Umm, no they are under instructions directly from Chesa Boudin, He initiated a reduction of pretrial incarceration and reduction of cash bail. His DA office is only trying ~50% of crimes compared to other major cities where the percent is 80-90%. In addition he is facing a recall this coming June.

Neither of those policies affect whether or not the police make an arrest.

You claim: "they are under instructions directly from Chesa Boudin" Article you linked says: Absolutely nothing to support this You claim: "His DA office is only trying ~50% of crimes compared to other major cities" Article you linked says: The charging rate was completely unchanged when Boudin became DA. If you are going to make an outrageous claim that "they are under instructions directly from Chesa Boudin" you have to provide evidence that this is true, otherwise it will appear to be a lie.

  Did you actually read the article I linked? Property crime has increased dramatically under Boudin in SF. Here you go(murders also increased as well but not as dramatically): 2018 - 10,058 property crimes 2019 - 9,404 property crimes Boudin Elected 2020 - 13,632 property crimes 44% increase 2021 - 6,180 property crimes (half year of stats only) Boudin has initiated a catch and release for non-felony crimes which means the police arrest someone for breaking into a apartment and they are on the streets the next day due to no cash bail. Charging rates are extremely low(from 2018-2019) as the previous SF DA George Gascon initiated the same policies as Boudin and went to LA as DA and he(gascon) is also being recalled.

    The question is whether "[the police] are under instructions directly from Chesa Boudin [not to arrest people for property crime]" as you claimed. This claim appears to be a lie, the article you linked provides no supporting evidence, and your followup comment as well provides no supporting evidence. When pressed on this point, you are relying on deflection to other criticisms you have of Boudin. Eliminating cash bail is in no way, shape, or form a direct instruction to not arrest property criminals.

> under instructions directly from Chesa Boudin That is not the chain of command. They're completely separate bureaucracies.

  District Attorneys wield a ton of power. ADAs get marching orders, and cops act based on what the ADAs want to prosecute. If they want public intoxication collars, all of the sudden they will appear. Anytime someone tells you the DA is some bystander, laugh.

    Cops act on what their police chief and union tell them to do.
