Remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe. #NationalPoliceWeek2024

California retailers suffer massive losses, consumers pay more & communities decay due to rampant theft caused by weak laws. This can only be fixed at the ballot box. Voters will get that chance in Nov 2024. #RetailTheft

CA spent 24 billion on homelessness in 5 years & the crisis only worsened.  A failed audit and finger pointing now ensue. There will be a real solution on the Nov 2024 ballot - The Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Retail Theft Reduction Act. casafecommunities.com/#Homelessness #Drugs

A CA mayor’s security detail was randomly assaulted during a downtown news event. It’s more stark evidence that California’s urban centers have been turned into dangerous places, where seriously addicted, mentally ill and many violent people now roam freely due to weak state laws

A state audit found that CA spent over 24 billion on homelessness programs with no evidence of results or success. #FixProp47

'You can literally walk into a retail store every single day of the year and steaI $949 worth of merchandise…And you will NEVER do a minute in jail' 

Prop 47 created this chaos. Due to specific limits in the initiative, the CA legislature can’t fix it. It must go back to the

Yes it is. #FixProp47

Mandated treatment could save his life. In CA, Prop 47 decimated drug courts by effectively eliminating accountability & incentives for treatment. Since then, homelessness has increased 51% in CA while it decreased 11% in the rest of the US. #Homelessness #Drugs #FixProp47

So many of us are tired of the ever-increasing homelessness, open air fentanyl & hard drug activity, retail theft and decaying CA communities. Fixing Prop 47 is a major start to turning it all around. #Homelessness #Drugs #RetailTheft #FixProp47

According to reports, CA legislative leaders and the Gov refuse to even consider amending Prop 47 (enacted in 2014) in any way to address the nation-leading retail theft crisis that is forcing thousands of stores in CA to raise prices, lock up products or close completely. Why?

Today’s Assembly press conference on the “The California Retail Theft Reduction Act” legislative package was supposedly to address the huge increase in retail theft. It was very disappointing.

The proposed legislative response was primarily focused on organized retail theft.

Homelessness has increased 51% in CA since Prop 47 passed and essentially decriminalized hard drugs like fentanyl and meth in 2014. Meanwhile, homelessness decreased 11% in the rest of the country combined. A recent audit found:

“California spent $24 billion to tackle

The theft laws in CA are so weak that brazen criminals steal right in front of store security. Meanwhile, consumers suffer higher prices and stores are forced to close due to crime. Progressive reforms (Prop 47) went too far. #California #Crime #RetailTheft

Fentanyl is openly sold on the streets near California’s Capitol for $1.50/pill. Same scene in SF, LA, SD & more. CA leads the nation in fentanyl deaths, homelessness and retail theft. Ignoring the connections is malpractice. #Homelessness #RetailTheft #Fentanyl #FixProp47

Two things are true about the retail theft crisis in CA.
1) Too many thieves steal with brazen impunity because of weak state laws (Prop 47) that fail to deter recidivists through enhanced consequences;
2) Enhanced collaboration between retailers and DAs directly can help

In-N-Out just closed its only location in Oakland due to crime. Meanwhile, CA has the highest unemployment rate in the nation. CA also leads the nation in homelessness and retail theft.  It’s all connected. #California #Crime #RetailTheft #FixProp47

With all due respect, I’ve read dozens of studies written by some professor, sitting behind some desk, at some university, using incomplete data claiming Proposition 47 had no impact on increased criminal activity.

Hard truth: crime isn’t down; crime is now massively
