I just got robbed at gunpoint right next to my house in San Francisco 2 hours ago. They took everything - phone, work laptop, wallet, documents, etc.
Congrats, @chesaboudin, you are winning.

Ug this makes me so sad. I hope it isn't viewed as a victimless property crime.

Property crimes are not viewed as victimless. Someone owns the property and the owner is the victim. But this is an armed robbery - it is a violent and dangerous crime. It is exactly the kind of crime I've committed to prioritizing.

Thank you for responding
@chesaboudin. SF is my hometown and it breaks my heart to see how much crime has become the new normal. Is there anything residents & citizens can do to help?1 reply 0 retweets 6 likes -

For starters, it would be good to share accurate information. I don’t know what new normal means, but I do know violent crime is down and approaching 20 year lows. Property crime is down but still way above nat’l average. You must define the problem before prescribing a solution.

(1) looks like violent crime is projected +5% and thefts from cars is way up from 2016? (2) SF routinely ranks amongst the highest in per capita property crime among large cities. sources: (1) https://sfgov.org/scorecards/public-safety/violent-crime-rate-and-property-crime-rate … (2) https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/The-Scanner-San-Francisco-ranks-No-1-in-13267113.php …

Projections. Less important than real data. SFPD data: Homicides in San Francisco are flirting with a 50 year low, and violent crime categories were not only down last year, they are down again, so far, this year.https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2019/08/21/san-francisco-crime-at-lowest-level-in-decades-officials-say/ …

Jan ‘20: released crime data show that violent crime in San Francisco dropped by 6 percent last year compared to the previous year, police said Tuesday. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/san-francisco/san-francisco-officials-unveil-new-crime-stats/2218901/ …

So as I said, define the problem before offering a solution. Problem: property crime Solution: bifurcated approach as the DA has defined. Violent crime obviously requires vigilance. But don’t conflate the approach to car breakins with how SF is dealing with violent crime.

Maybe crime is down because it's not being reported because the police do nothing.
