[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The story says one issue specific to DC is that our attorney general is elected, not appointed, and that our attorney general refuses to prosecute the vast majority of arrests made by the cops[/quote] I’m not bothering to click, but if that’s the difference, an editor needs to be fired. The DC Attorney general is not allowed to prosecute felonies [/quote] It doesn't say this. It says we have an appointed USAO rather than an elected DA.[/quote] Exactly. And that is true. However it is also true that our elected AG, who is supposed to prosecute most juvenile crime, seems to be failing effectively do so. So, in that respect, being elected does not seem to have moved the needle. [/quote]
