Ultimately, the case against @chesaboudin rests on two assumptions: that crime in the city has exploded and that Boudin isn’t charging people at the rate his predecessors did.
And neither of those assumptions is true, @radleybalko writes:https://wapo.st/3iFGCbv
Chesas enlightened management of our criminally unjust mass incarceration system made us comparably safer, Especially when compared with surrounding cities, or when the epidemiological consequences are properly weighed.https://twitter.com/susieneilson/status/1378059503736778753?s=20 …

That's some strange logic you are using there if you don't see a direct link to a 520% jump in Burglaries and Motor Vehicle Theft and Chesa's policies. Homicides, Robberies , Rapes, Assaults were all down in SF because the streets were a ghost-town for most of the year.

Sacramento also appears to have a youth gang problem, that got worse during pandemic, similar to Oakland so it's not an apples to apples comparison to SF at all. I don't agree with mass incarceration either, but I also don't think that implies a DA should prosecute almost nothing
