I don't think the critique of police is correct in this case. Agree w/you on risks of intervention. But also don't think police responding to sideshow complaints is the same as police targeting black and brown people for minor traffic violations to look for drugs and weapons.
Once eyes start turning toward him, it seems the DA will try to turn them right back on the police for acting the very way he wanted them to act. Evidence of that is in his original tweet and that makes him a hypocrite.

Thanks for taking the time for this exchange & walking through your reasoning. I don't see this as an effort to point attention away from his office. But that's probably because I'm a fan of his policies thus far & expect they'll ultimately help improve safety outcomes in SF.

That said, I'll continue to track the sideshow conversation. I thought that criticism was confusing at best, and see the implied correlation between the sideshow and subsequent shooting as inconsistent with other things I've heard him say. Though not hypocritical.
