• S.F. 'liberals' outraged that legal lynching of police officer halted

    From risky biz@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 11 11:52:12 2023
    'In a Feb. 8 letter to California Attorney General Rob Bonta that was obtained by BuzzFeed News, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said her office intends to dismiss the charges against former police officer Chris Samayoa "unless [the state]
    decides to step in and take over the case." Jenkins, who was appointed to the job in July following the recall of former San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin, said her office now believes that the case "was not in fact filed in good faith."

    "It appears that the case was filed for political reasons and not in the interests of justice," Jenkins wrote. "I cannot pursue this case out of political convenience. Given the conflicts that have arisen, the evidentiary problems, and the complete lack
    of good faith surrounding the filing of this matter, we cannot ethically proceed with this prosecution."

    In a statement provided to BuzzFeed News Thursday, Jenkins confirmed her decision to not move forward with the case, saying that she has "an obligation to only pursue cases that are filed in good faith and that we believe we can prosecute."

    The decision to charge Samayoa was historic. At the time, no San Francisco police officer had ever faced criminal charges for killing someone while on duty. During his time as district attorney, Boudin went on to file charges against other officers who
    shot people.

    But after he was removed from office last year in a deeply contentious recall election, the case against Samayoa languished. Jenkins, who was ultimately elected to serve out Boudin's term in November, reassigned the prosecutor who had been handling the
    Samayoa case for two years and postponed the next hearing to December. Jenkins said her administration needed to reevaluate the case ..

    The decision to dismiss the charges comes after Samayoa's attorneys filed a motion last month seeking an order for pretrial discovery after the district attorney's office provided them with recent interviews it conducted with investigators who previously
    worked on the case.

    According to the filing, an investigator for the DA's office determined in 2018 that the case against Samayoa "was not prosecutable," and his conclusion was backed up by others in the office at the time. Samayoa's attorneys accused Boudin of "egregious
    prosecutorial misconduct" for withholding this information, arguing that the former district attorney did so "to promote his political platform to punish peace officers."

    You haven't been attentive enough to Jerry's split political consciousness. So-called 'liberals' pander to the Black Lives Matter fakes that Jerry hates but he continues to pretend that it isn't the 'liberals' that are pandering to and encouraging them.

    He's exhibited this problem ever since the Democratic Party set aside a special seating section for BLM at the 2016 Democratic Convention and he refused to acknowledge that it happened.

    You haven't been attentive enough to Jerry's split political consciousness. So-called 'liberals' pander to the Black Lives Matter fakes that Jerry hates but he continues to pretend that it isn't the 'liberals' that are pandering to and
    encouraging them.

    He's exhibited this problem ever since the Democratic Party set aside a special seating section for BLM at the 2016 Democratic Convention and he refused to acknowledge that it happened.
    He even once said the GOP were the ones trying to defund cops
    Does the magnitude of law enforcement funding in the US make any sense to you?
    So you think the U.S. spends too much money on law enforcement?

    Irish Mike

    I do, and on corrections. And I cannot figure out the massive difference in per capita staffing levels between departments in cities with similar crime rates (over 100% more in some cases). And the pensions are absolutely ridiculous. Also, the
    militarization of municipal departments is out of control.

    'In a Feb. 8 letter to California Attorney General Rob Bonta that was obtained by BuzzFeed News, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said her office intends to dismiss the charges against former police officer Chris Samayoa "unless [
    the state] decides to step in and take over the case." Jenkins, who was appointed to the job in July following the recall of former San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin, said her office now believes that the case "was not in fact filed in good
    faith."

    "It appears that the case was filed for political reasons and not in the interests of justice," Jenkins wrote. "I cannot pursue this case out of political convenience. Given the conflicts that have arisen, the evidentiary problems, and the
    complete lack of good faith surrounding the filing of this matter, we cannot ethically proceed with this prosecution."

    In a statement provided to BuzzFeed News Thursday, Jenkins confirmed her decision to not move forward with the case, saying that she has "an obligation to only pursue cases that are filed in good faith and that we believe we can prosecute."

    The decision to charge Samayoa was historic. At the time, no San Francisco police officer had ever faced criminal charges for killing someone while on duty. During his time as district attorney, Boudin went on to file charges against other
    officers who shot people.

    But after he was removed from office last year in a deeply contentious recall election, the case against Samayoa languished. Jenkins, who was ultimately elected to serve out Boudin's term in November, reassigned the prosecutor who had been
    handling the Samayoa case for two years and postponed the next hearing to December. Jenkins said her administration needed to reevaluate the case ..

    The decision to dismiss the charges comes after Samayoa's attorneys filed a motion last month seeking an order for pretrial discovery after the district attorney's office provided them with recent interviews it conducted with investigators who
    previously worked on the case.

    According to the filing, an investigator for the DA's office determined in 2018 that the case against Samayoa "was not prosecutable," and his conclusion was backed up by others in the office at the time. Samayoa's attorneys accused Boudin of "
    egregious prosecutorial misconduct" for withholding this information, arguing that the former district attorney did so "to promote his political platform to punish peace officers."

    You haven't been attentive enough to Jerry's split political consciousness.

    Of course, because you can’t explain it.


    So-called 'liberals' pander to the Black Lives Matter fakes.

    See? Wrong again. ALL press and media pander to BLM. ALL of them. To ANYTHING black, because
    they don’t want to lose viewership. They don’t want BLM to boycott their show or publication. I’ve
    PROVED that.


    that Jerry hates but he continues to pretend that it isn't the 'liberals' that are pandering to and
    encouraging them.

    “Pretend?” Read what I just wrong and PROVE ME WRONG. (Or do your Runaway).


    He's exhibited this problem

    Again, YOUR problem, not mine.


    ever since the Democratic Party set aside a special seating section for BLM at the 2016
    Democratic Convention and he refused to acknowledge that it happened.

    See what I mean about Runaway? Since when was I supposed to, “ACKNOWLEDGE” seating? (LOL)

    Or do another RUNAWAY, like you do BillB.

    I do, and on corrections. And I cannot figure out the massive difference in per capita staffing levels between departments in cities with similar crime rates (over 100% more in some cases). And the pensions are absolutely ridiculous. Also, the
    militarization of municipal departments is out of control.

    I would never defend the way the U.S. government's massive buraucracy wastes money. However,
    two key differences with Canada. First, the population of Canada is only 38.25 million compared
    to 331.9 million in the U.S., and that doesn't include the 20 million illegals we're saddled with.
    Second, Under Biden the U.S. has an open Southern border and millions more totally unvetted illegals
    are pouring in and being turned loose all over our country. We also have massive record high amounts of
    illegal drugs flooding across our open border which kill more than 100,000 Americans every year.

    America has a terrible, record high violent crime problem brought on by Biden's open border and
    the left wing Democrat's defund the police, catch and release and no cash bail policies. So, for these
    reasons it's difficult to fairly compare Canada's police and incarceration cost to America's.

    Does the magnitude of law enforcement funding in the US make any sense to you?
    So you think the U.S. spends too much money on law enforcement?

    Irish Mike
    I do, and on corrections. And I cannot figure out the massive difference in per capita staffing levels between departments in cities with similar crime rates (over 100% more in some cases). And the pensions are absolutely ridiculous. Also, the
    militarization of municipal departments is out of control.


    I would never defend the way the U.S. government's massive buraucracy wastes money. However,
    two key differences with Canada. First, the population of Canada is only 38.25 million compared
    to 331.9 million in the U.S., and that doesn't include the 20 million illegals we're saddled with.

    Not sure what that has to do with anything. I didn't mention Canada.


    Second, Under Biden the U.S. has an open Southern border and millions more totally unvetted illegals
    are pouring in and being turned loose all over our country.

    Every study I have seen says illegal immigrants commit crimes at about half the rate of American citizens, so that means the migrants are very likely lowering crime rates.

    We also have massive record high amounts of
    illegal drugs flooding across our open border which kill more than 100,000 Americans every year.

    Without looking, I'd be willing to bet British Columbia has a higher overdose death rate than the US. The supply will always be there if there is a demand. The solution depends on reducing demand.

    America has a terrible, record high violent crime problem

    The current crime rates are nowhere near the record.


    brought on by Biden's open border and
    the left wing Democrat's defund the police, catch and release and no cash bail policies. So, for these
    reasons it's difficult to fairly compare Canada's police and incarceration cost to America's.

    I really wasn't comparing to Canada's expenditures, which are ridiculous too. Of course, Canada doesn't have the horrific gun problem the US has, so there are some savings there. And Canada also had a very high incarceration rate until the Supreme Court
    stepped in and told the lower courts that it was to be used as a last resort (and I think it is still relatively high compared to other developed countries). I think the crime has very little to do with the factors you mentioned because the increase wasn'
    t restricted to those jurisdiction. Look at the Republican controlled jurisdictions that didn't "defund" (i.e. 5% reduction) or reduce bail. Did they experience a comparable rise in crime starting in 2020 (Covid)? I think they did.

    So, by your logic, if you don't lock up criminals and just put them right back on
    the streets, you'll have a better country? No thanks.

    Irish Mike

    By my logic, putting people in prison is reactive, and it doesn't help the victims or solve the problem in the long run. There is always a new crop coming up, and the ones who eventually get out (almost all) are usually just more determined and skilled
    criminals than when they went in. By my logic, the problem can only be solved by being proactive, which would mean slowing the *creation* of criminals by putting an end to tolerating children being raised in Third World conditions, which I suspect would
    account for at least 100% of the excess crime rates the US experiences compared to similar developed countries. Canada has First Nations people growing up in slums too, and I'm sure it is no coincidence they have something like 6x the homicide rate of
    the rest of Canada. Hopelessness breeds crime.

    Having the US flooded with 400 million guns (I'm reading stories lately of kids just finding them in the street) is a big problem too, but there is little to nothing you can do about that now. Right-wingers got their way and now you'll just have to live
    with the ugly consequences.

    Gun ownership increased EXPONENTIALLY and homicides went DOWN over a 20 YEAR period.

    - then a more or less continual decline ensued (slight upticks in 2015, 2016)
    until
    -2018 4.96 per 100,000

    Gun ownership increased EXPONENTIALLY and homicides went DOWN over a 20 YEAR period.

    Not much of a supporting argument for the 'homicide is caused by too many guns' propaganda.

    It's gratifting to realize that even someone with a middling I.Q. comparable to yours can easily recognize the very spurious nature of your argument, therefore relieving me of any need to elaborate on it. What a fool.

    In other words you have nothing. Who would have guessed?

    Pro tip: next time don't link to a graph that so clearly proves you wrong. The US has among the highest incarceration rates in the world (if not the highest), FAR higher than any other developed Western country, yet has terrible crime rates compared to
    those countries. That should have been your first clue that incarceration is not an effective long-term solution to high crime. If I've said it once I have said it 100 times: if you want to lower crime on a systemic level and a lasting basis, you need to
    address the well understood social conditions that CREATE criminals in the first place. That is the only way. The US has failed dismally in that regard. Lots and lots of prisons (and guns for anyone with a pulse) is NOT the solution. Anyone with an IQ
    over 50 should be able to see that is not working for the US.

    ➡️ Higher incarceration rate = lower homicide rate

    U.S. incarceration rates vs. homicide rates https://marroninstitute.nyu.edu/uploads/content/Crime_Trends.001.jpg


    ➡️ More guns = fewer homicides

    U.S. gun purchases
    -1998 982,840 guns purchased
    and that remained about the same through 2005
    -2006 10,036,933 guns purchased
    and continued to increase nearly every year until
    -2020 39,695,315 guns purchased

    ➡️ U.S.homicide rate from all causes (+-23-24% are non-firearms related) -1998 6.17 per 100,000 and remained roughly the same until about 2006
    - then a more or less continual decline ensued (slight upticks in 2015, 2016) until
    -2018 4.96 per 100,000

    Gun ownership increased EXPONENTIALLY and homicides went DOWN over a 20 YEAR period.
