    Black folks make up about 5% of San Francisco's general population, yet 50% of its jail population. In SF, the incarceration rate for black people is higher than any other major American city.https://twitter.com/chesaboudin/status/1172034132437655553 …

    Some don't care about ending mass incarceration. Others think we've done enough. I'll break down why the're wrong: Less than 5% of SF is black but approx. 50% of the jail is black; SF's incarceration rate for African Americans is way higher than any other major American city. pic.twitter.com/Rgh2e9aCpg

        Always interesting how coastal folks point the finger at the middle of the country for being so racist while harboring worse racial/ethnic disparities right in their own back yards

        There’s a lot more to this. San Francisco is where the money is. No matter the profession, legal or not. Talk to a homicide detective or a narc detective, one that will tell you the truth, and it’s eye-opening. But I’m from here. Nothing new to me.

        @ninaturner and @BernieSanders are the first advocate and Presidential candidate in my lifetime to openly call to task and fight against the 'prison industrial complex' on a public platform. The truth is best spoken plainly and honestly.

        It would be interesting to see what % of those incarcerated were once property owners in SF. Incarceration as a means to transfer property
