Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🇲🇽

The framework of the discussion around the impact of the criminal justice system oftentimes stereotypes Black & brown people as perpetrators of crime — the defendants.

When you look at the data of the victims SF DISTRICT ATTORNEY serves, overwhelmingly they are Black & brown people.

People should take the message that San Franciscans are going to make sure that there's accountability in our city again, for this type of crime. No longer do they view it as low-level crime.

When we provide adequate evidence to them, they will convict.

These crimes demand accountability + we need to send the msg to others who engage in open & brash thefts that our office will pursue & prosecute those involved.

This verdict emphasizes that SF will not tolerate these offenders who attempt to take advantage of our biz community.

Retail theft continues to have a major impact on SF biz from the small corner store to the large retail stores. Individuals such as Aziza Graves commit egregious thefts through brazen + repeated conduct that greatly impacts retailers’ ability to operate & serve the public.

The pre-need cremation industry has historically been prone to abuse, which is why CA law provides robust protection to consumers, many of whom are elderly. Consumer protection statutes must be strictly followed. When they are not, we will not hesitate to take action. SF DISTRICT ATTORNEY

The jury’s verdict holds Mr. Curry accountable for his brazen crimes. With justice served, my office will continue to do everything we can to protect the safety of the public and ensure that there are consequences for criminal behavior.

Thank you to the SF Entertainment Commission for inviting me to the SF Nightlife & Entertainment Summit to discuss strategies for combatting organized retail theft. The SF DISTRICT ATTORNEY & San Francisco Police are working in partnership to disrupt + keep the prolific crews off of our streets.

Retail theft has decimated our retail & small business community in San Francisco.

My office will do everything we can to ensure that brazen retail thieves are held accountable for their crimes that impact not only the businesses but also the communities that they serve.

I would like to thank the jury for their service. The jury’s verdict delivers justice to the victim and her family and also sends a message that there will be accountability for these types of incidents.

Thank you DA Brooke Jenkins 謝安宜 for joining me today at the Suicide Awareness and Prevention Comedy Brunch hosted by Mackey’s Korner and Laffoff - a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing suicide through awareness and education.

I would like to thank the victim in this case who put his faith in law enforcement + the criminal justice system to deliver justice after he was attacked for trying to protect himself & his property.

My office will always stand w/ victims + fight for justice on their behalf.
