The others either posted bail or were released without bail.<\/p>\n<p>The chief pointed to zero-bail policies that were put in place last year for certain crimes, including burglary, as a public health measure to reduce jail populations during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cProgressive\u201d policies to reduce or eliminate bail have come under the spotlight recently, after a number of high-profile crimes allegedly committed by those released, including a mass murder in a Christmas parade in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2021\/11\/24\/gop-rep-cammack-waukesha-massacre-is-failure-of-broad-brush-approach-on-bail-reform\/\">Waukesha<\/a>, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>California has a particular problem: not only is cash bail being removed, but the state is governed by Proposition 47 of 2014, which makes retail thefts of up to $950 misdemeanors instead of felonies, meaning that fewer are ever fully prosecuted.<\/p>\n<p>Both Los Angeles and San Francisco have seen mass looting events in the past several weeks. The phenomenon began the weekend before Thanksgiving with a large heist of high-end stores in San Francisco\u2019s Union Square. It has since spread to the suburbs in the Bay Area, to fashionable stores in Los Angeles, and to other cities around the nation, including Chicago.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
