Brooke Jenkins, San Francisco's new DA
It is truly remarkable. The old District Attorney, Chesa
Boudin, is history. He was a hard-core liberal nutter who believed
that "criminal" was a legitimate job description. The voters handed him
his ass and a new DA (hardly a conservative but not a liberal nutter
either) actually believes that crime is, all things considered, bad.
In
the 3 months the new DA has been on the job routine traffic stops have
gone up 30%. In addition "public order" (street crazies, sleeping on
the sidewalk, etc.) stops went up 20%.
Clearly
that does not mean all is sweetness and light in SF, but just maybe
things may be headed in the right direction. Maybe.
