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

LOL, Countering an opinion piece with another opinion piece. Some crime (burglaries, robberies, car theft) have absolutely exploded. Some (murder, rape), because everyone was under lockdown fell..now we get to look forward to more burglaries and murder. Thanks Chesa..pffft.

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 …

Susie NeilsonVerified account @susieneilsonReplying to @susieneilson @socallegaleagl1 @meganrcassidyThe broader point is D.A. policies don't appear to have the same effect on crime rates as bigger events like the pandemic and recession. See our chart on San Francisco vs. Sacramento - in Sac, with a more traditional D.A., assaults increased and murder rates increased more pic.twitter.com/U1yAj1Wbsg1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

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

No one on the streets in 2020 in SF, so criminals were robbing people's garages, houses, cars and mass shoplifting & Chesa didn't charge any. If that's the future you had in mind under Chesa's "enlightened" vision, that is very different idea of community. No, thanks.

I'm thankful Chesa made his decisions in lign with the guidance of our epidemiologists and public health officials nationwide. Embracing this needed public health guidance in this moment of pandemic, was essential and required courage.https://sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/justice-driven-data/an-epidemic-inside-a-pandemic/ …
