We spend more on our #PoliceState than anyone but china and we do on our military.
No other country spends this level of money violently abusing it's constituency.pic.twitter.com/I86dtMoWjy
Paul Retweeted Chesa Boudin 博徹思
As @chesaboudin discusses here, it's untrue to characterize SF as having solved #MassIncarceration, while imprisoning the greatest portion of black people per Capita in our country.https://twitter.com/chesaboudin/status/1172034132437655553?s=19 …
Paul added,
This is directly addressed by the doj piece I passed you, increases in incarceration do not effectively disincentivize crime according to our federal government and scientists. In fact they emphasize our excessive mass incarceration system acts as a criminal training ground.
Our criminally unjust mass incarceration system has never really been in response to crime, instead acting as a modern form of slavery, instituted by the wealthy to oppress the poor. Although the rich might fight it it's time to take your slaves away.pic.twitter.com/VsCdsPshBG
That doj piece *PROVES* with peer reviewed scientific papers, statistics and data, that more incarceration does not make us safer or reduce crime.
The doj *has* proven that increases in incarceration are actually associated with decreases in safety, bad increases in crime. Glad to see you recognize that the increases in petty theft have nothing to do with da, they might be associated to California wide prop 47.
