The biggest problem is that the Cops 1) hate the DA because he's charging them with crimes, and 2) have a terrible clearance rate, which predates the current DA. They're hoping to drum up the narrative that this is his fault and replace him in a recall election. To some extent, it's working. Every time you talk to the cops right now, they will tell you that the crime is the DA's fault.
