Boudin: Perhaps half of drug sellers in SF have been trafficked from Honduras, on pain of death to themselves or their family. It's not as simple as making more arrests. Not an effective deterrent.

Question on charges with racial disparities and reducing racially-motivated charges. Boudin: aware of the ways in which resisting arrest charges are used to cover up police misconduct. We will not be complicit in covering up excessive force.

Boudin: policy to review bodycam footage before filing resisting arrest charges. Other policies to address racial disparities. Won't prosecute contraband-only charges from pretextual traffic stops.

Aside: the statistics Boudin is referencing were talked about in the SF Police Commission we live-tweeted earlier! He's got the facts right.

Question: does DA have capacity to partner with agencies that work on root causes of crime. Boudin: this gets at the heart of why I ran for office, to make criminal justice more humane.

Boudin: will continue to fight hard to improve public safety through a humanistic approach. We can't always undo the harm crime has caused, but we can prevent future crime.
