The city of San Francisco is suing four companies it accuses of feeding the opioid crisis sweeping the country.

San Francisco Recovery Advocate Tom Wolf said these kinds of lawsuits are important. Ge saud the addiction to over prescribed pharmaceutical opioids has led to the crisis we're now seeing in the streets.

This weekend, a special task force led by the Alameda County Sheriff's Department busted a prolific dealer and confiscated more than 92 pounds of illegal fentanyl. "Did we disrupt the supply chain of fentanyl in the Bay Area? We would say we did not,” said Lieutenant Ray Kelly. “We would equate this to shutting down one gas station in a particular city, there are several other gas stations that people can go to."
