It seems like a total non-sequitur to me.
But it is. I spent all of 2020 listening to daily edicts on this subject from privileged HR winos in my SF company, while they endorsed riots, and publicly supported criminal trials where it turns out that nope, the criminal was actually the bad guy.
Radical chic is temporarily fashionable. It helps make the laptop class feel "they're all in this together" while they're getting care packages of aromatic candles and weekly Calm sessions. But then it's in your backyard and its a problem.
Getting rid of Chesa Boudin will not fix this problem, because SF policy is "we don't want this", but if you ask what they do want, it's the same stuff they've been pushing for decades.
Edit: in the briefly posted and then deleted reply to my comment, it was shown to be 100% the case the comment was conflating “we support the right to protest but condemn any violence” with “we support violence”
In fact the comment even said: ‘Every company in the Bay Area was "making a statement" on BLM events that were characterized exclusively by massive vandalism and violence.’
Why yes they were making statements, but not in support of violence, they were making statements condemning violence. I work for a Bay Area company, and our ceo like pretty much all companies said “we support people’s right to protest but are against any violence.”
People who denied the fact that many BLM protests turned into riots, and then still used their company to platform their public supported them are... numerous in HR in silicon valley.
Anyway, unfortunately that opinion is wrong, having studied that time period I would definitely say a different political organization has far more similarities to the red guard. And the similarities I see go well beyond demanding unquestioned loyalty and being anti-science.
I am not going to name any names, if any come to your mind that is purely on you.
Rather than seeing this as police corruption, you're falling for their propaganda.
Crime increases
"Fucking police"
If the police are sitting there watching a crime happening, and aren't doing anything about it, they should be fired. Of course, they can't be fired because their union won't let that happen.
The correct response here is indeed "Fucking police".
