In Philadelphia, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw has set forth new guidelines to stop police officers from arresting people accused of a host of nonviolent misdemeanor crimes. Instead, they’ll briefly detain the suspect to confirm the identity and fill out arrest warrant paperwork, then release the suspect. The arrest warrant will be served at a later time when the coronavirus risk has faded.
The list of crimes that will no longer lead to people being processed into jail includes prostitution and all narcotics crimes.

In a recently surfaced documents that are detailing the city’s policies for its state of emergency revealed the questionable law enforcement move. Leaked memo below: We can’t identify this as any type of official document and we can’t confirm the origins of the document but the latest revelation made by the Philadelphia Inquirer we can tell that the situation is not looking good.
The announcement came in an internal memo outlining protections including social distancing during roll call and emphasizing the importance of the public’s safety, as well as the safety of officers. A boldfaced, yellow-highlighted paragraph notes that “if an officer believes that releasing the offender would pose a threat to public safety, the officer will notify a supervisor,” who would decide whether the suspect should be held.

This isn’t just a Philadelphia plan as it seems:

From the New York Post:
New York City is considering freeing jailed suspects over the coronavirus, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday — a move backed by the city Board of Correction and Manhattan and Brooklyn DAs.
City officials are “evaluating right now people who might be particularly high-risk in terms of vulnerability to the virus,” de Blasio said at an afternoon press conference.
The inmate group would presumably include the elderly and those suffering from diabetes, asthma, heart disease, lung disease and compromised immune systems — all identified as leaving people vulnerable to the virus.
Suspects deemed at low risk of committing new alleged criminal offenses also could be released, the mayor said.
Authorities would “evaluate those numbers, the details, and determine if, case by case, any of those individuals should be taken out of our jail system,” he said.
The city Board of Correction, which oversees the jails, said in a statement Tuesday that the Big Apple needs to follow the lead of Los Angeles and Ohio authorities who have already started to release inmates to try to prevent the spread of the deadly contagion.
“The City must begin this process now,” the BOC said. “The City’s jails have particular challenges to preventing disease transmissions on a normal day and even more so during a public health crisis.”
In the meantime, it largely appears that criminals will be provided with essentially free reign to commit theft, property offenses, burglary, vandalism, grand theft auto, and prostitution without fear of quick arrest.
This could be the end of the system as we know it!
Similar cases in the past proved to be very bad and had almost anarchic results.
The Democrats in San Francisco have also made theft under $950 a misdemeanor under “Proposition 47” & cops won’t even arrest you for the crime.
Not surprisingly, this has had very predictable results.
It turns out if you tell people they won’t get arrested for stealing, it’s like a free pass to go shopping.
Five years later we have devastating results.

Supported by the state Democratic Party and championed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the referendum was passed by a wide margin in 2014. The idea behind it was to reduce certain non-violent felonies to misdemeanors in order to free up resources for cops and prosecutors to focus on violent offenders.
But the things in Philadelphia could get nasty because the current situation is far worse! Some people have reacted to the news by drawing comparisons to The Purge, an apocalyptic movie in which all crimes are made legal for a 12-hour period once a year.
One major difference it seems is that in Philly and possibly elsewhere, this will last a lot longer than 12 hours. Please share this article wherever you can. It is the only way we can work around their censorship and ensure people receive news about issues that Democrats and the mainstream media suppress.
These actions serve multiple democfat libtard socialist angles.
Now they have set a precedent and society hasn’t stopped them.
What could POSSIBLY go WRONG???
...hence the run on guns and bullets...
Arm yourselves, the democrats have abandoned you to your own resources. The things they will do to retain/regain power.
No, not "people who might be at high risk of re-offending", but "people who might be at high risk of succumbing to Wu Flu."
And then they'll deny that they're putting criminals ahead of law-abiding citizens.
Ok then, Ops normal. Check...
as long as they dont arrest any business owner for ignoring their shut down orders!
“Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw”
I sometimes imagine how much better the country would be without the rats. The relentless, inexhaustible and corrosive cancer that eats at the country’s core like a cancer.
A LOT of counties have now banned gun/ammo sales.
What looters should be told is that if they aren’t shot on sight, they’ll be held in jails whose sterility can not be guaranteed.
In Texas bullet holes in perps will increase dramatically.
Amazing that your own blog is saying so.
Where did you see this material already posted?
Or did your crack team of blog reporters uncover this news?
I guess this will create a lead shortage as we have no choice now.
So how is this different?
This seems like a moot point given that the Philly DA doesn’t prosecute criminals anyway..,

It’s so they can devote resources to arresting the working class stiffs for not having their “papers” in order.
The Attorney General Barr has done a good job of rounding up the MS13 Contract wetwork gangs.
The police can’t protect everyone. That is each individual’s responsibility.
Arm yourselves, ladies and gentlemen.
