Growing numbers of district attorneys are out to undermine the law

One reason for the surging, often protracted violence in US cities is the rise of a host of progressive prosecutors who actually tilt against law and order.

In Contra County, Calif., outside San Francisco, DA Diana Becton will now consider looters’ “needs” when weighing criminal charges. At Politico, she and four other black, female DAs (from Chicago, Boston, St. Louis and Durham) actually slammed the very criminal-justice system they were elected to enforce — ludicrously claiming it was “constructed to control Black people and people of color” and that it’s now doing just that.

The Bay City’s DA is Chesa Boudin, the son of Brink’s robbery cop-killers who was raised by radical Weather Underground leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. He, too, has adopted rules making it harder to prosecute suspects.

You mean just like Revolutionary France or Russia ?

Now there’s a model to follow

I read that there were dozens of arrests in Portland last night (Saturday Night). Not sure if local police or Federally deputized or Feds doing the arresting.

Possibly the promise to defund cities got some response.

Yep - he and Barr are collaborating - US Marshalls are now out and about and other LEOs are being deputized...and since many anarchists are crossing State lines with intent for mayhem, there will be a lot of federal charges coming down to help dilute the sanctuary-for-all-criminals cities...
