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.

The data you referenced only goes through the end of February and and began in October 2019, three months before Chesa took office. Even then, crime ticked down from December to January and again January to February.pic.twitter.com/7tG02Pvmv9

The point is rapid decarceration is clearly not a public safety safety threat right now and should be done in every jurisdiction in the country as health care professionals demand.

No shit crime is down. Everyone is stuck in their homes because of the COVID quarantine. This is a unique, temporary phenomenon that has nothing to do with Chesa's releasing of criminals. Once the quarantine ends crime will shoot back up again.
