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.

Our criminally unjust mass incarceration system does not reduce drug usage, availability, addiction. In fact evidence from our economists and doctors shows that prohibition increases the ills associated with drug usage. Our national drug epidemic is beyond local decisions.

Our systems ineffectiveness at basic requirements of justice like these is why the whole system needs fundamental restructuring. We obviously need a effective response, and our mass incarceration system is obviously not one.

Versus reinventing the wheel, if you could pick one country where we fully adopt every single criminal practice, which would it be? How would they handle: 1. Fentanyl dealing illegal hondos 2. 15 X car theft in 12 months 3. CVS brazen shoplifting 4. Cyclist running red lights

Despite using incarceration in a much more limited fashion europe and countries worldwide have recognized the existential threats posed by pandemic raging in mass incarceration system, and released prisoners, who they might have otherwise held.https://www.courthousenews.com/europe-released-128000-prisoners-to-prevent-virus-outbreaks/ …

Of those I think 2,3 need attention from whatever our criminal justice system is, but I would hope for a less expensive and more creative solution than incarceration for both of them. 1,4 should get no response in my view from our criminal justice system.
