San Francisco's district attorney blasted the "culture" of lawlessness in the city and around the country, during a public safety town hall.
City officials met with frustrated residents to discuss law enforcement's plans to address the city's crime, drug and homelessness problems during the Monday meeting. Residents aired their "disgust" with officials, on the lack of arrests for people who were openly drug dealing and under the influence on city streets, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins acknowledged the crowd's concerns, and suggested the problem was criminals were not being held accountable in the city.
"Right now, we have a city that’s been lacking in accountability," Jenkins told residents, who reportedly cheered in agreement. She argued San Francisco wasn't the only place dealing with brazen retail theft.
