SFPD ACTUALLY MAKING ARRESTS AGAIN FOR LOW-LEVEL STREET CRIME

By Bob Walsh

 

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.
