why do they even announce this

[Magnum44]

Another example of police not being responsible for YOUR safety. Why do we pay them then?

Gone, it seems, are the days of "protect and serve".

I have friends who are former or current LEO and the ones I know I'd be happy to serve with. I'd be happy to hear from others if my opening statement seems harsh. Sorry, but citizens pay taxes for services, not pension drawing desk warmers.

So any blind person on the streets of Cowtown better look out for all the mopery.

So it will be handled through street-justice, alrighty then.

Soros DA’s have been routinely doing this all along.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Soros money well invested.

The damn fools! OK, maybe you don’t arrest as many for low-level crimes, but don’t announce that you’re doing that. May as well pass out “Get Out Of Jail Free Cards”.

Fort Worth declares a Misdemeanor Holiday!

I agree with no arrests for several of those small offenses but maybe one or two not. At any event,we sure could do well to stop arresting people for minor things - just warn them or give them a ticket. Arresting is a major deprivation of liberty and costs us taxpayers a ton of money. We should I think have a public discussion of moving some minor offenses away from the arresting process and just give an appropriate warning or ticket

Vigilante justice will return to this country.

[GOP Congress]

At least we have guns. And the homestead doctrine. In California, the only people they are putting in jail are those with money and no guns, simply so they can take their property away.

“Amid”......one of the most clichéd words and phrases used by lazy mediots, along with “in the wake of.”

[Midwesterner53]

Will Texans allow the crime rate to jack up with this sort of non policing?
