Not Robo-cops, but cops on electric, stand-up scooters. The SFPD is giving the scooters, which are not made by Segway, a two-week trial. Wednesday officers Eric Balmy and Julio Bandoni gave them a spin.

"We were hesitant to get on these things,'' Balmy said. "But you know what? It's a blast.''

Economical too. Officer Richard Lee, who is in transportation, says "It takes $62 a day to run a black and white cruiser. These run six to eight hours on 44 cents.''

Just another way SF cops can waste time making 80k a year and not doing there jobs.

SF cops are a joke. Ride horseback through golden gate park, ride motocross motorcycles through golden gate park, ride bicycles through north beach and castro, ride cars...but never get out and bust anybody. Stay way away from the neighborhoods where there is crime, and have an over presence where they are not needed...beach, parks, market street etc.

You got to shoot somebody in this city before the cops will even bother with you...and even then the gun better still be smoking or they will let you go.

Total joke, worst violent crime solving rate in the country here in SF...that would be ok but we have 2000 cops....what a joke.
