The California Highway Patrol will assist in training and traffic enforcement while the California National Guard will help analyze drug trafficking operations with the aim of dismantling them, according to the statement.
Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday that California’s Highway Patrol and the National Guard will bring in additional people and resources to help San Francisco battle its worsening fentanyl drug crisis. The announcement highlights a serious concern in the city where Newsom was once Mayor. Overdose deaths have soared by over 40% since this time of year in 2022, and authorities have been unable to stop rampant open-air drug dealing and use.
Newsom said in a statement that the partnership will “crack down on crime linked to the fentanyl crisis” and hold “poison peddlers accountable.” The operation will not result in criminalizing people addicted to drugs, the statement said.
The news was welcomed by San Francisco Mayor London Breed, the District Attorney’s office, and the Police Chief, who have all vowed to get tough on large-scale drug traffickers.
Newsom made a surprise visit this week to the city’s Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods, which are rife with drug use and dealing. Mayor Breed has repeatedly pledged to crack down on drug dealing in the Tenderloin, but conditions have not improved.

ReplyDeleteShould worry about your own state.

California is full of cartel activities, specially illegal Marijuana cartels mainly Chinese.
DeleteChinese are kicking California in the A$$
That's the least too worry about Marijuana is nothing stop everything else
DeleteLol if the DEA and or regional drug task forces can't dismantle fenti networks what additional expert knowledge can the national guard provide lol idk just my 2 cents
ReplyDeleteConnor your full of it, just my 2 cents.
DeleteConner gets a penny for his thoughts it's dry humor _rocks
DeleteJust wait until they bring in the marines!
DeleteIronically the same politicians and their policies that generated this mess are now creating the “fix”.
ReplyDeletePurdue started this mess, the DEA made it even worse by outlawing most pain pills, then the cartels stepped up and filled the gap left in the market with the crazy strong opioid fentanyl.
DeleteNow we have extremely strong meth with is causing pshycosis and extremely strong opioid causing dependence.. with them both combined we have homelessness and death.
9:18 Negative chief .
Delete9:18 that and people moving to harder drugs also it wasnt as penalized but theyre giving out sentences to those getting pinched like candy 10+years
Delete9:18 Extremely strong opioids causing death, not dependence. Dependence is yesterday’s news.
DeleteI'm not sure more repression, more weapons and more officers will help.
ReplyDeleteI mean after 30 years of WoD we have more cheaper and stronger drugs than ever.
Just don't see why more of the same failed policy suddenly will start working, but hey I am not a tax funded director with all the relevant information at my disposal.
Fentanyl has been an issue in Calexico, Brawley, Hemet, Victorville, Joshua Tree, Desert Hot Springs, Indio, Victorville, Fresno, Bakersfield, and Stockton. But no, it's only an issue now that it's in Frisco. Fuck Newsom
ReplyDeleteStates like West Virginia,Kentucky,Ohio have some of the highest rate of deaths from opioids.Aren't those red states.
DeleteLol so true
Delete“Overdose deaths have soared by over 40% since this time of year in 2022”
Delete@9:11, you do know Newsom isn't president yet right?
DeleteNewsom for President!!! Yeahhhh
DeleteWhat's Gavin Newsome going to do? Provide the addicts with needles and keys to a luxury motel while asking for more billions. That guys a fucken disaster, and to think he wants to run for president. 🤦🏽♂️
ReplyDeleteWhat's your solution wiseguy? That does not cost money.More prisons?
DeleteLol true. That guy is a delusional globalist democrat. Just like the rest of them. Dirty little player.
Delete905 so you think free housing and needles is the solution? Because although there's some sarcasm behind my comment, it's actually true... as far as more prisons, that's actually not a bad idea, maybe followed by harsher sentences. Of course, harsher sentences is not even an option under Newsome, the guy enabled crime in San Francisco and proceeded to follow through with the whole state. Now he's asking for help for the shit show he created.
DeleteYea right. There is s state in the US where all small amount of drugs are decrimilized. We already did harsh sentences and nothing happen.
Delete1043 you're retarded. Harsher sentences lowers crime and violence. You're out of touch like your mentor ALMO. Look at everything california is facing as a result of these liberal policies. Homelessness is rampant because public drug use laws and camping ordinances are not being enforced. Catalytic converter thefts are at an all time high in California because again, the laws against that crime are not strict enough. Thefts in general are up. You have bike thefts, car thefts, home invasions and follow home robberies, department store smash and grabs, the list is endless. There's also vehicle related crimes like street takeovers and there is a car chase in los angeles atleast once a day, sometimes you have up to 3. Why? Because officers are being advised to stand down, despite the gravity of the crime. But you wanna sit here and talk about more relaxed sentences and less jails is the answer? You must be a young.
DeleteAs is said often California is the 5th richest economy,no amount of Republican crying would change that.Meanwhile most federal money grifting states are Republican states, while also low in education and health care and more crimes per capita.Republicans are frauds.
DeleteJail does not work like you think.The heroin,cocaine, crack epidemic happened and now fent,it keeps happening no matter the jail sentences.Besides the jails are full and you have to feed them.There is no 100% solution,not easy.Besides most users have jobs.
11:08 If harsher sentences lowers crime then what’s your explanation for America in the 70s
Delete659. What happened in the 70's?
Delete10:39 Extremely harsh sentencing for drugs happened.. And the problem didn’t decrease, it increased.
Delete10:39 In New York in the late 70s, having 2 ounces or more of cocaine meant a mandatory life imprisonment with no chance of parole before 15 years and from what I remember, Nevada infamously used to hand down life sentences for certain marijuana sentences in those days.
DeleteIn the 80s it was crack, but since it affected blacks it wasn't such an issue. Now it's fent and sure it's more deadly, but most importantly it's affectimg hoods not overcrowded with gun and liquor stores if ya get my drift.
ReplyDeleteNope homie I don't get your drift.
DeleteMe neither
Delete09:21 no. Statistics show that more blacks and browns are dying from the fentanyl crisis than whites. White Nazi prison gangs also enjoy smoking pills in the trailer park while shooting meth or vice versa.
DeleteMira la Gente muy Culero en San Francisco.
Don't make this a race thing when it isn't. All communities are adversely affected by the way fentanyl is manufactured, wholesale distributors, retailed, and the consumed. And wow you have a pill that costs around $1 peso dollar which can then be sold in the USA for like 10 x more or 100 x more.... ($0.50 cent US to $5 US).
Ok but still no pharmacological/biological comparison to fentanyl so you’re not making a strong point really.
DeleteYou go woke and you get broke. They voted for this idiot and now its time to pay for. Jajajajaja
ReplyDeleteCalifornia has the 5th richest economy in the world.
Delete9:40
DeleteHe did not cause the issues at hand.
Next you will say he spoon fed you Fentynal.
Not sure what you are talking about and from where you get your infos but USA is listed on nr7.
Deletehttps://www.visualcapitalist.com/worlds-richest-countries-2023-gdp-per-capita/
How much du you pay when you call an emergency ambulance, how much to give birth to a baby? Thats your root cause, and thats when people are literally forced to self medication. Of course purdue is at fault too but your crooked docs are also to blame. They should have known better. And its still mainly an american problem so it must have something to do with the american way.
4:05 Economic output and per capita wealth are very different things. The US has the highest GDP of over $23 trillion. Californias GDP alone is $3.7 trillion making it the 5th largest in the world, ahead of India.
DeleteGo back to simple misdemeanor and felony arrest and jail time. Let fuckers go threw with drawl in county every time. Under the influence jail, pipe or tool jail, simple possession jail. If you want a second chance stay clean and pass drug court.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteDude California prisons are filled with fentanyl wtf are you talking about?? Almost everyone I know who’s been arrested the past few years has been offered it in there even before making bail.
Delete06:56 isn’t prison cool! You can have fentanyl and get free hand jobs all day if you trade your chips or give up a tray or summin
Delete12:43 or if you’re just in county over night
DeleteBut I thought all the democrats said san francisco was a sanctuary of liberal policies and didn't have any such problems. They said it was safe and to say otherwise makes you racist and uncaring and any other brainwashed/ braindead lefty argument they have made to defend these dangerous policies.
ReplyDeleteIf they actually had “liberal” progressive policies there then drugs would be legally regulated and the fent market would be all but dead within a few weeks.
Delete@6:54 no you're right I'm sure san francisco implemented and follows a strict conservative policy of rules, laws and regulations.
DeleteBack tho the FACT.
ReplyDeleteIF THE US WANTED TO GET RID OF DRUGS, THEY WOULD...
but do they REALLY want to lose all that money???
NOPE! 💵 💰 $$
Nope you wrong.
Delete1:11 of course not, let them flood the streets of Los Angeles with drugs and let's give them a FREE survival kit bag with needles and other things to make it easier for them to get high.
DeleteRidiculous! The US is a mess right now 🤦♂️
10:41
DeleteDon't forget to thank the Mexican cartels, that get people to smuggle the illegal contraband to USA, also don't forget to Thank ALMO, for doing little to curb, drug flow to USA. I have to admit he is doing some Sinaloa fentanyl labs, but unfortunately rarely going for CJNG drug labs.
Newsom is preparing for possible 2024 presidential run where he will point to involving national guard as an escalated commitment to winning war in drugs.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. That strategy has been proposed by several presidential candidates before him.
DeleteToo late. He would’ve announced his campaign by now. He’s definitely propping himself up for potential presidency but not in 2024.
DeleteIs not too late to announce. Biden has not yet announced. If Biden does not run Newsom is expected to run and is likely the most viable candidate.
Delete6:53 News flash it was not to late.
DeleteAs a matter of fact.......
He has announced he is running again.
Viva Biden?
Only way is to make Dilaudid available.
ReplyDeleteThey better leave SF’s cocaine dealers alone then. Focusing on all drugs just exaggerates the criminal proclivity towards fentanyl. Fentanyl needs to be “not worth it” from a criminal’s perspective for such activity to decrease.
ReplyDeleteHow convenient that they just anoounced a huge bust in the tenderloin district
ReplyDeleteNewsom for President 2024!!!!
ReplyDeletefuck that mf!! has california under water. what you want him to finish off the country too!!!????
DeletePresident Biden will be making an announcement today, if he will be running. If he doesn't run Governor Newsom is an excellent candidate.
DeleteThe last thing we want is the clown with the letter T. to run again.
Humans by nature are rebellious, the only way to teach them a lesson when they donsomething bad is thru punishment!!! Death to fentanyl and heroin dealers!!!
