      All prisons contain 50% black because they commit all the crimes and it's not our fault that the jails shake out that way. Forget about drugs and just look at violent crimes and you'll see the truth but you'll ignore it because you have the liberal veil over your eyes.

      See the people, please. In SF, 75% of crime is by addicts or mentally ill. Poverty, exploitation, no medical or social care affect non-affluent communities most. We need to stop writing people off as footnotes. There is a story behind each prisoner. We need to see all the people.

      First of all, we need to protect their potential victims. Then, we can deal with the criminals. Public safety is the foundation of civilization. W/out it, no society. Of course, @chesaboudin loves criminals more than their victims. That is why we will throw him out of office.

      Despite alarmist lies spread on Twitter, elected DA Boudin continues to work for ALL victims, plus getting police to stop harming non-white citizens -also a public safety issue. Reform DAs do more than their hard-on-crime counterparts, not less. Reform=safety. #StandWithChesa

      The facts don’t support your argument.

      Its actually the opposite, there is no scientific basis for suggesting that what you want will make us any safer, and lots of evidence that it will make our society less safe. The facts, actually invalidate your argument but you knew that. #StandWithChesahttps://twitter.com/equalityAlec/status/1394697951868604416 …

      There is a virtual scientific consensus that increasing incarceration has nothing to do with safety. When you make comments like this, you only get more resources for cops, and more violence in poor communities and communities of color. I hope you'll learn more.

      Well its quite extensive, here is a recent piece. #StandWithChesa Because hes making our city safer.https://twitter.com/samswey/status/1419664134191284227 …

      I analyzed data on fatal and non-fatal police shootings in America’s largest cities. Cities that reduced arrests for low level offenses reduced police shootings - and did not see crime increase relative to other cities. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/police-arresting-fewer-people-for-minor-offenses-can-help-reduce-police-shootings/ …

      Or this piece of sociology, unlike the data and evidence free advocacy for tough on crime policies, the evidence and scientific research backing reform is prevalent and forthcoming. #StandWithChesa because hes making our city safer.https://twitter.com/nberpubs/status/1428038990456709127 …

      So why is it not working in SF? Chesa let the criminals out / let them go. The police backed off. Crime went up. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️
