The “shoplifting wave” is entirely fake. Violent crime rates didn’t “spike” either. Police weren’t defunded or even substantially reduced anywhere. And police violence rates have continued at the same rates for years. So little has changed in terms of the outcomes that matter.

TLDR: a reported doubling in the rate of shoplifting in San Francisco was caused almost entirely by a single Target store using a new system to automate reporting. There was no more shoplifting than usual at that store; shoplifting is just very seldom reported. https://twitter.com/sfchronicle/status/1463663484923564035
