| This number of 98% of crime is going to turn into 110% and 130% and 150% unless exigent action is taken today. | |
| One of the things that can't get overlooked is you've got multiple policies that are beginning to impinge on one another. | |
| So you've got Prop 57 in the early releases, tens of thousands of people getting credits earlier than they should have. | |
| Think about if you're a victim. | |
| If the DA told you, hey, you're not going to see this person in your community, then you're at Walmart this afternoon and you see him. | |
| The victims of crime are being traumatized from this thing. | |
| And then Prop 47 takes a bunch of felonies and turns them into misdemeanors. | |
| And so the same crimes that would have been stopped by the criminal justice system now are treated with a little slap on the wrist and go back outside. | |
| And then you get what you're seeing with these strong-armed robberies in the middle of the day, or San Francisco, or major cities, or groups of thugs are breaking windows at gunpoint, stealing stuff en masse. | |
| Certainly we've got evidence that community safety outcomes have gotten much, much worse. | |
| So the very things that we said we were attempting to achieve, we've got worse outcomes in both. | |
| So folks have got to be held accountable. |
