The SFPD may choose not to enforce laws, but I don't think anyone outside of SFPD directed that, it's just organized nonfeasance as leadership political protest.
Nope, this is fake news. You should learn more about your DA Chesa Boudin. He rarely brings cases to trial, fired a bunch of prosecutors and 30 others have left, and removed cash bail which puts repeat offenders right back on the street after arrest.
It's just a thought experiment and something to consider.
The political and social climate in SF has led to a situation where the number of officers on the street can shrink even if the budget stays flat or grows.
An 800K San Franciscans have been clammering for community policing for decades but it never happens. Because PDs don’t want that.
This has been the state forever: http://sfappeal.com/2012/04/understaffed-sfpd-is-nonetheless...
