This level of minor crime is cheaper than the mass incarceration cure we are attempting. We should choose a different more humane path, it's more effective at addressing violent crime.

So, we just allow that to run rampant, like the current DA in SF wants to? That's ridiculous. Gangs, dealers and others have made large parts of the city uninhabitable or un-walkable. People don't feel safe on the streets. This is 100% directly due to lax policy and enablement

Gangs and dealers are best financially rewarded by our continued brutal, violent and oppressive police state, ensuring a continued lucrative and profitable market.pic.twitter.com/Cnt6wRhh97

I hear you there - I would much prefer legalization and taxation. But in the meantime, we could prevent them from congregating on the streets, leaving needles and mayhem in their wake. New York accomplished this in the 90s. This can be accomplished again - with proper policy.

Our own laws confiscating property where users gather and drug use and sales take place has uniquely created the outdoor open air drug markets we have in San Francisco, but our brutal violent police state certainly doesn't help, we would like drugs users off the street, let them.

Yes we need to stop racial injustice propagated by law enforcement. Drug policy is particularly fraught in this area. But we also can’t hide behind social justice while the streets become un-walkable. We need to find the right balance. 1/

We cannot hide behind statistics boards when simple neighborhood walks reveal contradicting facts. 2/

Fact is there is a pandemic on in case you haven't noticed and our enlightened DA
@chesaboudin aced in compliance and with the spirit of our@HouseJudiciary as they called for our criminal justice system to release as many prisoners as possible.https://judiciary.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=2893 …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

That's an ace to you? You're out of your mind. So people that were deemed not fit for society are now roaming the streets. Terrible policy. You clearly have not walked the Tenderloin or other areas. This is not a fix - it's a huge problem. What if they attack their accusers?

Our society imprisons both the greatest number and the greatest percentage of people in the history of mankind, this terrible policy has no evidence to recommend it, and yet modern slavery persists.https://twitter.com/ChasingPodcast/status/1291174243829460992 …

Then how do you address growing crime in SF and NYC and other cities/areas? The more lax policies that SF enacts, the more it attracts that element, and incentivizes crime. It's crazy to think this can work.
