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.

While the sentiment is very much appreciated, isn't this more correlation than causation? Crime rates decreasing everywhere due to reduced activity.

Only if you take the suggestion to be that releasing ppl is causing the drop. But I don’t—I read it as rebutting the claim that releasing inmates right now would increase crime. That crime continues to drop is solid (though not conclusive) evidence for that rebuttal.

The overwhelming majority of arrests involve crimes with no identifiable “sheep” or with physically absent “sheep” (car break ins, etc)

SF has been aggressively releasing and deferring people out of the court system for years and our property crime rate climbed to be the highest in the nation. Seems like that’s at odds with your stance. Your thoughts?
