Communities weren't targeted
Individual criminals were. And crime dropped precipitously since that law's passage to their lowest levels ever-until we decided to elect DAs who refuse to prosecute.
- typeofhuman 5y agoAfter listening to the Chief of Police of Chicago I have begun to understand an overlooked component of crime in their city. That is the justice/court system. As the Chief puts it, they repeatedly arrest the same people over and over. Not for minor offenses, no we're talking about weapons charges and other violent crime. The courts and DA continue to release these people back into the community. It's not the police, he proclaimed, that are failing the community, it's the courts for not putting these people behind bars.
