[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s pretty clear that it’s political. Trump appointees go from a 30% decline rate to 50% by the time they leave office. That’s insane. And anyone who has dealt with MPD know that they ain’t arresting unless it’s egregious. [/quote] The shift, a 10% increase in no papered cases, started under Obama if you read the article behind the chart. Was quite stable up until then, across various D & R presidents. The article postulates potential reasons and ones that are less likely to be valid. So end of O, T and Biden appointees in place for what is now more than 50% of felonies not prosecuted, including gun crimes. USAO has NEVER been responsive to FOIAs, this may be part of the reason, resources another. Mendo staffer pointed out this was a lower prosecution rate than Philly. Wonder how it stacks up against big West Coast cities, like LA? [/quote]
