If we locked up all the people that made Karen feel unsafe in our society we would have very very few left, me certainly not included. These poor mentally ill people need to go somewhere other than jail, and chesa is kind for implementing that change.

Not to jail unless he has to, which is honestly new, given that 85% of our jail system has been diagnosed with mental illness.

Not jail, okay, but where? It seems they are being left untreated on the street to me

In this moment of pandemic, the street is safer than jail for them. Something desperately and absolutely needs to be done and it's a humanitarian disaster and a moral shame it is not being dealt with properly.

Where would you send the homeless and mentally ill if you were DA?

Don't send them anywhere they are not the problem of the prohibitively costly mass incarceration system, allow the public health rather than public safety to address.

We don't have enough room for the people that want to be in treatment and it's much more effective in that circumstance. Mandatory treatment isn't a magic bullet either.

your boy cheesy bread isn’t using *any* of the bullets, magic or otherwise. He should be pushing to expand alternative sentencing rather than stopping prosecutions altogether. He has the power to help people, but he is not using it.

First we would need the facilities to send them to, which we neither have enough of for the people that want to be there in normal times, or have been open at all due to covid for most of @chesaboudin 's time in office.
