5/8/04: The Bayview/Hunters Point Neighborhood in the southeast corner of San Francisco has been under siege this week.
Beginning on Monday, the occupying army of the SFPD was joined by the California Highway Patrol. People were stopped for any reason, or no reason at all- cars were impounded for not having current registration, arrests were made, and over 190 citations were given out on Monday alone. As of Friday the 7th, there were still checkpoints near key intersections in the area. The increased police presence is seen by many to be in response to the recent killing of police officer Isaac Espinoza in the Bayview.
