As our country comes to terms with the damage caused by our excessive reliance on punishment as a response to crime, the use of the criminal law to sustain racial hierarchies, and the ways the justice system has undermined our democracy and weakened communities,

Non punishment as a response to crime has been tried: It's called a Republic of Pirates. Also consider Somalia. Instead, people shouldn't steal, rob, rape, assault, murder, etc... Claiming that "the justice system has undermined our democracy" disqualifies you as a DA.

1.Seriously? You don't believe that Black people have been imprisoned at a disproportionate rate compared to white people? While city governments & police waged war on inner city people of color, my white BF sold weed, shrooms & then cocaine with impunity.

"Black people have been imprisoned at a disproportionate rate" -- that unfortunately may be true, but also that group has a higher rate of crime as well, so that shouldn't be ignored. Your white BF should've been prosecuted if caught. Removing racism shouldn't mean soft on crime

Also, we must remember, theft of $950 or less is a misdemeanor.

If a line of people keep smashing your car windows and/or keep stealing $950 dollars of your stuff, over and over... Are you ok with that?

Has that happened to you? Over & over again you're getting $950 worth of property stollen? What's your solution? My husband told me 15 years ago, "NEVER leave anything of value in the car or anything of possible value out in the open."

I've been around SF, and I've seen families/tourists who _had to_ have their luggage in their cars for a stop. Their car trashed, all their stuff stolen. I'm not ok with that. The _humane_ thing would be to be on their side. It's not their fault. Robbers are not humane.
