They added the ACLU is to blame for the recent uptick in smash-and-grab robberies.<\/p>\n<p>According to the president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, voters were lied to with the implementation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/san-diegans-find-fresh-start-prop-47-justice-resource-fair\">Proposition 47<\/a>. The union said the prop, known as the \u201cSafe Neighborhoods and Schools Act,\u201d lowered the level of offense for six types of crimes.<\/p>\n<p>This means crimes, including theft under $950, are only to be classified as misdemeanors. David Swing of the State Police Chief Association said this has only made criminals more calculated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome criminals are actually shopping with calculators and they\u2019re adding up the dollar amount as they are stealing stuff to keep it under that $950 threshold,\u201d said Swing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Grateful for our partnerships with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SimonPropertyGp?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SimonPropertyGp<\/a> Security &amp; BART PD.

Another group of armed men then robbed a luxury store on Melrose Avenue.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chesa, still think a criminal justice system with zero accountability is a good idea? See how SF stacks up against other cities on crime. SF residents are 2x more likely to be property crime victims, 4x as likely to be robbery victims, &amp; SF is less safe than 98% of U.S. cities. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OVoJIvhefs\">pic.twitter.com\/OVoJIvhefs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 San Francisco POA (@SanFranciscoPOA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SanFranciscoPOA\/status\/1461439749298655236?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 18, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A citywide tactical alert was placed for Los Angeles residents, but was shortly removed Saturday. In the meantime, Los Angeles Police said they\u2019re working to tackle this spike in crime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re monitoring the situation with the smash-and-grab robberies across the country very closely. We have a close relationship with LAPD and local authorities, and are working very closely with them to make sure that we\u2019re prepared,\u201d said Louis Schillace, the senior general manager at Westfield Century City.<\/p>\n<p>Police unions believe the ACLU is essentially \u201crolling out the red carpet\u201d for criminals in California. However, in an effort to combat this, five California police unions are sponsoring a movement called the \u201cACLU Watch\u201d dedicated to safeguarding victims and holding criminals accountable.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/record-number-of-americans-are-quitting-jobs\/\">Record Number Of Americans Are Quitting Jobs<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mannequin is seen on the street after a store was broken into in Hollywood, California.
