John — check out this statistic about the San Francisco Police Department:
The San Francisco Police Department only solves 3% of theft cases.
There’s a clear message here that recall campaigners don’t want you to know:
Police are not effective at stopping crime. They need to be held accountable and District Attorney Chesa Boudin is working overtime to make sure it happens.
The facts don’t lie. Based on their own reporting, the San Francisco police ignore or fail to solve nearly every case of theft, despite an all-time high budget of $692 million from 2019-2020.
Meanwhile recall organizers are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to spread lies about crime in San Francisco — blaming the District Attorney for the failures of the police — and stop the boldest official seeking to hold police accountable for their behavior: Chesa Boudin.
Chesa is more committed than ever to police accountability. Since his election in 2019 he has implemented a policy to review all body camera footage for certain charges to prevent cases of police brutality and injustice. And just this week Chesa’s office took over investigations in cases where police officers have caused harm, preventing a potentially deadly conflict of interest and ensuring more justice is served.
It will take all of us chipping in what we can to stop police groups and right-wing billionaires from buying unchecked power.
Let’s do this,
