SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- San Francisco is trying a controversial new tactic for battling the city's fentanyl overdose crisis by giving law enforcement officers a green light to arrest some drug users. Mayor London Breed proclaimed, "Compassion is killing people. We have to change what is happening on the streets. It’s too easy getting drugs … they are dying under our watch."A 2023 surge in fentanyl overdose deaths, unbridled open-air drug markets operating in plain sight, and overwhelmed San Francisco Police Department officers combined into a humanitarian crisis in the city. Within the first five months of 2023, 346 people died in San Francisco from accidental drug overdoses. Police Chief Bill Scott said a crackdown on open-air drug use in the Tenderloin resulted in dozens of recent arrests. JJ Smith is an anti-drug advocate who frequently talks to unsheltered residents and tries to connect them with addiction treatment services. On Friday, Smith asked people living in tents along s...
