the brewery's stance on hosting white nationalists. One person wrote, "I will never support a business that plays host to small minded bigots and their friends. Boycott this place." Another wrote, "When this bar realized they were hosting a group of white Nationalists, they didn't kick them out. Now they claim the racists aren't welcome to return but proudly refer to their own business as unaffiliated. Which side are you on?"

Update: Jason Van Dyke, an attorney for the Proud Boys issued a statement to SFist, "The Proud Boys is a multi-racial men’s fraternal organization founded by Gavin McInnes in 2016. It has diverse membership in the United States, Canada, the UK, and Australia. Neither The Proud Boys nor Mr. McInnes have ever espoused white nationalist, white supremacist, anti-Semitic, or alt-right views. Racism and anti-Semitism are not welcome in The Proud Boys. All member and chapters are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, skin color, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. The Proud Boys had nothing to do with the Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville and our members were not in attendance. Jason Kessler (the organizer of Unite the Right) is not a member of the fraternity, was not a member of the fraternity when Unite The Right took place, and is not eligible to join the fraternity." (Van Dyke also disclosed that he is a 3rd degree brother in the group.)

As Jose Coronado Playground continues to see improvements in signage, landscaping, and playground equipment, it's still being met with issues regarding the sex workers and pimps who often work in the area.

SF Fix-It, a team dedicated to improving recreation areas and other spaces in San Francisco, held a meeting where residents could voice their concerns over the presence of sex workers near the Mission playground.

According to a report from Mission Local, Police Captain Bill Griffin was in attendance, and admitted that the solution to this particular issue isn't quite so straightfoward. "It’s not quite as easy for us - it’s hit and miss,” he said. “We come out, we do enforcement actions, and the next day we’re right back to where we were before. So that’s a little more complex."

Joyce Ferman, who lives in the neighborhood, suggested, "If we had someone foot patrolling Shotwell street between 22nd and 17th - that’s where all the evil stuff is going on." Griffin replied, commenting on how his roster is already stretched thin. He said, "There are a lot of people who want foot beats. I don’t have a limitless number of officers.” Still, many neighbors persisted in asking for more patrols, possibly even bike patrols. Griffin asked, "What’s the solution? Is it parking cops down here in the middle of night? Is that what I need to do?" To which everyone replied, "Yes."

The SF Fix-It team has been working on improving the residential areas around the city for quite some time now. As the Chron shared back in March, the Fix-It team's director, Sandra Zuniga, reports directly to Mayor Ed Lee. "She will have my authority, as mayor, to coordinate all of the different departments," said Lee during a press conference announcing the establishment of the team.

Mission Local also reported on another meeting they had earlier this year in June, held at the Mission Pool and Playground. Neighbors and people local to the area attended that meeting where they also voiced their concern over feeling powerless in the face of the crime that runs rampant throughout the Mission. "During the day, we have a beautiful neighborhood,” said one attendee. “At night, we don’t have control of our neighborhood."

The Jose Coronado playground stands as a testament to the SF Fix-It team's ability to beautify spaces, but without the help of the SFPD or any other authorities, they're kind of unable to deal with a lot of the crime that still happens in the immediate area.

They do have help beyond the SFPD, though. Specifically, they have the ear of District 9 Supervisor Hillary Ronen, who sent an aide, Carolina Morales, to attend the meeting. Morales shared plans for a "sex work intervention team," as Mission Local puts it, who would roam the area in a van offering outreach to sex workers who might be in the area between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. They also said that the van would specifically search for possible human trafficking victims, especially minors.

Still, that team has yet to materialize, and police still haven't managed to curb the residents' growing worry.

It's the crime reporters' version of Groundhog Day, to write what seems like the same confounding report again and again. But here we are, once more talking about a law enforcement officer who makes the astonishing decision to leave his or her gun in their car as they park in San Francisco, only to have it stolen and used in a crime.

This time, the victim was 23 year-old Abel Enrique Esquivel, Jr., who police said via press release Wednesday was shot at 2 a.m. near 26th Street and South Van Ness Avenue on August 15.

Transported to San Francisco General Hospital, Esquivel died the following day.

On Monday, police arrested two suspects in the case, and on Tuesday a third. All three men — 18-year-old Erick Garcia Pineda and 24-year-old Jesus Perez-Araujo were nabbed at 16th and Mission, police say, and 18-year-old Daniel Cruz, arrested on the 2600 block of Mission — are SF residents who the San Francisco Police Department says were allegedly "responsible for several robberies that occurred in the Mission District between August 13th and August 15th," as well as an aggravated assault.

According to a GoFundMe page established by members of Esquivel's family, the victim was killed in one such robbery, when while walking home from his work as a night staffer at a local market, “two hooded individuals” who attempted to rob him fired the fatal shots.

According to the Chron, "Esquivel was a compassionate young man who volunteered at a community center in the Mission District."

It's towards the bottom of the SFPD press release that you see the clock flip.

During the course of the investigation, it was determined that the weapon used in the homicide was a personal firearm registered to a San Francisco Police officer that was stolen from his personal vehicle on August 12, 2017. The Department is conducting an internal investigation into the circumstance of the theft of the firearm.

Where have we heard this, or something like this, before? Oh, I know:

• May 29, 2016: A vehicle belonging to an FBI agent was broken into at Hayes and Pierce Streets, on the southern edge of Alamo Square Park. Stolen were the agent's badge and his FBI department-issued, fully loaded Glock 27, and ankle holster.
• March 25, 2016: San Francisco sheriff deputy’s gun, duty belt, and bullet proof vest were stolen from a Visitacion Valley home, as was an SFPD star
• February 19, 2016: An ICE agent lost his gun in the Ingleside after leaving it on top of his car and driving off
• January 28, 2016: Three handguns, an FBI badge, credentials, and “miscellaneous FBI property” were stolen from a car parked in Benicia
• October 18, 2015: An off-duty CHP officer was robbed of his his "personal" handgun after he left it in a backpack on the front seat of his Prius, parked at 8th and Howard
• September 13, 2015: An ICE agent's gun is stolen from a vehicle parked in SF, and was later used to kill an Oakland muralist
• June, 2015: A Bureau of Land Management agent left a gun "in a backpack in the back of his car 'in plain sight.'" After that gun was stolen, it was used to kill Kate Steinle. Her family has since filed suit against the BLM, charging "lax enforcement of gun safety regulations among the law enforcement agencies involved."

In this most recent case, the San Francisco Police Officers Association followed up the SFPD release with a statement that took things from bad to worse, saying that the officer was apparently so freewheeling with his car gun that he didn't even know it was gone:

A few weeks ago, a vehicle belonging to an SFPD officer was burglarized and the officer's personal firearm was stolen, unbeknownst to him. There were no visible signs of the burglary, and the officer did not realize that the vehicle had been broken into, nor that the firearm had been stolen. Days after the burglary, that firearm was used in a gang-related homicide. The officer, a highly-decorated veteran, is devastated. He is working with the Department to fully comply with its investigation into this case.

Police have not released where they believe the theft to have occurred (though, how could they know, if the police officer didn't even notice his gun was gone?), nor any details on the officer. Following Wednesday night's Police Commission meeting, SFPD chief Bill Scott said little was known regarding the crime. “As far as our department policy, there is a department policy on storage of weapons in vehicles, it’s pretty clear,” Scott told CBS 5.

“The weapon is supposed to be stored in a locked container that is affixed to the vehicle. So, I don’t have the details for that because the investigation is ongoing, but there is a policy for that.”

Former Supervisor David Campos, who launched the locked container regulations back in 2015, told NBC Bay Area that his law was proposed specifically to avoid tragedies like this one.

"The idea was to make sure that every person in the city, every San Franciscan, knows if they have a responsibility if they have a gun and they leave it in a vehicle, it has to be secured."

"If anything," Campos said, "there's an expectation that police officers would be held to a higher standard."

SF Police Commissioner Petra DeJesus appears to agree with Campos regarding standards for officers, telling CBS that when she heard the news of the homicide weapon's origins, "I was surprised."

“Given the fact that guns in officers’ cars have been in the news in the last 18 months and crime being committed by that," DeJesus said, "I was concerned and surprised that there wouldn’t be more care in leaving a gun in a car.”

If the gun was indeed unsecured, Mission District Supervisor Hilary Ronen says “The officer needs to be held accountable."

Speaking with the Ex, Ronen says “If anyone should be setting an example of how to safely store weapons in vehicles especially given a number of tragedies that have occurred… it is sworn police officers. They should be setting an example.”

Meanwhile, the suspects in Esquivel's death are currently off the streets and in custody at San Francisco County Jail. Pineda faces charges of "homicide, multiple counts of robbery, conspiracy, burglary and attempted murder," the SFPD says. Perez-Araujo was booked on multiple counts of robbery, burglary, and conspiracy, and Cruz faces homicide, conspiracy, robbery and possession of stolen property charges.

A 60-year-old man apparently in crisis prompted a sizable response from the SFPD Sunday morning at 23rd and Mission. The man, who may or may not be homeless, was wandering in the middle of Mission Street holding a knife to his throat around 10:20 a.m. Police shut down the street between 23rd and 24th Street for approximately an hour, and as seen in the video above, police ultimately shot non-lethal rounds at the man, though they did not initially seem to have much effect on him, as Mission Local reports.

A separate video of the incident (location unknown) reportedly shows a woman who approached the man at one point during the altercation, and the man grabs her by the neck and throws her to the ground.

Mission Local reports via a witness that he heard the woman identify herself as the man's sister, and "that it wasn’t the first time he had done something like this."

In total, the man was shot three times by non-lethal rounds, and he was ultimately taken into custody. The police reopened the street and declared the situation resolved by 11:30 a.m. Sunday.

If you feel like more and more cars are being broken into on SF streets, you're not wrong: According to data from the San Francisco Police Department, there's been a 28 percent jump in reported auto burglaries as of 2017.

The SF Examiner gets the credit for this revelation, as it was they who put in a public records request that forced SFPD to give up the numbers. And the numbers are not good, as police say that as of July 2017, there were 17,970 reported vehicle break-ins in San Francisco. That's nearly four thousand more than this time last year, when police say 13,995 were reported.

Hardest hit was SFPD's Northern District, which covers the oft tourist-laden area in this map:

The Ex reports that there have been 4,003 reported auto burglaries in that area so far this year, a 40 percent increase over the figures from 2016.

But the most shocking increase was suffered by those served by SFPD's Mission Station, which covers the area you see in this map:

Reported break-ins of vehicles parked in that zone have tripled since last year, with "a 182 percent spike from 601" reported break-ins this time in 2016 to 1,693 in 2017, the Ex reports.

SFPD spokesperson David Stevenson seemed nonplussed when contacted by the Ex, saying via email only that “The numbers reflect a trend that requires further analysis."

Chief [Bill] Scott has directed the Department to increase its uniformed presence on city streets to deter these and other quality of life crimes,” Stevenson said via email, but did not elaborate further.

Supervisor Hillary Ronen, whose District 9 includes some of Mission Station's coverage area, was less circumspect when speaking with the Ex. “I’m not surprised and I’m angry,” she said.

“My constituents are angry about the epidemic of car break-ins in San Francisco and my district as well," she said. “It has not felt like the city has taken this seriously enough or has had an adequate response,”

An argument at a busy Mission District intersection turned violent Thursday afternoon, when one of the subjects pulled out a sharp object and started stabbing.

Police say the confrontation occurred at around 1:40 p.m. Thursday, at the corner of 24th and Folsom Streets.

According to the San Francsico Police Department, two men "got into a verbal argument which turned physical." Suddenly, the suspect walked behind the 26-year-old victim "and used an unknown sharp object to stab" him. The suspect then fled on foot, and was last seen headed east on 24th.

The victim was rushed to an area hospital for treatment of injuries police say are not life-threatening. The suspect remains at large, police say, and no arrests have been made in the case.
