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 crime rate is down because you ordered the police department to quit arresting suspects for certain crimes. So the actual crime rate didn’t go down, arrests went down while the crimes continued. Nice try though.
