Prosecutors are not prosecuting, police aren't motivated to do their jobs and on top of that encouraging people to not file reports all the while mis-categorizing crimes to make it look like crimes is going down when it's not. Rinse and repeat.
Unfortunate reality.
A long time friend of mine is a prosecutor and a complete ideologue. It's been very depressing to hear her boast and confide in me that she will drop charges based on race and tack on charges if the accused is white (she's black). When I ask her about this and the ethics behind it she sees it as a form of "reparations." Insane behavior that I've pleaded with her to stop doing. She also smokes weed pretty much everyday and flirts with others in the courthouse (which apparently is pretty common????).
She also bragged the other day about letting someone who plead guilty to a DUI off with no charges and that it was something like his 5th time doing it. When I asked why she very proudly exclaimed "jailing someone who's driving under the influence will only lead him to commit further crimes down the road as it could ruin his career and employment opportunities."
Sorry for the rant but I've gone insane listening to her constantly speak about this to the point I no longer talk to her/call her or reach out.
