Here are some facts:

1. A small number of people commit a wildly disproportionate amount of crime, about 1% commit most crime and 3 to 5 percent commit ALL crime.

2. Offenders who commit major crimes also commit constant public order infractions, so policing public order incapacitates serious criminals.

The guy who gropes women on the train or mugs people probably didn’t swipe his credit card to get through the turnstile.

3. Nearly all the people killed in controversial “Black Lives Matter” incidents belonged to the tiny subset of recidivist criminals. Jordan Neely and George Floyd are both examples of this kind of person, and both should have been in prison.

4. Depolicing public order crimes to protect habitual offenders from police interactions and incarceration costs a lot of lives, like that of Iryna Zarutska.

“”Here’s one thing (among many) that liberals just don’t get. It’s expensive to incarcerate career criminals. But those folks do a lot of damage. So it’s more expensive to let them run free.””

Sure, but... the Democrats need the criminals to ‘run free’... because so far, the criminals are not allowed to vote for Democrats while incarcerated. And besides... the Democrats couldn’t care less about how much anything costs US taxpayers. The more the better is their mantra.
