Is he drug addicted, mentally ill, desperate? Is he part of a major retail fencing operation? What\u2019s driving this behavior and is it in any way representative, because it was presented as&nbsp;something symptomatic?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boudin continued, \u201cIf Walgreens has insurance for certain goods or they expect a certain amount of loss, if they would rather not risk lawsuits or escalation to violence\u2014then maybe that\u2019s something we should know about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He seemingly blamed Walgreens, saying, \u201cWhen this particular individual was arrested, and we got the full police history, it turned out that he had been detained by the police previously after another Walgreens incident, and they didn\u2019t arrest him because Walgreens had said they did not want to press charges in that prior case. The police had known who he was for months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In May, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Walgreens had closed 17 San Francisco stores in the last five years due to the \u201ccost of business and shoplifting.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"10.604651162791\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Brazen shoplifting has worsened in San Francisco.

Look 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>\u201cIn order to address the ongoing problem of shoplifting at retail establishments like Walgreens, Supervisor Ahsha Safa\u00ed held a hearing Thursday, May 13, with retailers, police, District Attorney Chesa Boudin, and probation departments.
