You would be unproductive too if 100% of your arrests led to the immediate reslease of the suspect.

The police won their recall election and the Mayor appointed one of their allies as the DA.

Their rates are still abysmal.

The police won their recall election? I wasn't aware that SFPD was sponsoring recalls. And if you're trying to imply the mayor's choice of DA impacted policy, it seems like you should take it up with the person who claims that the DA's policies haven't changed.
I guess if you can name a city where that's true then you'd have a point. The prosecution rate in SF has been about the same since records began.
Prosecution rate is conditioned on the cases presented, so it’s not an independent variable. You can’t infer much from it being constant over time.
