The stabbing of a 94 year-old Chinese woman today is a devastating tragedy, and we will work around the clock to support the victim and her family while also investigating this case with all our resources. We will update the public when we know more. 1/2

When will you begin to prosecute gang crime as gang crime considering the environment in the TL is heavily gang driven??

Our counterproductive drug war, and systems of prohibition cause the violence on our streets.

Senator Scott WienerVerified account @Scott_WienerThe War on Drugs is an abysmal failure. Time to take a health approach to drugs & addiction. That’s why we’ll pursue legislation to legalize safe injection sites. We’re hoping the change in Administration ends federal hostility to this life-saving work. https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/How-Biden-s-win-could-help-S-F-address-15720709.php …2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -

The war on drugs failed in SF the year after Prop 47 was introduced by
@GeorgeGascon. There have been more dead people every year since. Policymakers like@Scott_Wiener seem unable to reflect upon, own, and answer to the consequences of their actions.https://twitter.com/stuz5000/status/1404872498181672962?s=20 …SF Footgun added,
SF Footgun @stuz5000The real Bay Area unicorn.@GeorgeGascon's SF legacy-drastically cut dealing prosecution in his tenure. [2015] Prop 47: personal drug possession felony→misdemeanor. [2020-2021]@chesaboudin hasn't prosecuted one felony drug case. 720 dead in 2020#FentanyMassacre#SFFoorgun pic.twitter.com/rzkxxG4YI1Show this thread1 reply 1 retweet 3 likes -

"“Decriminalizing drugs is even more urgent now than in 1972, but we must recognize that the harm done in the interim cannot be wiped out,... Postponing decriminalization will only make matters worse, and make the problem appear even more intractable.” --Milton Friedman, 1989

Paul Retweeted John Hamasaki
Prohibition is especially doomed in a free society, where it is impossible in controlled circumstances like prisons.

But generally there is scientific consensus that mass incarceration as we're doing is a ineffective response especially our counterproductive war on drugs.https://twitter.com/equalityAlec/status/1394697951868604416?s=20 …
Paul added,
Alec KarakatsanisVerified account @equalityAlecReplying to @equalityAlec @SusanDReynolds and 6 othersThere is a virtual scientific consensus that increasing incarceration has nothing to do with safety. When you make comments like this, you only get more resources for cops, and more violence in poor communities and communities of color. I hope you'll learn more.0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks.
