Oh I see, rape, robbery and assault are down, but burglary, murder and motor vehicle theft are up. Overall "crime" is down.

Correct. Any crime that requires people to be out and about is down - that's Covid's accomplishment, not Chesa's - rape, theft... Everything else is up.

There is a national crime wave, that's thanks to covid. These meaningful reductions in violent crime are thanks to
@chesaboudin because they didnt happen in other places, like Sacramento or Oakland. Reform, brought safety in a crisis.#StandWithChesahttps://twitter.com/susieneilson/status/1378059503736778753 …Paul added,
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 -

The city isn't safer. Just compare pre-Chesa w/post-Chesa, YTD 2021 vs 2019: Homicides +15.4% Burglary +21.9% Car Theft +33.5% Arson +56.3% https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1shF9HBKAyaxjCkFMbnpdr6ORZtFnWds-HW0AXGkDdd0/edit?usp=sharing … Shootings are up 105.2% YTD 2021 vs 2020.

All of those increases were worse in places with pro incarceration DA's. Reform has brought relative safety to our peers, and a less violent city. Covid has brought a more desperate and dangerous society nationwide, with a crippled court system nationwide.

Oh I'd love to see comparative crime stats for the top cities correlating them with the political orientation of their DAs, Paul.

Unfortunately, this is quite specific to one particular subject and not the comprehensive comparison we are looking for. Re this study, it stands to reason police shootings would go down with fewer public/police interactions.

"purpose of drug laws is to discourage people from engaging in risky activity... I now explain why using force against people who wish to use intoxicants inevitably harms them, harms the general public, and harms the legal system.

Ffs. We've had this argument before. The Swiss allowed medical assisted treatment for users. But they also aggressively prosecuted the black market. We choose to do neither. And simply allowing the free flow of opiates doesn't make anyone safer - go look at India.
