There is a new day in San Francisco and progressives are not liking it one bit.
With Chesa Boudin finally gone, the interim San Francisco DA took a flamethrower to the office.
In all, 15 staffers were fired, and I have a feeling that is far from the end of the changes.
Enforce the Law
It is rare enough for a recall petition to get enough signatures, let alone actually being successful.
Boudin has the distinction of the rare occasion when that happens.
Rising crime rates in San Francisco were dropped into his lap because of his progressive policies, and the new woman in charge is erasing every last scent of him in the office.
On the changeover, Interim San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins stated, “Today, I made difficult, but important changes to my management team and staff that will help advance my vision to restore a sense of safety in San Francisco by holding serious and repeat offenders accountable and implementing smart criminal justice reforms.”
Jenkins worked in the office before Boudin took over and ended up leaving.
She was also part of the recall effort to have him removed.
She was appointed to take over for Boudin after the recall removed him from office by Mayor London Breed.
A special election will take place in November to find the replacement for Boudin, who will serve the remainder of the term.
Jenkins added, “I promised the public that I would restore accountability and consequences to the criminal justice system while advancing smart reforms responsibly.
“I have full faith and confidence that these women will promote and protect public safety while delivering justice in all of its various forms.”
Cat Brooks, co-founder of the progressive Anti Police-Terror Project, immediately went to fearmongering over the mass firings.
Brooks stated, “San Francisco has taken 10 giant steps backwards.
“Jenkins was dangled in front of us because she’s a black woman, which was supposed to make us feel better, but the firings are terrifying.
“I hope this raises the ire of the left and makes us realize we must fight, or we will lose.
“We always say a shift to the right can’t happen in California, but it is happening right here in San Francisco.”
I am going to go out on a limb and say that most people in San Francisco would disagree.
If they did agree, Boudin would still be in charge of the office.
