I was raised in a high crime area, went to 90% bipoc public schools. People were more scared of rats than a guy with a gun. They would want to fight 10 people, but would run if they thought there was a ghost. Scared of dying in a COVID infested prisons may be a good deterrent.

"Prisons are good for punishing criminals and keeping them off the street, but prison sentences (particularly long sentences) are unlikely to deter future crime. Prisons actually may have the opposite effect: Inmates learn more effective crime strategies.https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/five-things-about-deterrence#:~:text=Sending%20an%20individual%20convicted%20of,unlikely%20to%20deter%20future%20crime …

I agree, I don't want prisons. I want them gone. Even in the highest crime demographic, a majority don't resort to crime, right? I think our supportive system has the unfortunate side effect of not hurting them enough to change. Renounce citizenship and live free elsewhere.

When we overpolice a specific demographic we find more crime there, I think behavior has very little to do with who we criminalize. Imo it's mostly criminalization of poverty.

Overpolicing is chicken vs egg. i.e Racism =security packaging on the most commonly stolen products? Funny in SF, bad areas could be good if people behaved better. It's 100% on them. Same Houses, same amenities, it's just behaviors. By removing criminals, poor become good.pic.twitter.com/elkJaR3QpP

Who leaves their trash on corner in OMI, but not Sunset/Richmond. Whose kids graffiti? Why do poor have bars on windows? Allowing criminals to run free, the dealer/pimp/gangster are the "role models" that kids aspire to be. If they are never seen again, they cannot be emulated

You might like your culture, but the right way to evangelize it isn't to prohibit everyone else's. As a member of younger community I'm tired of my community being brutalized, but I'm especially tired of my black community members being senselessly murdered by our police state.

Poor =/= criminal. Criminals are from all demographics, but once the choose a life of crime, they trend to lower cost areas (poorer areas) due to their bad own decisions. I think it's wrong to allow them to corrupt poor areas. Their activities tempt those with fewer options.

I get that your anxious to paint all black people as criminals to justify the obscene rate of incarceration that we use on that population, but have you considered that the reason might actually be sfpd is just racist? doj and their own employees say sohttps://www.google.com/amp/s/missionlocal.org/2020/12/former-bias-trainer-says-reinforced-narratives-about-black-people-as-criminals-by-nature-thrived-in-san-francisco-police-culture/ …

I agree with our da on his
@ChasingPodcast , wealth, class color or job should not effect the course of justice, and yet in our countries system of mass incarceration is decides it. Our mass incarceration system is criminally overcrowded and unjust.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
