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.
- jeremysalwen 5y agoThe 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.
