Far from it. On one occasion, when the DA in question went after a notorious fence (buyer for stolen goods), he had to rent a u-haul truck because the SFPD would not supply a vehicle to transport the arrestee.

You have to look past the hype. Media on a national scale ran a character assassination program against that DA for trying to rebalance his organization's efforts against the organizers of crime instead of individual delinquents.



This is standard inter-agency nonsense. The arrest was made.

It doesn’t absolve Chesa’s various failures to enforce the law. (I say this as someone who started on the police reform side.)


I don't think there's anything standard about this. I've looked into numerous claims of Boudin not enforcing the law during his tenure and they invariably turned out to be cherry picking at best.
