SF cops can't protect witnesses; unsolved murder rate soars

It's Bad Behavior Friday,™ though it gives me no joy to report this latest fuckup. One of the few people every to agree to testify in a gang murder case in the last few years was assassinated in broad daylight yesterday.

To be fair, the guy had been moved out of town in a witness protection program and had been warned not to come back for his own safety. He came back to get his car fixed -- back to his own gang-ridden neighborhood -- and somebody spotted him and he got popped. So he's a stupid fuck in a number of different ways.

The unsolved murder rate is the highest in years, the SF Weekly reported in January.
