Chesa Boudin, the previous DA, was ousted in large part due to his prosecuting rogue police officers. His progressive policies and interest in restorative justice made him an extra easy target. The issues of crime and homelessness in San Francisco predate Boudin, and while current DA has a much more cozy relationship with the police (she disbanded the group investigating/prosecuting police misconduct) the crime trajectory hasn't changed.

The DA should focus on prosecuting the criminals, not the police. I don't think the police are the ones ruining SF at the moment.

But what if the real criminals are the cops…

The cops stabbed him while yelling "This is MAGA country!"

And what happens when the cops are the criminals?

Some criminals happen to be police officers. And they have a lot more power to harm people than the average street criminal. So I disagree. Criminality from police officers also broadly undermines faith in the rule of law. The entire summer of BLM protests can be viewed as an expression of that.

From what I have read, what's happening in SF is reflective of what's happening right across US. Encampments of drug addicted homeless people with authorities at a loss of what to do. From what I understand, this isn't just a SF problem but a nationwide epidemic of drug dependency. But as a non SF resident, of course defer to local knowledge

Chesa prosecuted more people than the previous DA nobody was offended by. The police just didn't like him so they stopped enforcing all the laws.

He did offend the Asian community with insensitive comments on attacks on them, which might've been enough for a recall.

he failed and refused to prosecute to catastrophic levels, comparing him to the previous who was also leaning in this direction is no consolation. his racist insensitive comments are only the cherry on top.

Can one of the two of you provide numbers? This would clear things up immensely.

Previous DA resigned and ran away because he was about to get ousted too.
