In 2022, police unions, right-wing orgs and big tech joined forces to recall San Francisco’s district attorney Chesa Boudin.
A year since he was replaced with someone who was "tough on crime," here are SF's crime stats:
Vehicle Theft: ⬆️ 10.5%
Homicide: ⬆️ 23%

The officer heard mocking the death of a 23-year-old woman is Daniel Auderer.
He's been involved in 29 INCIDENTS of misconduct and he's the vice president of the Seattle police union.
This rotten system isn't going to reform itself.
Everyone needs to watch this.
A Seattle cop mocks the death of a woman killed by a speeding patrol car and says she "had limited value."
Her name was Jaahnavi Kandula. She was a 23-year-old grad student raised by a single mother.
