The last straw for me was when someone shot up our block for no reason. My neighbor witnessed this and was so traumatized she was hospitalized. They are mostly seniors who don’t need to live the rest of their lives in fear.

How in the world is that Chesa’s fault? What would you propose he do as crime skyrockets across the US? And what impacts do you think your proposals might have on other communities? I think your anger is misdirected.

The fact that drug dealers operate with impunity in the Tenderloin is more than enough reason to recall Chesa.

He’s offering a different approach to addressing issues in our society, but he can’t do it alone. His role is to refuse to use law to punish people for system failures. It’s the state, Mayor Breeds and the BOS’ responsibility to pass laws that support effective responses.

Translation of
@chesaboudin’s approach -“His role is to refuse to use law to punish people for system failures”- into plain English: “Criminals are not criminals. They’re victims of the system. Therefore I will treat them w/kid gloves - if innocents get hurt: too bad, so sad.”3 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -

Let’s also talk about the white-frame this comes from: it’s correct we don’t want innocent people to get hurt. But how do you define “innocent people”? Are you including the unintended consequences of overpolicing in black and brown neighborhoods?

Friend, you may not know this: the main victims of the crime wave are not comfortable white folks like you and me. It’s black people. Also, I like facts and reason. I don’t like ideology, especially the racialization of everything by progressives, which often is racist itself.

It’s always so interesting me to see takes like yours. You’re like “lock em up!” Instead of: How do we help these folks? How do we solve homelessness? How do we HELP our neighbors? They’re also disproportionately folks of color. But you care about YOU, not them.
