Police should do their job because we pay them to do it. If they're involved in some kind of work slow down because they don't agree with the prosecutors policies then they're playing a dangerous game with public safety and they should be fired.
- mardifoufs 5y agoMy point is that it isn't their job to create laws or decide what is or isn't legal. This is like saying prosecutors should just do their job, and get bad people into prison no matter what pesky judges decide. It's not a slowdown or a conflict, it's the prosecution saying those crimes are defacto legal now. It's very dishonest to pretend it's just "work slowdown". And btw I probably... Dislike the police more than most, a lot more even. But I also don't like prosecutors. I also think that you have to live with the consequences of whatever policy you want. So you can't basically vote for situations like these to be "legalized" to then scapegoat the police. It's fine to think some property crimes shouldn't be punished, but you have to accept that it leads to stuff like this. Now if that's a good trade-off for SF residents then I honestly don't see the problem.
