Where’s the evidence for this? Retail theft down 40% from 2018?
Also, look at Chesa’s case filing rate. His 2021 rate is significantly higher than 2020. I’d conjecture the recall campaign had an effect on him, even though it ultimately failed. San Franciscans made it known to him we don’t like his style and he needs to do take his DA job seriously.

Retail theft is indeed down, but burglaries and auto thefts are up. It’s a mixed picture. Not as rosy as the guy on twitter would like us to believe.
Ultimately DA’s job is to prosecute criminals. If evidence is there it should not be his call to let them go free.
