This is SB91, less APD presence & response to low-level 'broken-windows' crime, less prosecution of violent offenders, longer or non-existent response to the serious spike in shoplifting to pay for drugs, more dithering by city officials, and 'soft penalties' for overall crime - in action.  The local police forces pay less and less attention to base-level crimes like shoplifting, vandalism, illegal, filthy camps in parks and on sidewalks downtown, it goes up all across the board, all of which fuels the rise in drug use, requiring more theft to get more drugs, which APD doesn't respond to, which increases the violence and base-level crime, all categories go up.... does anyone NOT see where this cycle is going?
