Apparently you can’t read because it isn’t just because it is a misdemeanor but because of the refusal of Chesa Boudin to prosecute. Look who is picking and choosing which facts to ignore and choosing to spin a narrative. Go watch all the news even of left sided news. There are a lot of complaints about how businesses and communities are hurt. There are increasing calls to fund the police and some communities are starting to do that. Even Chesa Boudin is now saying that businesses need to protected. Even London Breed is saying the same. They just arrested a person who was on a serial shoplifting spree. Police were complaining that they would arrest people and the DA would just let them free. https://youtu.be/2jrnhaLzCqA https://youtu.be/2jrnhaLzCqA https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/suspected-shoplifter-from-viral-video-at-san-francisco-walgreens-arrested-for-spree-of-thefts/ar-AALk3bE https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/suspected-shoplifter-fr... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/san-francisco-confronts-surging-crime-drugs-and-homelessness-as-it-tries-to-bounce-back-from-covid-19/ar-AALmLGx https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/san-francisco-confronts...

  It's absolutely shocking that homicides are up in 2020 given that a good chunk of SF's population fled during the year and most of the bars/stores were closed and the streets were empty. If homicides were up in that environment, this is very, very bad news for 2021 and 2022.

  Hmmm. This isn’t the full picture. The 753% stat is for the Central district and is compared to 2019.
