I never visited this station though it's close to my house…read more A newly refurbished, sleek and modernized building drew my attention combined with my son wearing his Chinatown SFFD t-shirt: I wanted to get him a t-shirt from this station - plus he's outgrowing everything, suddenly sprouting 4" and three shoe sizes. Not many San Franciscans know this but each SFFD station has its own logo and they sell t-shirts for $20 to raise money for the station's fundraisers. In Chinatown, the logo is the Chinese dragon, in the Haight it's the Grateful Dead logo and here it's a cool logo number 5. The firemen gave us a tour of their new digs, the deep red, sturdy steel cages for their gear rather than old-fashioned wood lockers, the ladder truck and the District 2 SUV whose captain is on duty 24/7. I should've taken photos inside but it's nearby so I'll post more soon. And yes, the firemen are all good-lookin', it's that hero thang!

Let me preface by saying that, no, I have not committed any crimes or misdemeanors to my knowledge…read morein talking about my visit here. With shelter in place still in effect, my family fell victim to a hit and run accident several weeks before my visit to this station to file a police report. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the damage was only to my dad's old car that was parked in front of the house. I tried to file a report online, but, with shelter in place, the policy is that I file a report at any police station. Since most of my work is in the downtown and Chinatown area, I stopped in on a June weekday afternoon here. No one else was in the waiting area so I walked up to the windowed counter and explained my situation. Officer Pacchetti helped me start the form, writing down details as I dictated the information to her. For the personal information portion, she brought the form out on a clipboard and handed it to me to complete and sign. Once done, I walked to the window and returned it to her. She gave me her email address so that I could share photos from the accident as well as a video from our security monitor. Before getting a receipt from her, I noticed a display case and a few shirts that were for sale. Knowing several friends who also grew up in the neighborhood, I bought a couple of shirts as gifts (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sfpd-central-district-police-station-san-francisco?select=OucyhFC7BOgD4D02KePxgg). Thanks for making this a painless process.

It's Halloween in a high-use area, where people from all over the city an the greater Bay Area come to get drunk, get high, and act like idiots and there are no police around. Dispatchers only response is they've been getting noise complaints about this location all night...two blocks from Central Station. This is an assault on the people who live here who have to put up with this b______t every weekend, some of whom have kids, have to go to work, are elderly, or sick. SFPD is just useless. They all live in Novato anyway.

While I rode shotgun running errands with my realtor neighbor (he has the most interesting stories about the houses and parties he's been to), I jumped out to buy a SFFD T-shirt for my son. Every firehouse has its own logo T-shirt, proceeds support the station and it's cool to collect them. If you have a child or niece or nephew who seems to have everything, get one of these shirts. You'll support the SFFD and your kid will get bragging rights!

"Fire, Fire, Fire." I'm always on fire when I walk pass the fire department... just thinking about…read morethe firemen makes me hot. Hoses, ladders, and poles...oh my goodness... HOT FIRE BELOW ;-)! No hook-and-ladder can be found at this fire station, just a fire engine, rescue/medic, good-lookin' firemen, a chef, and one fire woman :-)! With the station just half a block away from my apartment, I hear the sirens every 10 minutes (when I'm home chillin'), but it doesn't bother me. Once I hear the engine coming, I drop whatever I am doing, run to a window to check it out. A few minutes later, I will hear it coming up the hill, I will drop whatever I am doing and run to the window and check it out...again! Some of the firemen are so f'ing sexy, I almost want to start a "fake" fire (a small one) in the apartment so they can come and save the day! Okay, maybe thinking about it is alright, but not actually doing it. If it's a 1st Alarm Fire, Fire Engine Co #28 is the first to respond and I just realized that is why the engine is out all the time. A fun fact: engines are staffed with 1 officer and 3 firefighters. On nice, sunny nights and days, a few firemen can be spotted throwing the football around on the sidewalk. If you're lucky, they may even ask you to play with them ;-)!

So what tf is his issue I thought but 4 sum reason was more focused on my own dilemma than I was his attitude. But I'll never forget that interaction between me & anyone that night but especially that of thee officer. Because you see in my mind (at that time) I could understand why bad ppl or oppressed ppl rob (not justifying it but it's not hard 2 get) but what I can't justify is a cop who's sole responsibility & purpose is 2 protect & serve not protecting & not serving. When I politely asked him (w/ 3 fresh holes in me & moaning in pain) what his problem was cuz usually in these situations the cop assists the victim not victimize the innocent. I'll never forget his bologna headed response, "C'mon! Please! Save it. That innocent sh!t is way overblown..!" I looked on now w/ the pain of disbelief at what's before me, puzzled & perplexed I felt a myriad of emotions inside of me. & he followed up, w/out missing a beat, "Victim today, criminal tomorrow!" He told me this as I laid in current agonizing pain & as the paramedics were preparing 2 place me in the back of their ambulance. I responded back 2 him w/out missing a beat & out of anger 4 his apparent lack of courtesy, professionalism & most of all empathy. "Why I could say the same thing about you...! KKKop today KKKriminal tomorrow...!" Sure I don't have 2 tell, but he ain't like that & so conversation that day was done.
