Looks like there was the funeral of a gang member at the Serra Mortuary on Valencia & 26th on Friday night. (There were so many cops I initially thought it was a police funeral.)
And I can confirm the increased sightings of SFPD dirtbikes all over the place — I must have seen half a dozen while driving along Potrero this afternoon.
yeah, because people are getting killed in the mission.

We’re not complaining.
I spotted these near Mission Minis a couple weeks ago. All in all, the dirtbikes make them much more approachable as public servants, and make sense in the Mission. http://life.danielrehn.com/sfpd-to-serve-rad-tricks
I hadn’t seen SFPD dirtbikes on this scale since critical mass three years ago. It seems like they stopped using them in favor of the giant tank-o-cycles. I also never see any police bicycles around mass anymore.
Maybe they re-found the cache of forgotten dirtbikes in a neglected police shed.
