Yeah just because criminals do crimes and avoid prosecution, we should give up prosecuting crimes. Schools can build themselves.

- xyzzyz 6y agoI mean, I’m not sure your crime prosecution analogy works all that great considering how many times this year we’ve heard about defunding the police, and in how many cities the local prosecutors have been executing policy precisely of giving up prosecuting crime.
- tt433 6y agoThey're at least explicitly saying out loud what some of their choices about not prosecuting are. Most of the time the thought that goes into those decisions isn't shared with the public. The prosecutor has a wide degree of independence, and they are always accountable to someone. Even prosecutors who aren't "progressive" choose not to prosecute some crimes, to litigate everything would be ridiculous and counter productive to the business of government and commerce. My guess is your hair is on end because of a prosecutor(s) who was installed by the public.
