      If you asked people in Chinatown, what they want from the local police? They want *more* foot patrols more police cams, *more* progress on investigations, *more police presence*. 9/

      Whereas Black and Brown communities have experienced the downsides of too much police interaction, Asians have received little to no police attention. This is due to language, cultural and even immigration barriers. 12/

      Weirdly this has united Asian Americans with Black and Brown communities in their belief that they can't depend on the police or their local officials to respond to their needs. 13/

      Of course, this is where liberal whites, who hold the majority of political power in SF, come into play. 14/

      Too often they've come to rely on the police to deal with the homeless and people with mental health problems, that they see on the street. 15/

      There are better resources to utilize in these situations such as the Homeless Outreach Team or the mobile crisis team. But unfortunately people in whiter, more affluent neighborhoods are quicker to use 911. 16/

      This is meant to illustrate the challenges ahead in reforming law enforcement, prosecutions, incarceration and a general broken justice system. 17/

      I feel that reforming the SFPD is only one arena on a multi-front battle to create a fairer justice system. 18/

      We already have a reform-minded District Attorney in @chesaboudin who is focused on ending mass incarceration, changing how we conduct prosecutions and already done incredible things such as ending cash bail. 19/

          The state legislature has already enacted into law (#AB392) who changes the police use of deadly force standard, from times when it’s “reasonable’’ to when it’s “necessary.’’ 20/

          SF needs to expand the resources of the Homeless Outreach Team and the mobile crisis team so that residents stop calling the police to respond to problems that they're really not trained for or meant to deal with. 21/

          And finally, (the hardest part) we need to strengthen the bonds within neighborhoods and communities so that no one ever feels alone or that they can't call for help. So that tensions never devolve to the point where a riot is ever a possibility. 22/

          I know that neighborhood associations are a dime a dozen in SF but they need to be deepened and broadened so they're more than just a NextDoor comment section. 23/

          Some neighborhoods are already great at this. The Mission, the Tenderloin, the Castro, very active constituencies. 24/

          Like always, if San Francisco can be reconcile all these competing needs, it'll be a model for cities to follow in terms of community policing, criminal justice reform, and community organizing. A model that will make sure that another George Floyd never happens again. 25/25
