Brief mentions of “had five previous arrests” but not a lot of details.

Probably worked the system all the way so cops would be afraid to pick on a black man and have it look bad to the review boards. Part of black privilege.

There used to be estimates around of how many crimes a convicted criminal had committed before their first arrest on average. Can’t find one now. Apologies.

Remember, AOC and the Squad want “decarceration” of persons of color due to past unfair arrests.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on prison abolition: ‘explore just alternatives to incarceration’

NY Post June 4, 2021
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged politicians to stop building more prisons to address violent crime and instead provide more hospital and counseling services to lawbreakers who are mentally ill.

Her comments drew immediate condemnation from her pro-law-and-order critics.

“If we want to reduce violent crime, if we want to reduce the number of people in our jails, the answer is to stop building more of them,’” Ocasio-Cortez said during a Bronx event Thursday.

AOC is proof why the 19th Amendment is a huge mistake for America. Women are emotional and they cannot be reasoned logically.
