A lot of replies seem to come from people who have never been to HP...or if they did, they did a quick drive through. If you've been anywhere besides a quick drive-by on 3rd, you'll have seen plenty of cops that don't seem to be 'scared' of HP. People act like it's a nightmare there...there are PLENTY of great people and just like any area, places have their bad seeds...of course HP has a higher amount of crime than most areas in SF but to say the police are scared of it is almost an insult to the people who reside there.
If people truly cared about what's going on there ( instead of using it to up Youtube views SMH ), why not get to the root of real problems and help cease the absolute senseless murders of young males ( and females ) that happens on a daily basis? Why not worry about getting to the young children before they can follow in the failing footsteps of some of their very young parents?
