Every DA prioritizes cases. Boudin saying he would prioritize prosecutions of law-breaking that previous DAs (like most in America) let slide doesn’t mean he won’t also prosecute violent criminals. In fact, he has said he will.
If you're honest about it, the best you can say is that locking up millions of people has not resulted in America becoming less violent nor crime-free. Yes, look at us now, we're finally turning a page on a pattern that will be rued in history like slavery & segregation are now.

I believe you believe this. I have no intention of disabusing you of your cherished beliefs. They are your beliefs. Perhaps you will live long enough so that the illusions will disintegrate of their accord. Perhaps not. Enjoy for now your daily bread.

Thankfully many "illusions" ARE disintegrating at this time, including: a) kids and teens must be in schools all day; b) America can never reckon with our racist history and present; and c) The Federal government can't afford expensive programs like universal health care.

No society is crime-free. Human nature is not infinitely perfectable. And lol, we’ve turned that page of history a long time ago. You are not as important as you think you are.

My apology for mis-speaking, I meant “MORE crime-free” (I should’ve said “lower crime rates”), not 100% crime-free.
