Where groups of people are walking into stores, stealing whatever they want and walking out. The staff are instructed not to interfere because theres no sense in them getting hurt and since the DA isnt prosecuting a lot of these crimes the Cops dont even bother arresting them if they even show up at all.

Well yeah, but it becomes a question of how many tax dollars do you want to put into policing and jailing non-violent criminals. Sounds like the San Francisco approach is saving the state money as well as correlating with a reduction in violent crime.
