"Boudin also became the first San Francisco DA to file homicide charges against city police officers." Wonder if that has anything to do with it. Edit: I am literally wondering - I have no knowledge of the situation.

Nah, probably more to do with this: https://nypost.com/2021/12/16/how-george-soros-funded-progressive-das-behind-us-crime-surge/ https://nypost.com/2021/12/16/how-george-soros-funded-progre...

It was for shooting an unarmed man in the back. "The bodycam footage shows [Officer] Samayoa drawing his pistol while the cruiser was still moving. The video then shows him open the side door and fire a single shot through the window as O’Neil runs by in the opposite direction. O’Neil was not armed." https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/national-international/former-san-francisco-rookie-cop-in-court-in-2017-fatal-shooting-of-unarmed-man/2883306/ https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/national-international/forme...

  Lol SF has a third of the crime rate of Milwaukee and Kansas City. Are those crime ridden cities as well?
  - justaman 4y ago
    Milwaukee sure is. Check youtube for "Kia boys".
  - tyen_ 4y ago
    Certain parts yes.
  - samatman 4y ago
    Is this a serious question? Yes of course, the murder clearance rate in those cities is sickening.

    If it’s not reported, it’s not crime

    The official crime rate is artificially low because nobody reports, investigates, or punishes the crimes that occur.
    - less_less 4y ago
      To be clear: are you claiming that the official crime rate is artificially low in SF in general, or specifically under Boudin? For all types of crimes, or just property crimes? And do you have a source for any of this? (I understand that official stats will not be a source for a claim that the official stats are lies, but is there something beyond speculation?) I personally have my doubts. Boudin said he would shift emphasis away from prosecuting individual petty crimes, where the perpetrator would just be out on the street again anyway due to overcrowded prisons, but would still prosecute violent crimes and organized crime. So you would expect reporting rates of violent crimes to be about the same as before, and indeed violent crimes in SF are following trends in other US cities, with a moderate uptick in murder but other violent crime at historic lows. For petty crimes like car breakins and bike theft, the police weren't going to solve this anyway unless it happened directly in front of them. The nationwide clearance rate for such crimes (of the ones people even bother to report) is like 15% or less. People don't report these crimes in hopes of someone getting prosecuted, they report them because their insurance policies require it, and that didn't change under Boudin.

  Where did OP scapegoat any of these groups you mention?
  - fatjokes 4y ago
    Not OP, but the anti-recall movement. Admittedly scapegoating Asians is more related to the school board recall but it's related. See the following article which touches on all this. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/06/how-san-francisco-became-failed-city/661199/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/06/how-san-fr...

  If the data from SF's own website, plus the FBI's UCR site is accurate, crime is mostly down over time, peaking in SF in 2014/2015. There was a bump in some crime types during the pandemic, but that was a national trend. https://sfgov.org/scorecards/public-safety/violent-crime-rate-and-property-crime-rate https://sfgov.org/scorecards/public-safety/violent-crime-rat... https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr
