Every DA releases criminals who go on later to commit crimes. Boudin does it less than his predecessor.

His predecessor was Gascon. Sorta sad that you use him as a comparative model

Facts aren't really your strong point here are they?

“Something something facts” In 6000+ felony charges, 25% of which the DA himself claims are drug related and therefore “a distraction”, zero have been brought to trial. Dealers kill almost 1:25 SF addicts annually (something like 700-1000 souls). Stop consenting to a massacre.

Addicts chose their fate. No one can stop someone from killing themselves. Probation doesn’t work and never ha. If you actually cared about addicts you would support decriminalization. Why don’t you?

The sad fact is you have no solution for drug overdoses that has been proven to work.

I just lost a close friend to fentanyl. So sad that the drug wars have taken another victim.

That’s really sad. The person who sold him the fentanyl should have been held accountable

Does arresting drug dealers reduce the amount of overdoses?

Opioid treatment can be 40% successful. I don't think there's evidence that its significantly more than 0% successful when people live surrounded by drug dealers. Stop consenting to a massacre.

As @HarvardHealth explains,
"Involuntary commitment for people with substance use disorder deprives them of liberty, fails to offer evidence-based treatment, and may leave patients worse off by making them vulnerable to overdose risk."https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/involuntary-treatment-sud-misguided-response-2018012413180 …

Yeah - I agree, with caveats. You have to weigh the loss of being able to choose (which addiction implies) & the lost freedoms for those around them, with the loss of personal freedoms that follow treatment incentives.

But if you care about evidence something something Portugal (and many other studies) show progressively stronger incentives work: treatment, cash for treatment, housing for treatment, jail or treatment, jail and forces abstinence.
