A sign posted in this San Francisco street area indicates the you need to apply "the Disengagement Strategem" when approached by a panhandler, a fraudster, drug dealer or other suspicious looking character. This may occur all over the City, and the approachee may be well-dressed and sophisticated. The "Disengagement Strategem" requires that you ignore the approachee, do not look at him (her), NEVER look them in the eye, don't talk, don't treat them as if they were another human being. The approachee want to connect to you as a human being for the purpose of extorting or damaging you either financially, psychologically or physically. Don't let this happen. Apply the Strategem. Go about your own business.
