Thank you to all the local news reporters who are still holding onto journalistic integrity and doing stories like this one.
Yeah, this was first-rate journalism. Made me nostalgic.
nbcLYING 24/7
LMMFAO! this 1 time
Give me a break. They should have been warning people about this guys background and track record before he got in.This was no big surprise.I live on the east coast and I knew about where this was going. Never mind all the local SF people who knew. This guy is one of many DA's through out the country who are destroying major cities. Journalistic integrity is dead in this country.
Vote Democrat!! All the safest cities are Democrat!! Vote Democrat for safety like SF and Portland
when a DA starts to blame victims and charge victims for fighting back there is a big fking problem. Recall!!!!!
The problem is nationwide. Feds arrested a parent because he dared complain to a school board about them covering up a brutal rape of his daughter, in the name of being "woke". He was literally arrested for not agreeing with his daughter being raped. They can call it "disturbing the peace", it's bull, if a parent had yelled and screamed that "not enough is being done to start LGBTQ only owned businesses", the politicians there would have screamed with approval and not made any fuss about "disturbing the peace". He was arrested for daring to assert his right as a parent to protect his child, a right that the school board angrily disputes.
@SleepyGirl What are you even talking about. Juvenile Court judge Pamela Brooks on Monday found the "boy in a skirt" - whose name has not been released as he is under 18 - guilty of forcible sodomy and forcible fellatio in relation to the assault on a teenage girl at Stone Bridge High School in May. He will be back in court for sentencing in November.
Don't be a rape apologist, like the Lowden County school board. Not a good look.
@SleepyGirl; OK, how do we know if a person is lying about being "trans". Do you have some magic pix-dust that you can sprinkle over a person to tell if they are lying? Wonder Woman had her "lasso of truth", do you think she would share it with us? Well SleepyGirl, maybe you need to go back to sleep and dream of Unicorns and Bubble Gum.
Not true at all
The DA is a communist/Socialist That is what a really Progressive is. Progressives lie about who they really are and use a nice word to cover up the evil that they are. The DA is doing this deliberately to create chaos and trauma to gain total control over our lives. And our media is helping them.
He said "hold those in power accountable". What is he talking about? His job is to punish criminals and keep the community safe. He sounds more like an activist than a DA.
He said "hold those in power accountable". What is he talking about? He is the guy who is in power.
Just progressive buzz words.
The professor was saying the same. It's not their fault for committing a crime. They were forced to by circumstance.
Edit: spelling
@@disf5178 thanks I got stuck
Terrible activist. His parents would be disappointed all around. More like a sell out.
I have a great deal of respect for these two individuals. San Francisco was such a beautiful city and the DA played his part in destroying it.
The mayor, the judges AND the DA must go.
They all have D next to their name on the ballot. They are guaranteed reelection/appointment.
Stfu @@MA_KA_PA_TIE! There are corrupt politicians on both sides and you're a brainwashed sheep if you believe otherwise.

Chesa and London should get there recall.
Elections in CA are done by mail now. Election fraud is rampant.
Had a gun pulled on me, the man was arrested, police found a gun on him. He's running the streets within the same month, and robbed the same store I was at again after being released. You literally have to die for the SF DA to do anything.
He's doing exactly what he was installed to do. Work to undermine and eventually destroy an institution. He's a revolutionary, a socialist. The amount of damage this guy is going to do will be devastating. We gotta disaster on our hands
@Vince James no votes are counted in california. When CNN calls the election. Something aint right
Stop voting democrat ..... wake up !
What is the incident report number Joseph? We'd like to follow up on that.
@@freedomstar3814 I'd look at those statistics if I were you! More red states with just as much crime and they get more federal taxes for the police departments. The poorest states are the red ones and that's an undeniable fact 😂
"We will hold those in power accountable"
He, a person in power, won't sit down for a simple interview to be held accountable.
How the hell do you only have 11 likes?
@@migueldecarvalho8012 Haha thank you. I never seem to get the high numbers! Glad someone agrees.
It's segments like this that show what the media should be. It's a segment that shows statements and portrays facts. Great job!
100% The DA needs to go. Our family moved out of the city to raise our daughter because of how dangerous it was. When you're walking down the street with a 6 month old, and there's a homeless guy swinging a pipe around like a lunatic, there is something very wrong.
Where did you move to was ulit better than before
@@shrekgamer4199 Newport Beach. We like it but plan on moving back to Marin since we still prefer it back up north. The city is out of the question for us though.
Where I life (Los Angeles area) if you said this out loud to most people, they would just say "how DARE you". California is wrecked.
so many people have left the city and I wonder how many of them voted for this situation...
Yes !!! People try to ignore it and it’s so scary.
The DA has to be removed. He is an ally of criminals, instead of citizen.
@@johnnykwon8173 this is such an incredibly sad, pathetic and defeatist attitude. There is literally zero excuse for criminal behavior. And there is zero excuse for not prosecuting criminal behavior. This failed experiment will not work.
@@johnnykwon8173 This why we need prosecution to find out who can be pardoned who should be in jail.
@@johnnykwon8173 you are deluded. There are evil people in the world, and Chesa Boudin is one of them.
@@johnnykwon8173 there are definitely people who wake up and say to themselves "you know, I'm going to go out today and do whatever I damn well please just because I can"
Well he does come from a family of criminals so the sympathy is there.
When criminals know they don’t go to jail, they increase their criminal activities….
Has everyone just gone stupid?
Yup, it's the radical ideologies of "restorative justice" instead of actual justice!
@@geraldpolzinjr9670 it’s crazy Gerald, for a moment I thought I was getting smarter and smarter, but sadly after some thorough evaluation, I realized I’m still just average, but everyone else has been chugging the stupid cool aid…. So sad, I thought I was on the way to genius, instead I’m surrounded by morons, but wait, is that the same as kind of being a genius?
too reasonable. no one will believe you. there's some academic that will overrule your reasonable conclusions with some justified bullshit.
So Chesa Boudin believes that “criminals are victims.”
I’d like to suggest another very controversial way of looking at it:
“Victims are victims!!”
revolutionary thinking
Crime is up in SF because there no consequences…the DA must go!
Crimes going up everywhere. Its a country problem, not just city
@@norml.hugh-mann nope not everywhere
@@norml.hugh-mann It's not nation wide. You don't see this problem in cities with REAL prosecutors! Only in 'woke' cities like San Francisco.
@@norml.hugh-mann yes, San Francisco and Portland are the biggest examples, but crime has gone up like crazy in California since decriminalized a lot of offenses in 2014
UNLESS you are on the WRONG side of the political spectrum!! If ever arrested in SF just say you are an agent of ANTIFA or BLM, OR that you are a COMMUNIST SHOPLIFTER and they'll let you go.
I live in SF all my life and no longer feel safe walking in my neighborhood. It is sad that such a beautiful city is now a living hell for so many residents. Burglaries and assaults have become more violent and frequent. Robbing department stores in broad day light and in front of securities made it impossible for many business to continue operating in the city. Making people accountable should start with the DA.
San Francisco has gone the deep end and Chesa is but a symptom. San Franciscans need to stop being so partisan, stop falling for one ideology, and stop believing virtue signaling. This all would have been prevented if they didn't put one party, one race, on a pedestal while ignoring everything else.
Accountability begins with the man in the mirror. He was elected and he's delivering on the policies he espoused
@@mofogie True but corruption is prevalent in all parties today. We need to outlaw propaganda from our media and most of it today seems to be propaganda driven.
I think it's time We The People demand that those at the top face the same penalties as the rest of us for crimes committed. Get money out of politics so that they don't only listen to those giving the money.
@@The_Ballo This is proof for the dense that politics matter in their daily lives. People need to educate themselves and get involved but they would rather let someone else do it and then complain when things go bad. Another factor in all this is the media and the easy lies by politicians. Both should be held accountable for misleading the people.
Illegals don't want civilized towns
I don't understand why anyone would live in a place where criminals are treated more fairly than law abiding citizens. He should be charged for inciting all this violence and crime.
Thank you for reporting the truth that no other channels are reporting. My heart goes out to the two brave prosecutors for speaking up, lots of courage. Still can't understand why Chesa values defendant's rights/lives more than the victim's rights/lives when probably 99% of the population are law-abiding citizens, yet he refused to serve and protect the 99% of his constituents. Just beyond my comprehension.....
people have suggested that we look into his background.
We need to recall SF District Attorney, Chesa Boudin. SF is now a disaster on his watch.
Just say “is a disaster”, Jack London.
These two lawyers should run for DA!
I agree but not hire these 2 people back. I born and raised in Frisco and everyone knows these 2 DAs lock up innocent people weekly
@@ElonMuckX they are as bad. Either he doesn't arrest people or they lock up innocent people. Either way we lose here
San Francisco become criminal friendly city since Chesa Boudin in office, asked him why SF getting worse when on his watch, he maybe blame on climate change, LOL !!!!
I was almost stabbed on Bart.. I had a knife on me, but I was more afraid of being arrested for pulling my knife, then to actually defend myself against the crackhead who had a screw driver & mallet smashing into stolen meds and freaking people out on the train. I'm a live-in caregiver, and my clients are terrified of going outside. This is the worst city i've ever lived in.
Sorry to hear that. I'm in my 50s in Missouri. SF always seemed so interesting and I always wanted to visit especially Alcatraz, but know now I'll never go because of the crime.
My Company refuses to do business in the SF bay area. To many stolen tools to much broken glass & the police are a walking joke. I really feel for your clients.
But it’s a progressives dream.
You haven't been to Anchorage yet.
I'm so sorry
It really sucks that one of the most beautiful areas in the whole country is so badly managed. Hopefully the citizens of the city eventually realize that it doesn't have to be this way.
They only realize it when they're family members and friends end up dead as a result. Liberals are getting what they voted for and shouldn't be complaining about it now.
Jenkins and Dovain - thank you for your courage to stand up and voice your professional opinion. Chesa has proven himself incapable.
Just to remind you, 5 Walgreens stores have had to close their doors because of shoplifting crimes that boudin let happen
Amazon is better tbh. Walgreens overpriced bs.good riddance cvs is better
Target also closes all stores by 6pm for the same reason lol
He's doing exactly what he was installed to do. Work to undermine and eventually destroy an institution. He's a revolutionary, a socialist. The amount of damage this guy is going to do will be devastating. We gotta disaster on our hands
They had already planned on closing them. Long before any of this. Too bad you don't do any actual research but just go along with your alt-right brainwashing. Just repeat what you hear like a good sheep.
@@manifest_bot3162 nobody asked what drugstore you prefer. This isn't Yelp. It's about resources vanishing due to poor policy. I'm sure you can grasp the concept if you try.
"...And hold those in power accountable." - Chesa Boudin, one of those in power. ;p
what I don't understand is we don't need a government to redistribute wealth via crime. anarchy achieves that just fine.
Hey San Francisco: Electing a defense attorney for district attorney...that's the same as if a warden retires at a state prison you replace him or her with an inmate.
The DA has a conflict of interest. He is an activist and is trying to make up for the action of his parents who were criminals who spent a lot of time in prison for their actions. He thinks it was unfair.
They were terrorists and murderers. He's from that tribe of people that is ALWAYS behind perverse and violent movements.
Ppl vote in snakes then wonders why they get bit . Typical California
@@freddelano3940 yes and I live right down the street where his parents were involved in robbing and killing during the brinks robbery
Conflict of interest
How bad does crime have to get in SF before voters understand that this "criminals are victims" approach to law enforcement is nothing short of insanity. It's bad enough that residents have to deal with rampant mental illness on the streets. Now there is an entire city government full of mentally I'll people. They are turning what was once one of the most prosperous cities in America into the next Detroit.
Have fun, I’m leaving this state. Thinking the lunatics of this state will vote anyway different is crazy itself. They will just put a different libtard in charge
There are no votes counted in california. When CNN calls the election. Something isnt right
@@johnnykwon8173 thats idiocy
@@johnnykwon8173 i dont reply to strawman questions.
Thats textbook strawmanning.
Most criminals are also victims. We should take that into account when sentencing non-violent criminals and low-level offenses.
Boudin at this point is criminally negligent, and needs to be held accountable with more than just a recall.
"Pixie dust and unicorn tears will make SF a perfect place" SF voters.
There is something categorically wrong with prosecutors and DA’s refusing to do their jobs. SF the world is watching do something about this.
Thank you so much for taking a stand against this DA.
The current DA (Boudin) in San Francisco should have NEVER been elected. His record is way too radical and we are seeing the results of his actions as I write this statement.
I doubt you even live in SF. 🤖
@@ylimeasil who would wanna live their?
if you look at the voting results, he was never voted in. it's the sf voting structure of giving votes to the second and third choice on the ballot after a candidate drops off that got him elected.
Good for you guys, thank you for fighting the moral fight!!!
God bless these two people! They are taking action on something that they see as wrong. Setting an example for the rest of us.
Chesa Boudin works for the criminals. He's not doing the job he was suppose to do which is to prosecute criminals. He's needs to be RECALL.
ok china boy
He's doing exactly what he was installed to do. Work to undermine and eventually destroy an institution. He's a revolutionary, a socialist. The amount of damage this guy is going to do will be devastating. We gotta disaster on our hands.
You are incorrect, sir. He is doing EXACTLY what he was elected to do. Turn a once great city into a crime-ridden, communist hell hole. Isn't that what the nut jobs out there want?
I like how they don't even give the reason why he fired the prosecutors, because they were corrupt and he ran on police reform. Prosecutors are funded by police unions. This is a smear attack pure and simple.
@@servicedog2325 wasn't it already a shithole during the last administration though
If he won't or can't defend himself that tells you a lot about what he thinks if his own policies.
Yeah they all go silent. These people must be held accountable to the communities they WORK FOR. Too many activists playing their own agendas instead of doing their jobs. This is Critical Race Theory too, same issue, nobody will answer up for it and they lie and deceive while running mental reform programs on students.
When you have prosecutors like Chesa Boudin, Kim Fox and others of their persuasion, you have to look at their key source of financial support.
The driving source of that financial support is not that hard to find, and he is powerful enough and wealthy enough to place as many Chesa Boudin's into key liberal cities as he wishes.
Could u mean Soros?
It's like the orange man said, "everything woke turns to shit". Who could have seen this coming?
This stinks. Kudos to these prosecutors who have guts enough to stand up for the community. We've had similar problems in SJ as well. The garbage people have to continuously put up with about these criminals is preposterous. It's like a revolving door and no one is held accountable while the regular everyday residents have to suffer yet another theft/assault or worse. Godspeed San Francisco.
SJ used to be great back in the 80s early 90s. But people elected the same progressive politicans that have ruined it.

@Lost Key they'll supposedly vote for him again next year, too, which is when his term is up, i think.
CA holds entirely too much power, it should be split into two states.
I am astounded that he became district attorney in the first place. For anyone interested, look at his biography. You will be gobsmacked!
Didn’t know who was until I saw your comment. I looked at his biography but didn’t get past who is adoptive father was: Bill Ayers. That right there is enough not to vote for him
Okay, just read some more about his time in office. He’s absolutely terrible.

SF is a filthy disaster and will eventually be totally destroyed
Recall this 🤡
Thanks to Chesa Boudin, my houses in Austin have skyrocketed since last year. If you vote him out and make SF safe again, the values of my houses gonna drop
They all have to go. Thank you for standing up for the truth. Let's do it!!
Irony: only the DA earns enough to to afford to live in the city. The line prosecutors have long commutes, just like the teachers.
"Hold those in power accountable" except for me.
- Chesa Boudin.
Yeah, that was weird. He set it up as if those in power are committing these crimes. Granted they're committing crimes, but I don't think they are stabbing people on the subway.
Should also replace the mayor,just saying 🇬🇧
Go and replace your Queen

Like a convertible baby...from the top down....bring it all down!!
@@SuperJulioes kind of a silly comment. The system provides for replacing a mayor.

Fired? He should be arrested & held accountable.
Poor San Francisco. Sounds like the last thing they need is to lose good prosecutors. Yet their feelings are understandible.
I doubt it. If they were they would have outed all the cocaine snorting DAs in the office. They're playing a game.
in places like SF, the only thing that keeps people in public service is principle and passion. otherwise with a few years of experience a prosecutor can go into a private law firm and make folds more money. the fact that these two experienced prosecutors left, after all their colleagues had already done so (or were fired for not being in line with Chess), meant they tried to change things from within and then finally decided it was impossible.
Yes, the useless DA needs to go. He's creating an unsafe environment for the tax paying citizens of SF. Remove him and arrest him for his unsafe policies. A careless DA jepordizing the lives of San Franciscan's. Brooke and Don, glad you spoke out against your boss.
Thank you for this story!!!!!
Boudin feels like he’s a part of the syndicate or on their payroll. I’ve seen too many movies but that’s what it feels like
I love how Cynthia Nixon in NY actor from Sex in the City, Miranda said these criminals only steal for necessity. Lol. Yeah right. She should leave the door to her mansion wide open so these “criminals” that only steal for necessity can steal her stuff. She’ll be singing a different tune really quick.
Her and Ocasio.
Most of these pompous celebs live a fantasy world and have no clue what reality is.
A lot of what is wrong with American voting, is our cultural worship of entertainers. Too many think "because this person is an A-list actor, they therefore are an expert on anything", and think they have to tune in to the twitter of celebrities to know how to think. They don't understand that these celebrities seldom know anything at all, live in bubbles, and become drunk on the power they have with social media. Actual groups trying to enforce leftist goals gladly use them, knowing the power the celebrities have, so the celebrities get endless accolades, commendations, awards and certificates for how "brave" and "ground breaking" they are.
@@mikeg3439 too true. I don’t know why but I get so upset (that I have to laugh) when I see in these very rich areas (where the entitled 1% live) and they have these “BLM” sign on their lawn.

Also telling white rich kids they have “white privilege” & kinder to those that aren’t does the opposite. 🤣😂 They see it as they were born into royalty while everyone else not white are commoners/servants & just f***d.

Progressivism is an absolute disaster that is a path to self enslavement and authoritative rule. I’ve lived through it, trust me when I say it ain’t worth it.
It's hard to put your careers at risk. But these two attorneys not only are people of character, but both are living up to their roles as officers of the court.

" Prosecuting the makers of untraceable guns "
How do you find the maker of a untraceable gun ?
To give a serious answer, you investigate/follow their sales on places like the dark web, on facebook, craigslist, and 3d gun printing forums. You attend events where people show off and shoot untraced weapons. All those people won't be criminals but some have been. Additionally, many people brag about their sales, post their services for 3d printing weapons online, and on facebook. Additionally, when you catch someone that's committed a crime and is in possession of such a gun you simply ask them where they got it. When people fact prison time they will often cooperate for a the goodwill at sentencing that comes with saying "I cooperated." And then like anything criminal, you follow the trail were it leads. Sometimes a single individual. Sometimes organized crime.
@@derred723 ... Those 3D printed guns are not illegal. California and New Jersey require you obtain a serial number for them but they are completely legal. If it was used in the commission of a crime ... it is still not the manufacturers fault. Why do you anti gun types always assume the weapon has a mind of it's own ?

@@sarahlee6522 Hey Sarah, Gov Newsom & Sac Mayor is trying to get mentally ill back in hospitals that Reagan didn't want tax payers to pay for. I say life is priceless! Any ideas how to get them back in & not self medicating & living on the sts? If so, let Newsom know. I truly don't believe they belong in prison, rather a facility for mental impairment
@@spicyirwin5835 The mentally ill should not be on the streets, where they can lash out at a pedestrian walking by. I feel tax dollars should provide a facility for them to stay at and get the help and medication they need. One of my biggest problems with Dems, and why I left the party is because they aren't tough enough on criminals and that's why we are seeing Walgreen's having to close and stores like Nordstrom being ransacked. Criminals know that it's a revolving door and they will be let out shortly to do another crime. I would like them to feel the punishment and sit in jail for awhile so that they might think twice about committing another crime. I no longer recognize the party I once belonged to for many years. #walkaway
@@spicyirwin5835 You are talking about Deinstitutionalisation. The movement began in 1961 with the book Asylums: Essays on the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates by Erving Goffman. Goffman with two other colleges in 1970 began American Association for the Abolition of Involuntary Mental Hospitalisation with it's purpose being to abolish all involuntary psychiatric intervention, particularly involuntary commitment, against individuals. This led to a push by politicians across the nation to get rid of the mental health institutions leaving little foundation for the serious mentally ill to fall back on. By 1980 the Mental Health Systems Act was signed into law by President Carter but by 1981 a Democratic Congress pushed to repeal portions of the law as Congress felt state provisions were sufficient. In 1981, Reagan signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act that the Democratic Congress had put together and voted on. It wasn't nor had it ever been drafted by President Reagan. It was entirely of Congresses making.
If you want to start pointing fingers then maybe you start by informing yourself of the two decades previous to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. The issues are complex and nuances. What matters is that this movement initiated by Goffman received zero push back from other members in the community. Like all things when it is in a bubble with no other voices allowed to be heard things can easily become disastrous. And it has become disastrous.
We need Mental Health Institutions to treat those who are seriously mentally ill and this consensus that those who are seriously ill can be relied upon to continue their care is absurdly flawed. It has led to a serious crisis in the United States not just for the jail systems but also for the communities in the US and the mentally ill themselves.
The issue is more deserving of a scapegoat blame game of "Uhhhmmm Gow Wah! Reagan Fault!"
We have done this to ourselves and now we need to be man enough about it and say, "We need to fix it."
The truth is that there isn't a politician who wants to tackle it as there comes serious political liability to do so. It's really going to come down to the point when we as an entire populace say, "Enough."
And we are not there yet. Not even close.
Resonable progressive and thoughtful was his first problem.

Reasonable and progressive don't go hand in hand. Happy these two are finally waking up. SF has become very dangerous to visit.
imagine living in SF

"1/3 of the departments lawyers are gone." The city doesn't need prosecutors since they don't believe in prosecuting criminals any longer. The city is getting what it voted for. Democracy in action.
SF proved that democracy is not working when majority of voters are criminals.
Socialism in action. Democracy has its uses in a Republic. Socialists hide behind the term "Democracy" because they know too many people remain unbrainwashed for them to have the Socialist banner up front and center. In California, they are getting close to it, then they can stop lying about who they are and at least be honest about that: Socialists/Communists.
@@mikeg3439 Coming from communist country as immigrants, I always believed democracy the perfect system until now. I am losing hope for San Francisco because the majority of voters are just going to vote like this until the city becomes the next Oakland or Detroit. I have yet to understand the rational behind $0 shopping unless standing for the criminals. I am pretty sure that a lot of thieves are doing it as profession.
@@mikeg3439 i think this is kind of an unfair characterization is socialism. if you go to the Scandinavian countries, you don't see lawlessness. that's because they enforce the laws. they also don't just give away everything for free like these Californians are advocating for. Americans have lazy philosophy, they don't investigate the nuance. the Scandinavian way of thinking is you use housing as a carrot, if a drug abuser wants housing: they can get shelter for free, but that's living with no privacy with lots of other people around. if they want housing, they have to get a state sponsored job and stay drug free.
it's not the socialism that's touted in America. Americans mistakenly point at Scandinavian countries and lazily say, that's what they do and we should do that too. but it's not what they do, because they're not crazy.
@@trinydex I wasn't aware that I had commented about Scandinavia (for some reason YT is not letting me see the comment you replied to), but I am aware that Scandinavians are WAY more logical and practical about how they administer this sort of thing, and that Americans, it's pure crazy politics, nothing to do with what works or what makes sense.
I further wish that Americans would study closely how Scandinavians handle incarceration, because I firmly believe we could learn massively on this (but I suspect our politicians do not WANT to learn).
Wow! Good investigative reporting. San Francisco has gone “bonkers” and totally incomprehensible what is happening.
Totally agreed with her! Recall the DA!!
Impressed with the reporter here, and their organization, on presenting an actual story. Both sides of it, which is unheard of on FOX or CNN.
Please keep up the integrity.
Please VOTE when the time comes!
Once one of the greatest cities in the world
I lived in San Fran 2014 to 2016 - House broken into twice and had 3 car brake ins. It is the worse over priced place I have ever lived. Traffic is insane, having to stop at all the tolls completely screws the Traffic up starting at 5 am to 8pm , they need to eliminate the toll stopping to Help traffic.
We love good people like him for going after the truth the whole truth
Why isn't Nancy Pelosi speaking out against the D.A., after all SF is her home. Recall Chesa Boudin. Thank you for your courage to speak up Brooke and Don... you are heroes to the city of SF!
Nancy is the reason why we need term limits hand it off to somebody with young person energy
We need a new Kurt Russel movie, called escape from San Francisco.
too scary
We need a new Dirty Harry movie….
@@confusedzentradi We need the Magnum Force. It was Harry that got rid of them.
Brave souls!! More power to you guys!!
As I warned and taught several people about the severe corruption in our legal infrastrucures, our courts have been nother more than "DOG AND PONY SHOW"
The unexpected questions posed to this DA and his lying that he would respond to those question before running to the bathroom speaks volumes about this politician (yes that’s what he is) who refuses to answer tough questions when the light is on him. I’m a progressive who can’t stand weasels.
And the questions aren't even tough. "Why are you letting criminals get lighter sentences?". If he can't answer that, he should step down!
Progressives only bring chaos. They're so easily tricked into believing a politician. Always buyers remorse.
That reporter should have followed him? into the bathroom! Do what it takes to get the story! I just saw something like that take place on the news recently! Followed her into the bathroom and demanded an answer! I don't believe that they were reporters, and apparently "they" are afforded "special privilege's".
It like inviting a thief to come live with you and then you’re puzzled has to why your stuff keeps going missing.
Kudos to NBC local for running this story, and those two prosecutors deserve praise. The question is… why won’t NBC National air this story?
When I was doing ride along years ago, we had a DA (won't say which city) who was doing catch and release. That night we arrested domestic violence abuser who had a least a dozen arrests for beating his wives, girlfriends, and kids. About two years later I read that he had killed his girlfriend and her kids. I called the cop I did the ride along with that night (we stayed in contact) and he was finishing off a bottle due to his anger over that guy. He had arrested him at least three times and each time the local DA released him. I think he wanted to take out the DA. He didn't, but I completely understand his anger. DA's that don't do their jobs should be fired and never allowed back in the court system again. He was a glorified SJW who believed that certain people weren't at fault if they committed crimes. He was an idiot and finally lost his next election, over that incident and a couple of other fatal incidents.
Good luck recalling him. We saw what happened when they tried recalling Newsom.
Will candidates to replace Boudin also be on the ballot? Voters decided that although they didn't like Newsom very much, they liked the alternatives even less.
@@Thankz4sharing over a hundred choices and not one could screw up a little less?
@@silencemeviolateme6076 In an ideal democracy, every voter would make an informed and independent decision. In the real world whoever has the most persuasive propaganda to motivate their partisan tribe wins the beauty contest.
Some people are herd critters and some are pack critters. And lone wolves are lonely.
@@Thankz4sharing why was his propaganda persuasive? Over 100 opponents and they couldn't come up with anything?
With the pandemic and the increase in crime. He is not stepping up. Saying that he is handling stuff the same rate as previous SF DAs is unacceptable. That's like saying I took a class and passed with a C+, when if I put forth the effort, could have gotten an A+ and increased my GPA and made the honor role, but I was busy doing other stuff. He is not the right person for this job.
The DA and Mayor needs to go.
Something desperately need to be done. Just watched OPD quiting and now at record low numbers. As a resident of Alameda, this is unerving to say the least.
Nice job NBC! THIS is good journalism! 👏 👏
it takes a big man to admit he's wrong , and an even bigger man to do something about it.. i'm proud that we had DA's that were actually DA's , even if they aren't anymore , there once was justice.
You mean racism
@@handzupincx4206 huh?
I live in Danbury, Connecticut. But I am shocked and horrified to see what has happened to San Francisco.
great reporting nbc
Why was he elected in the first place if he worked for the Hugo Chávez administration, that is all we needed to know about him.
When Boudin was 14 months old, both of his parents were arrested and convicted of murder for their role as getaway car drivers in the Brink's robbery of 1981 in Rockland County, New York, a robbery gone wrong. This dude has a sketchy past.
San Francisco does a ranked voting system. you pick your top 3 and when your first choice is knocked out of the race, the vote goes to your second choice.
he never truly got a majority vote. it's a scam.
Keep fighting the good fight people.. stand up ALL together united against the corruption and tyranny.. cheers and God bless to these lawyers for going with their conscience..
High level of integrity from all the lawyers who quit. If they kept their head down and did bare minimum then they’d have a fancy retirement.
Why didn’t they put the links of the two other stories in their drop down information box? Like I can really hear and remember the link to websit the newscaster rattled off at rhe end of the news segment.
