U.S. Attorney’s Office Launches Operation Safe Cities to Coordinate Regional Law Enforcement Response to the Most Violent Offenders Involved in Commercial Robberies and Gun Offenses
LOS ANGELES – Federal and local law enforcement officials today announced the launch of Operation Safe Cities, an initiative that includes new protocols, enhanced partnerships and a renewed emphasis on violent crime designed to increase federal prosecutions of the region’s most violent criminals, particularly those involved in commercial robberies, kidnappings, extortions and gun offenses.
Combatting violent crime is one of the Justice Department’s top priorities, and this United States Attorney’s Office is strengthening existing partnerships and creating new connections between federal and local law enforcement to take the most violent and repeat offenders off the streets.
So, what are the odds that most of their effort will end up aimed at otherwise law-abiding people for malum prohibitum gun offenses, and that the malum in se offenses, like robbery, kidnapping, and extortion will continue to be ignored?
I mean, if you it takes dozens of agents to kill one unlicensed dealer with no prior record of violence, you'd not have the resources necessary to deal with criminal gangs.
