> The simple fact is that this State and County have set themselves on a course to disaster. And the worst part is that the agency for whom I work has backed literally every policy change that had the predictable, and predicted, outcome of more crime and more people getting hurt.
So the claim is that his state, county, and agency are all backing policies that predictably lead to more crime.
Those policies are then characterized as:
* bond/bail reform * reduced parole and sentences in some cases * "malicious" prosecution of law officers * not prosecuting some crimes that are on the books
Unfortunately the author makes zero references, citations, or arguments for why these policies are harmful, as enacted, and why they might have led to the negative experiences of their family.
So it's an emotional content (nearly) free emotional rant that doesn't move the discussion forward in any helpful way.
Analysis that showed even correlation would be interesting/useful. This is not.
> malicious and unnecessary prosecution of law enforcement officers
None of this has anything to do with "no repercussions for gangbangers".
There’s not much content here. The author is a prosecutor who is upset that policies have been introduced that put fewer people behind bars. They think that we need “tough on crime” laws that keep their kids safe. I am not surprised in the least.
I find it quite troubling, but that's where we are. I don't care about my reputation.
So, yeah, if I see someone attacking a view popular among the left, my first assumption is going to be that the person in question leans right.
