We're working hard to reduce the fear & lawlessness created by drug dealers in the Tenderloin: Surveillance at GG/Hyde today resulted in 3 more off the street. 1 armed w/brass knuckles, 2 were fugitives in open cases. $2,000 cash & 400+ bindles fentanyl, heroin etc seized.
Uh, just because were not incarcerating quite as many people as the rest of our incarceration happy nation, does not mean we do not have a mass incarceration problem. We still have more people incarcerated than any country in europe by capita.

Yeah, but Europe and US are a bit difficult to compare.

Why? Are the us people somehow inherently more criminal, or might the government here be more oppressive?

Wow I didn’t know this, 25% foreign population in general makes for 75% of the prison population. I keep saying, the US is racist, the EU is xenophobic.

I have not seen an incarceration rate comparison between a representative EU nation and SF. I have seen compassions between SF and other CA cities and ours is and has been since Gascon much much much lower.

It looks to be about 2x 3x of European countries, and about half of Russia, which is also in Europe.
