Either you are lying or the mainstream media is lying. I am not having ANY luck with mainstream media, but I can't just trust you either. Show me your data.

> Nearly 95% of people arrested for drug use in San Francisco since May 30 are from out of town, Police Chief Bill Scott said at a public hearing this week, corroborating perceptions that many residents already have — that their city has become a magnet for the narcotics trade.

Honestly, just do the same exercise, get the booking records from jails and run background search on the names.

1. Police routinely lie.

2. Even if you believe them, this is about who they chose to arrest during a two week period in one small neighborhood. You can't get any more cherry-picked than that.

3. This doesn't even mention homeless people.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Homeless in SF are just people who got evicted because the rent is 5% too high. Of course.

Do you know what "Tenderloin" is in SF?
