The district attorney until last July was a very progressive opposite of tough on crime prosecutor named Chesa Boudin. In july he lost a recall election, and Breed appointed Brooke Jenkins who was also previously a DA but quit to support the recall election of Boudin. Jenkins has to run for the position in November - currently she's only serving the rest of Boudin's term. So the 'tough on crime' stuff is very new, at the speed the courts move. As for the police, the people said they hate the police and the police heard them loud and clear, and are leaving on their own. For the same reasons, far fewer people are interested in joining their police force. Why be a police officer in a place that hates you? https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/san-francisco-grapples-drastic-drop-police-recruits/ https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/san-francisco-grap... https://abc7news.com/san-francisco-police-department-shortage-staffing-sfpd-chief-william-scott/12094352/ https://abc7news.com/san-francisco-police-department-shortag...
