The local government officials stopped because it's a california-wide law. You can like the law or dislike it, but don't blame the local officials.

No, its not. Prop. 47 is a state law, but while it reduces the category of offense for some thefts, it doesn't require nonprosecution or no police response. That's a DA and/or police policy choice, and it’s not one every other place in the state does the way SF does.
