Jenkins is a former prosecutor for Boudin's office, but resigned last year to join the campaign that called for his removal."She sacrificed her career to fight for people in this city to fight for victims who needed a voice in this city," said Breed. Breed held a news conference on Thursday where she formally introduced Jenkins as the city's new district attorney.
"As a Black and Latina woman, I have seen the imbalances and disproportionate impacts of our criminal justice firsthand. I have had family members on both sides of the courtroom," she said. "My family has seen and felt the impacts of police violence. The inequity in the criminal justice system is not theoretical to me—it is part of my lived experience."
"Our Asian community can no longer live in fear of being attacked simply because of who they are," she said. "She has kind of aligned herself with the police union and the Republicans in the recall and it also calls for a return to policies of mass incarceration," said Hamasaki. In an interview with KTVU back in April Jenkins said Boudin was too lax on crime and failed to protect San Franciscans.

You mean former anti-Police commissioner. That John Hamasaki is unhappy means our new DA is a great selection.
Why on earth would give space to disgraced and disgruntled former police commissioner HamasakiLaw....without asking him about his unpaid tax liens? Government is not free. A lawyer like Hamasaki should pay his share. EHarringtonTV CKaftonKTVU henrykleeKTVU AmberKTVU
Lock up violent offenders!!! The first obligation of government is to protect its citizens, whether from foreign attack or internal violence. Some people are just bad and have no conscience
Now you have only ONE job. Clean up SF!
Congratulations 👍👍🥂🍷
Who cares what Hamasaki thinks? He was such a disaster on the Police Commission that even his progressive allies on the Board of Supervisors wouldn't reappoint him for another term.
Who the fuck cares what HamasakiLaw thinks?
I'm sure she'll kiss police ass in the manner that they demand.
Lol we’re just going with Kamala 2.0 already
You could have at least tagged him HamasakiLaw! 😂
I think we all are unhappy with the mayor's choice
