      All the outrage about this thread are a good reminder of who we consider citizens, whose feelings matter, and who the law is meant to protect.https://twitter.com/michelletandler/status/1411943649231851522 …

      First time being trolled by a San Francisco public official. (Kate is a Senior Director at the SF DA's office.) Guess something I'm saying is hitting a nerve. pic.twitter.com/Vu7a2MR0rZ

      I don't know live in SF anymore (I left last year, for reasons entirely unrelated to crime, school names, and Miami) so I admittedly know a lot less about what's happening there these days. But the responses to this are pretty telling.

      Residents feel unsafe, and we have to listen to those feelings. Law enforcement shouldn't intimidate its citizens. The DA works for us.

      These concerns aren't wrong - I mostly agree with them! But a lot of folks sure get riled up about them when some people say them, and are pretty unconcerned when other people do.

      Bad or good, @chesaboudin and his policies are likely a reaction to country of law enforcement agencies that very much make residents feel unsafe.https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/03/letter-from-black-america-police-115545/ …

          They're a reaction to an army of DAs who very much intimidate their citizens, and not with tweets, but with aggressive, brutal sentencing.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/10/the-black-family-in-the-age-of-mass-incarceration/403246/#Chapter%20II …

          But those concerns - those fears, also from DAs' citizens, though notice who's called a citizen and who isn't - don't ignite this same anger or trigger the same recalls.

          Such is the American caste system. The government is meant to serve at some people's pleasure, protecting them, listening to their fears, dutifully taking their criticisms.

          For other people, government is just enforcement, an often literal occupying force, not meant to represent but to exploit and extract. To intimidate, by design.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/08/14/where-minority-communities-still-have-overwhelmingly-white-police/ …

          My problem isn't that people challenge Boudin. It's that Boudin is the only one that a lot of people want to challenge.

          Same idea. The tell isn't that so much of Silicon Valley is mad at these people; the tell is that they can't seem to find the same energy for anyone else.https://twitter.com/polotek/status/1410714653529808897 …

          It makes me angry that stuff like this can happen but we can't seem to activate any processes to oust the treasonous seditionists within our government. This isn't a defense of Newsom. I'm saying there are way worse people who need to be removed and this isn't happening for them https://twitter.com/latimes/status/1410713071824392196 …
