In San Francisco, a proposal by DanielLurie aims to hold first-time drug dealers accountable to combat open-air drug dealing. The issue has led to a practical endorsement by the Governor to recall Alameda County DA Pamela Price, criticized for her handling of drug cases. The Governor's response includes sending in CHP and Feds to assist. Additionally, the California Governor and Attorney General have placed the Alameda County DA's office in a de facto receivership, dispatching CalGuard attorneys to help prosecute serious crimes in Oakland and the East Bay. Internal criticism from the DA's office highlights a lack of confidence in DA Price's ability to prosecute crime, with the state's intervention labeled as a soft receivership.
Alameda County DA Pamela Price is pretending she welcomes it and the Governor is pretending it's a "partnership," but Newsom's dispatching of CA DoJ and CalGuard attorneys to "appropriately prosecute" crime in Oakland is basically a soft receivership. https://t.co/9iD4LpI9bs
Those quotes from inside the @AlamedaCountyDA are damning. "[Price] is literally incapable of prosecuting crime", another person said. "This is the fallout." https://t.co/rviuhtE5Kn
State officials are sending attorneys to Alameda County to help DA Pamela Price prosecute "serious and complex crimes" in Oakland and the East Bay. Several people familiar with the DA's office said they saw it as a vote of no confidence in DA Price. MORE: https://t.co/2aoWCgnKrh

Practically an endorsement to recall Alameda County DA Pamela Price by the governor. At least in San Francisco, they sent in the CHP and Feds to fight organized drug dealing. This is to help prosecute because the DA can't or won't do her job. @Recall_Price https://t.co/xddYMOtwM4
He's right. If they really wanted to stop the organized drug dealing in San Francisco (and by they, I mean the state and the Feds), they could. https://t.co/ocXyqiUMVQ
The era of open-air drug dealing in San Francisco must end. My proposal will hold first-time drug dealers accountable. https://t.co/KikkCTvDfW
