"We made an intentional decision to prioritize crimes involving violence, injury to human beings and use of weapons."

This prioritization makes sense.https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/data-shows-chesa-boudin-prosecutes-fewer-shoplifters-than-predecessor/ …

He’s obviously not all to blame, but drug overdose deaths have a touch of violence to them. What precisely has he done to prioritize violent crimes and weapons? Not sayin he’s dishonest just curious

Oh, I got you covered on that one. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32143185/ If someone's primary dealer is unreachable for even a day, overdose risk increases, because they must contend with a less familiar market elsewhere1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
