\u201cthefts at its stores in San Francisco were four times the chain\u2019s national average,\u201d the New York Times noted, adding that the chain has \u201cclosed 17 stores, largely because the scale of thefts had made business untenable\u201d in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Brendan Dugan, director, Organized Retail Crime &#038; Corporate Investigations at CVS Health even told the New York Times that San Francisco is \u00a0\u201cone of the epicenters of organized retail crime\u201d and that CVS now instructs its security personnel to refrain from pursuing shoplifters because they\u2019ve been \u201cassaulted on a pretty regular basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although both Fox News and the New York Times point to a number of factors responsible for the increase in petty theft, \u201cretail executives and police officers\u201d suggested that \u201cProposition 47, the\u00a02014 ballot measure that reclassified nonviolent thefts as misdemeanors if the stolen goods are worth less than $950, had emboldened thieves,\u201d and that shoplifting in San Francisco has become so lucrative that organized crime is now involved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere appears to be plenty of blame to go around when it comes to organized retail crime run amok in San Francisco, from limited legal consequences for first-time and repeat offenders and the lucrative nature of the illegal trading, primarily done via online platforms, such as eBay,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retailwire.com\/discussion\/organized-theft-is-turning-san-francisco-into-retails-wild-west\/\">RetailWire noted in its own repor<\/a>t on San Francisco\u2019s shoplifting epidemic.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco DA Boudin, in turn, placed the blame on the police for \u201cpoor follow up\u201d in an interview late last month, at one point even suggesting that San Francisco police officers are deliberately ignoring crime because the DA\u2019s office is pressing reform, and the law enforcement community wants to remain \u201cracist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is the POA (police officers union) needs someone to point the finger at and this isn\u2019t a new issue,\u201d he said in an interview <a href=\"https:\/\/sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com\/2021\/05\/24\/embattled-da-chesa-boudin-places-blame-for-san-francisco-crime-on-poor-police-follow-up\/\">with a local CBS affiliate<\/a>. \u201cLook they were blaming (Vice President) Kamala Harris and attacking her when she was the district attorney. This is an age-old problem in San Francisco because the POA wants to get away without doing their job. They want to get away with allowing their officers to send racist text messages, to use excessive force against the community, and to engage in systematic violations of civil rights of Black and brown drivers on our streets. And I\u2019m pushing back and demanding that they modernize, that they reform, and that they respect all the members of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
