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.

No, what has created the open air markets, are that police have been told to stand down and not make arrests for brazenly breaking the law in broad daylight. Get users into treatment centers, dealers off the streets. Simple.

Criminalizing more people isn't going to prevent crime. Society has to improve the social conditions that produce poverty. That is the basis for most criminal behavior. There are legislative solutions for that, but as I said before, it's beyond the scope of what a DA can do.

And you made the key point there at the end. The DA should prosecute those that break the law. Circumstances dictate sentencing by the judge or jury. The SF DA has abdicated his responsibility and cares more for criminals than for victims. Get him out immediately.

Actually in this land of mass incarceration were the average american commits three felonies a day, our prosecutors discretion is especially vital. Our laws our dysfunctional, incoherent and cruel our system only functions because of its humanity.https://twitter.com/ChasingPodcast/status/1293622979314593792 …

Chasing Justice Podcast @ChasingPodcast“None of you cared about prosecutorial discretion as this train was flying 100 m.p.h. towards mass incarceration. But now that I’m pulling the break up and trying to switch the tracks so we are going to try to turn around, miraculously you have an issue with that.” -@DARollinsShow this thread2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

This is nonsensical. The average American does not commit felonies.

There is no evidence of this whatsoever. Purely anecdotal, and it's clear you have no data to back up your claims. SF has failed in their duties to keep the city safe and clean for its tax-payers. That is CLEAR for anyone that actually lives here.

Ok I can simply prove each of us illegal in a tweet. We all contain DMT a schedule 1 substance it is illegal to be under the influence of, or be in possession of, so owning a dog is a felony.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6088236/ …
