> San Francisco's District Attorney
Predictable outcome of voting Chesa Boudin into power.
> refusal to convict criminals
I know that something similar happened with Pete Holmes in Seattle as district attorney. The attorney's office was so reluctant to prosecute crime, that police stopped responding to minor crimes all together.
As of 2022 both people have been voted out of office despite being in deep-blue electorates. Hopefully this points to a more sensible approach towards policing and prosecution in the future.
