Chesa Boudin, the previous DA, was ousted in large part due to his prosecuting rogue police officers. His progressive policies and interest in restorative justice made him an extra easy target. The issues of crime and homelessness in San Francisco predate Boudin, and while current DA has a much more cozy relationship with the police (she disbanded the group investigating/prosecuting police misconduct) the crime trajectory hasn't changed.
- kenneth 4y agoThe DA should focus on prosecuting the criminals, not the police. I don't think the police are the ones ruining SF at the moment.
- theGnuMe 4y agoBut what if the real criminals are the cops…
- mansion7 4y agoThe cops stabbed him while yelling "This is MAGA country!"
- inferiorhuman 4y agoAnd what happens when the cops are the criminals?
- AlexandrB 4y agoSome criminals happen to be police officers. And they have a lot more power to harm people than the average street criminal. So I disagree. Criminality from police officers also broadly undermines faith in the rule of law. The entire summer of BLM protests can be viewed as an expression of that.
