Just spoke briefly with a cop from @SFPDNorthern.
Incredibly thoughtful man.
He said some burglars have been caught 8+ times yet are back on the street. Said, "what are we waiting for? Somebody to get hurt?"
Neighbors - get video cameras. PD needs footage to solve crime.
Well you are complaining about one of the most effective responses, as the epidemiological epicenter of this crisis, our @SF_DPH had previously tasked @chesaboudin with reducing incarceration by 300 non-violent people, of which you seem to complain about?

I'm not complaining about the risk of COVID in our jails. I'm complaining about the excusing of what I'd call "heavy crime" simply because a proven and undeterred criminal may be exposed to COVID in jail. I have no empathy for those who can't treat their community with respect.

On that note - you're advocating for change here. I'm interested in hearing your ideas: how would you handle this specific individual if not jail? I'm all for helping those who demonstrate a desire to change, grow, and work hard to improve both themselves & their situations.
