A month after San Francisco voters ousted their progressive district attorney, Chesa Boudin, the city has a new top cop.
The changes at the district attorney’s office are the latest in a wave of recall efforts that have hit San Francisco in recent months. In March, Breed appointed three parents to the San Francisco school board following an ouster — a decision that has already had big consequences. I think we’ve got to begin to address drug crimes in different ways. No longer can we accept open-air drug markets as simply being a part of big-city life and life in San Francisco. We need to have accountability for those who choose to continuously sell extremely dangerous and deadly drugs like fentanyl.
A: Yes, I do want to have the discretion that if we believe that a case is appropriate for charging a certain way that we do have the ability to do what we think is fair and is just. That doesn’t mean that we won’t be extremely thoughtful about when we exercise our discretion to go a certain way. But we have to make sure that we are being fair and that we have accountability, and that requires discretion in every single case.
