This breaks my heart. Courtney’s unalienable right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness was never a priority for a DA that fetishizes releasing criminals & enforcing laws arbitrarily. It should be our priority to get @chesaboudin out of office. https://twitter.com/chesaboudin/status/1257816106468663297?s=21 …https://twitter.com/chesaboudin/status/1257816106468663297 …

Courtney was my friend. You’re a very good friend, too, so seeing this disheartens me. This post does nothing to honor Courtney or address the root causes of gun violence. It’s political grandstanding. Please save your attacks on
@ChesaBoudin for another time and place.1 reply 1 retweet 60 likes -
That's like saying we can't talk about gun reform after a school shooting. I take no pleasure in my discontent with our DA. But I live in SF & not a day goes by without someone I love mentioning a harassment story. Moments like these are the time & place for uncomfortable truths

Show me the link between Chesa and Courtney’s death and I’ll retract my statement.

In Feb, Stanford Review concluded: Boudin’s sympathy with violent criminals will have real and negative effects on law-abiding residents, property and small business owners. It will ruin public spaces in SF and potentially endanger lives (see facts herein)https://stanfordreview.org/chesa-boudin-san-franciscos-lawless-revolutionary/amp/ …

This is an opinion piece that doesn’t talk about how we address the root causes of gun violence in SF that killed Courtney. SF needs to be a safer place for all. The systemic issues must be discussed. I want to hear from all of our leaders on this, not just Chesa.

Boudin’s decision regarding gang enhancements seems pretty directly relevant to Mission violence writ large

Seriously curious, is there data to back this up? Too soon to tell? Want to make sure that we are responsive to data > rhetoric.

yup also curious about this. i'm not an expert on the topic but have seen very little covered in the way of prosecutions of any kind from this DA (so, probably no data); instead he focuses on the implementation of a political agenda that seems counter to crime realities in SF

(btw i meant his policy change was directly relevant to crime in the Mission as in, that violence has been reported on as strongly tied to gang activity and so his policy is directly relevant to prosecution of it. not that it had increased it.)

Agreed data & evidence is definitely key. But based on the evidence I've seen, there are lots of substantive reasons & examples to be skeptical of Chesa's record-- based on both his statements & decisions as DA. Always open to be convinced otherwise. https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/SF-police-union-calls-on-feds-to-prosecute-man-15008195.php …
