“Why are there no dealers in jail?” 1. Vast majority of people who sell, suffer from substance use issues. 2. Arrest/jail/prison exacerbates addiction. Increases recidivism. 3. 100% of those jailed for drugs will soon be released. 4. Substance use is a public health issue.https://twitter.com/SusanDReynolds/status/1445532327942123523 …

Scott Hechinger Retweeted Socal LegalEagle 2021
As a public defender, I represented literally thousands of people charged with possession & sale of substances over nearly 10 years. Saw the overlap between “sellers” & “users.” I got to know them well. Their families. Everyday, witnessed the cruel cycle of arrest & use. You?https://twitter.com/socallegaleagl1/status/1447294752869605376 …

Scott Hechinger Retweeted Stanley Roberts
I watched your copaganda film, Stanley. You interviewed exclusively police. And one neighbor who disparaged people in need as “addicts” “druggies” “junkies” “the homeless” & “dangerous.” This isn’t serious journalism. And didn’t address or “debunk” any of my points.

All these folks in my replies so deeply invested in caging their way out of a public health issue. Now acknowledging “some might be suffering from use.” “But others connected with cartels!!” “And not really users!!” “So there Scott!” No. End the costly, racist, failed drug war.

Replying to @ScottHech
Interesting, I didn’t attack you but you attacked me. Your NYC Bar report places you in
#SanFrancisco but you claim to be in#LosAngeles. Ironically, you are not listed on the@fjp_org website but you are receiving mail there. So basically you’re with@chesaboudin.pic.twitter.com/kib5McQHyG

Takes less than a second on Zealous to know that he’s coming from a place of personal bias and has a strong narrative to push. Unsurprising he supports @chesaboudin. Not sure he’s trying to hide it though…pic.twitter.com/TWieZ1nUK3
