[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A big issue is SFPD. They stopped arresting for petty crime even before Chesa was elected. This is a theme throughout many cities in the US - the police work slowdown has been real, they stop arresting (except when there’s a gun, a body, or a protest), and that ends up leading to civilians feeling helpless.

A prediction: nothing will change with Chesa gone. SFPD is still pissed off at the Mayor, the council, and the citizens who ask for respect of their rights. How do you reign in a rogue police force? [/quote]
This is a good point. SFPD is a department that is famously corrupt and out of control and everyone knows it. They need full time DOJ oversight. [/quote]

Yes.  The downward slide is all the fault of the police.  That excuse played itself out since the summer of 2020 and guess what happened?  Crime has skyrocketed in all major cities.   DC looks like a dump in multi places - but heck - we have graffiti in the middle of a major commuting street and carjackings from the under 16 age group.

Priorities shifted and the result is crime and looking the other way in the name of equity:  [/quote]
The under 16 carjacking set is still roaming the streets not because of MPD, but because of Karl Racine’s policies and philosophy on juvenile justice. Give them a hug and make them promise to do better, and back home they go. [/quote]
