Woke crowd led California down the path to more crime
...
So when the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a California prison reduction of up to 46,000 inmates in 2011, the tide was turning toward liberals, and the time was ripe for Proposition 47. This was a ballot initiative that passed three years later, downgrading numerous nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors.
Police and politicians say it was an ill-conceived law that tricked voters, as evidenced most recently by a surge in looting in the Bay Area. Because thefts aren't usually prosecuted, many retailers in liberal San Francisco have shut down.
"The easiest way to reduce crime is to fix Proposition 47 and reimpose strong sentencing for the pervasive retail theft that is literally closing stores across our state," said Tracy McCray , vice president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association.
"Exacerbating the situation is San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin's insistence on dropping or downgrading charges of those caught red-handed that allows those very same crooks to further victimize our communities over and over again."

What is clear is that liberals have decided to protect the criminals instead of their victims. The prosecutors who refuse to prosecute are a disaster for the community they work in. As long as California keeps electing liberal Democrats they are putting themselves at risk.
