Same question needs to be asked in Seattle too.
Interesting: the SF police are rebelling. By reporting prior incidents as well, they're encouraging people to ask "Why isn't this guy in jail?" Which is indeed a good question.https://twitter.com/SFPDTenderloin/status/1338192301856706561 …

What's more remarkable is that any sane person still visits or lives/works in SF.

Not sure jail is the solution to what looks like a mental health problem. The person appears to need treatment.

What we do with the mentally ill (prison, if we don't kill them in the process) is indeed a sin, but "step one is to keep violent criminals away from the rest of us" is a persuasive message.

Severe economic inequality plus lack of mental health services.

more and more I realize SF problems are not “SF problems”, but are symptoms of national policy failure on drugs, mental health, homelessness, crime reform, etc

Many people making sweeping generalizations conflating mental health and crime (leave alone the fact that they have zero facts about this particular case): is that fair?

It should encourage people to ask "why is he still commiting crimes?". That's what I ask. Police intervention is failing him and the TL. There no context to know if it's something the police can't do, won't do, or someone else should do to create a permanent fix.

Nobody outside of SF has difficulty answering this. He's committing crimes because he knows he won't be prosecuted. Why is this so hard for your city?
