The Bay is having history repeat in front of our eyes. It's the Gold Rush year of 1849 all over again.
Tech Settlers (Gold Rush Miners), who are migrating from all around the world, in record numbers into Northern California and pushing out the Blacks/Mexicans (Natives) out.
The Police (Hounds), who terrorize the Blacks/Mexicans (Natives), so that they can leave their native lands and make way for more Tech Settlers (Gold Rush Miners).
History of The Hounds:
They levied widely and freely, paraded ostentatiously to music every Sunday. They also were always ready to serve as jurors, or as witnesses on either side of a case, for pay, and could be hired to drive a squatter, or a settler, from his land, to burn a house, and to beat, or kill a man. Strangers unable to defend themselves seldom escaped their attention. Men from Sing Sing and convicts from Sydney joined the "Hounds," and taught them how to enlarge their sphere of usefulness. Pride was growing with power, they became ashamed of the old name, and called themselves "The San Francisco Society of Regulators." "It was a model system of vagabondage, a Platonic republic for vagrants and blackguards, and might most truthfully have been named a Society for the Promotion of Vice, or a veritable Hell-fire Club." They regulated elections, they collected debts for pay, considered a bill conclusive evidence of its justice, and, without trial, seized property if payment was refused.
