Healthcare professionals demanded we drastically reduce the jail population, so we listened. On Jan 21, the SF jail population was 1,238. On March 4, when the emergency was declared, it was 1,097. Yesterday, it was 766. Meanwhile, crime rates continue to decrease in SF.
@chesaboudin thinks we are stupid. Take a look at what goes on in the TL. Just because you dont charge things others DAs would doesn't mean crime is going down. It means we have a guy playing politics in the DAs office.
