All the lies and scare tactics behind the GOP campaign to recall SF DA @chesaboudin can be dizzying.
I mean, the forest here is obvi a desperate plea for more failed, racist incarceration. But it's worth seeing that the trees are rotten.
So here's a THREAD w/ some FACTS:
We weren't *prosecuted*. No cop said, "well, I'm not even gonna lift a finger because the DA is a pussy who won't send those kids to prison!" Nobody wants to spend time with cops. nobody wants to get caught, but the POLICE are creating a self fulfilling prophecy here.

And I'm not spewing liberal BS. Go down to any cafe in North beach and you'll find a slew of cops having coffee. Just ask them. It's no secret. They'll tell you it's almost pointless to arrest people because they know they won't be sent to prison

So, non-violent property crime is going unreported and unenforced. The DA is pretty much doing exactly what he told the voters he would do - and they elected him. The recall campaign: "we don't have enough votes to win , but we can force you to spend taxpayer time and money"
