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.
If you fired all the police, the crime rate would be zero. If you don't arrest anyone, there won't be anyone in jail. How f**king stupid are you? SF stopped arresting people, of course the crime rate is down. But crime is still happening, likely at higher rates than before.
