Just spoke briefly with a cop from @SFPDNorthern.
Incredibly thoughtful man.
He said some burglars have been caught 8+ times yet are back on the street. Said, "what are we waiting for? Somebody to get hurt?"
Neighbors - get video cameras. PD needs footage to solve crime.
My argument is not that prison is the best solution nor an effective one. I'm arguing it's better than our 2020 COVID-safe approach: "we will yell about masks and impose quarantines but will ignore everything else, including vehicle theft, car break-ins and stayaway orders"

Well you are complaining about one of the most effective responses, as the epidemiological epicenter of this crisis, our
@SF_DPH had previously tasked@chesaboudin with reducing incarceration by 300 non-violent people, of which you seem to complain about? https://sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/justice-driven-data/an-epidemic-inside-a-pandemic/ …pic.twitter.com/sHtvne6mvw

I'm not complaining about the risk of COVID in our jails. I'm complaining about the excusing of what I'd call "heavy crime" simply because a proven and undeterred criminal may be exposed to COVID in jail. I have no empathy for those who can't treat their community with respect.
