I hope whoever replaces him doesn't end some of the more fundamental reforms like not charging minors as adults.
Pretty hard to prosecute petty theft with Prop 47 in power, and it sounds like there was also a pretty major decrease in policing of petty crime over the last few years - that's not a DA fault, that's the mayor.
- sporkland 4y agoThe common refrain was that they'd arrest folks multiple times and the DA would release them, so why bother arresting them in the first place. I'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle and the police deserve a fair slice of blame, but so did Chesa. I think San Franciscans are sick of both sides and looking to send a message. Now the police have no excuses, and if it doesn't get better Chief of Police and Breed will be next.
