Boston's Mayor Wu Wants No Prosecution for Shoplifting & Larceny

This recent and highly controversial proposal by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, suggesting that certain offenses like shoplifting, larceny, and disorderly conduct should no longer be prosecuted. We will compare this proposal to California's Proposition 47, which reclassified many nonviolent crimes as misdemeanors, and examine its effects in San Francisco. Join me as we explore the potential implications of this policy, the reactions from the community, law enforcement, and local businesses, and what it could mean for the future of Boston. Is this a step towards a more progressive justice system, or does it risk undermining public safety and accountability?
