The weather is least likely to kill you but the fentanyl is most likely to kill you — and @chesaboudin says “If people want to kill themselves with drugs there’s nothing we can do about it.”https://twitter.com/kittystryker/status/1410288731769040905 …

Replying to @SusanDReynolds @chesaboudin
It's funny though, cause your pinned tweet of the quote says something different- "As long as we have people who are addicted to drugs, who are willing to destroy their own bodies and their own lives, no amount of investment on the law enforcement is going to solve this problem."

Note how it says "no amount of investment *on the law enforcement*". That's an important distinction. There's lots of other things we can do about it. More robust mental health care. Alternatives to twelve step programs. Distribution of narcan and testing strips. Education.

Also interesting - the only place I see that quote is you, and the police union. Both of whom appear to have a bias. I don't see any reference to where or when or what context the DA said this, and that seems to be a manipulation by design to encourage hysteria.

As far as I'm aware, the police have saved less people with fentanyl as local mutual aid organizations like West Oakland Punks With Lunch https://www.punkswithlunch.org/ , or Fentcheck https://fentcheck.org/ So perhaps they should be getting the funding the police currently get.

Really comes down to, do you care about saving the lives of addicts, or do you care about saving the pensions of police?

Prosecuting drug dealers would save addict lives. SF had more fentanyl than covid deaths

This is about the length of prison terms, not about prosecuting illegal drug dealing.

I'd much rather see rapists serve time, frankly. Drug related crimes already serve more time than violence against women more often than not and that is a fucked priority.

You do know that Chesa let a sexual assaulter out who then raped another woman right? He doesn’t have a great track record on rapes or domestic violence (he let a guy go who then killed a baby).
