This is an article from February 2022 by the pro SF DA Boudin SF Standard. Boudin has now been recalled and the excellent new DA Brooke Jenkins has started cleaning house. It will take some time - there are still lots of people openly selling stolen retail merchandize on the streets and the cartel drug dealers are still openly selling Fentanyl in open air drug markets - but the tide is slowly turning.

Remember how everyone piled on Boudin for working to get his parents released? Turns out Jenkins is doing the same thing for Mayor Breed's brother. Meanwhile Jenkins withdrew over a dozen drug cases because she felt that Boudin overcharged those people. If you really believe cronyism will turn the tide, I've some oceanfront property in Kansas to sell you. https://sfist.com/2022/07/28/state-ag-refuses-da-jenkins-request-to-take-breeds-brothers-case-plus-case-involving-jenkins-family/ https://sfist.com/2022/07/28/state-ag-refuses-da-jenkins-req... https://www.davisvanguard.org/2022/07/regardless-of-what-da-jenkins-did-with-standalone-drug-charges-enforcement-is-not-the-answer-to-sfs-drug-problems-public-defenders-say/ https://www.davisvanguard.org/2022/07/regardless-of-what-da-...

    > What game are you playing? Did you read the article? Yeah she's stepped back from the case and asked the state AG to do Mayor Breed a solid. More or less the same exact thing that people tried to flog Boudin for doing (his parents were part of the Weather Underground). Meanwhile Ms. Tough-on-Crime Jenkins is claiming Soft-on-Crime Boudin overcharged a number of drug cases… which seems to run counter to the narrative being pushed of her being tough on drug crime. What game are YOU playing?

      "asked the state AG to do Mayor Breed a solid" What did Jenkins ask of the AG, apart from asking them to take the case?

Jenkins has recused herself from the SF Mayor's brother murder sentence reduction case. There will be another election in the fall for the SF DA so Jenkins is in electioneering mode this summer as well as cleaning house. Boudin hasn't indicated if he is going to attempt to be campaign to be reelected - he has a lot of local progressive support.

    Jenkins is also making sure to see it through by trying to hand it off to the stat AG. She should've never been involved in the first place. Jenkins doesn't have much to worry about as she's pretty clearly just a mouthpiece for Breed – it's why one of Breed's people was there to oversee Jenkins' first all hands meeting with DA staff. In a sane world Boudin wouldn't have a chance at re-election, but it seems like there are enough anti-Boudin folks who want to run that he may actually have a chance.

      @inferiorhuman I suspect your position is on the progressive side of the spectrum. I don't think Jenkins is 'just a mouthpiece for Breed'. She was the former lead hate crimes prosecutor under the permissive Boudin in the DA office before resigning due to lack of progress. She is very focused on destroying the cartel drug dealers in SF, and doesn't spend much time on prosecuting substance abuse victims.
