Poverty, not drug use is the crime that our fellow constituents are so anxious to see brutalization in response to.
However, prohibition not the drugs themselves makes this market violent and dangerous.

Again Paul you show how stupid and naive you are. Poverty is not the cause. Addiction is...drug dealers are killing people and you text about poverty. Addiction keeps people from maintaining jobs and housing. I've dealt with it addicts for decades.

Sorry his theories are not based in fact and many addiction researchers have proved his theories as incorrect. Nice man and helps but his soft approach is harmful to many in Vancouver

As
@equalityAlec emphasizes, it is mass incarceration that has no justification, especially in pursuit of our failed counterproductive drug war.#DefundThePolice and fund effective medical solutions like that doctor shares.https://twitter.com/ChasingPodcast/status/1291174243829460992 …Paul added,

Very untrue. There is thousands of cases where someone arrested and jailed found court mandated counseling and rehab has helped them get free of drugs. And while in jail their crimes stopped. Catch and release helps no one.

Actually our scientists, specifically our epidemiologists emphasize that mass incarceration is much more existentially dangerous for the public especially in this moment of pandemic, than releases.https://sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/justice-driven-data/an-epidemic-inside-a-pandemic/ …

Paul please stop. SF has no mass incarceration. I went to the sheriff and got the stats. There’s room at the inn. 50% capacity.
@chesaboudin bragged that he let “40% of the jail population go” during Covid. And the deaths of Asian elders have zero to do with mass incarceration.2 replies 1 retweet 11 likes -

Our
@SF_DPH has continued to reduce guidance as to the number of prisoners that it is safe to detain, Thanks to@chesaboudin & DPH our cities jail, unlike san quintin(the third largest covid outbreak in america) did not have a covid outbreak. This is the reason for the releases.pic.twitter.com/Dv98fDkN8dThis media may contain sensitive material. Learn more

There are several prisons across the country that didn't have severe outbreaks. In the mean time more people died of overdose in SF then covid, guns and cars combined in the same time frame. Ignoring drug dealers by the DA is killing people.

While not every jail and prison had a outbreak, San Quentin did, and the epicenter of this pandemic is our cruel and overcrowded #MassIncarceration systems.https://twitter.com/davidminpdx/status/1262929202459799552?s=19 …
