Liberals get mugged by reality
How do we reduce crime?
If your answer to that question is: by not charging crimes and thereby depicting cratering prosecution statistics as “crime reduction,” congratulations. You, too, can become one of the nation’s high-profile, big city “progressive prosecutors,” with all the media adulation and George Soros-backed funding streams that implies. No legal experience? No problem. All that stuff about mastering the law, applying it to facts? A quaint relic of the prehistoric 1990s. The aim of the "progressive prosecutor project" is to leave the laws unenforced. You’re policing a racialized, cultural Marxist narrative, not the streets.
Wait, the "progressive prosecutor project" … isn’t that all over now? Wishful thinking, I’m afraid, by us earthbound types, who notice that serious crime is surging, not just while arrests and prosecutions lag but because arrests and prosecutions lag, such lagging being a key tenet of the project to begin with.
