"White supremacy is ingrained everywhere," Moriarty said. "White supremacy is what we all live in. It's the water."

************************************************************
During a May 28 event, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty explained she believes there’s an effort to cause the public to fear crime.
“Moderate Democrats have done a lot of work in making people afraid of downtown Minneapolis,” she said. “There is a concerted effort to make people afraid of crime.”
The conversation took place between Moriarty and Dr. T. Anansi Wilson, a Mitchell Hamline School of Law professor. The discussion centered around being “good trouble” and activism.
“White supremacy is ingrained everywhere,” Moriarty said. “White supremacy is what we all live in. It’s the water. It’s what we swim in here.”
Wilson agreed and took it a step further, explaining his belief that white supremacy is embedded in all public policy, including the Constitution. “We have to think about the Constitution as the living will of the white supremacist, slave-owning, genocidal, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, cis-heterosexist, capitalistic, classics [sic] maniacs, right,” Wilson said.
Moriarty, a white, lesbian woman, was elected to serve as Hennepin County attorney in 2022. Her campaign included progressive approaches to criminal justice such as “restorative justice programs” and “alternatives to incarceration.”
“Crime is down,” Moriarty said repeatedly throughout the conversation.
She also discussed her advice for current law students, which was to ask more questions. “You talk about the rule of law, it’s like, what is that? I mean, I kind of wonder how anybody talks about the rule of law now. Wasn’t Roe v. Wade rule of law? I mean, what happened to that?” Moriarty said.
“Yes, you can,” Moriarty replied when asked if the public can expect her to seek reelection. She explained that her office has been involved in a lot of good work, including expungement clinics and reevaluating sentences of individuals who are incarcerated.
“There’s so many people we haven’t charged on aiding and abetting,” Moriarty said when discussing how proud she is of the work she’s been doing as Hennepin County attorney. “The office used to charge people who were there with aiding and abetting, and we don’t do that anymore.”
She also pushed back on the notion that she harbors an anti-police bias. “I have nothing against law enforcement, I want everybody to be held accountable. That doesn’t mean punished, by the way, but accountability is important. Sometimes that’s restorative practices, most of the time it should be restorative practices.”
However, police demonstrate “fragility to any kind of feedback or criticism,” Moriarty claimed.
Days after the interview, Moriarty’s office dropped charges against a state trooper for a fatal use of force incident last year, citing her office’s inability to “prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime occurred.”
When you’re dealing with someone who sees a completely different reality there’s no possibility of reaching a compromise. By mainstreaming the LGBT crowd, we also approved whatever reality they believe in at the moment. There’s no longer a basis from which to fight the craziness.
For a moment, I was thinking of a different Professor Moriarty with similar views on crime.
I wonder what her early life looks like.
In our city only 25% of all murders result in the arrest of a suspect so you’re not likely to get caught anyway if you leave the scene.
“Wilson agreed and took it a step further, explaining his belief that white supremacy is embedded in all public policy, including the Constitution.”
Why don’t these moronic ingrates just leave and make everyone happier?
I thought a law was a bill passed by a legislature/Congress. Was I misinformed, Mary Moriarty?
Yep. Looking at the photo confirmed my suspicions. Another nutso leftist White woman.
Malcolm X was right...................
A true believer, the most dangerous of all!
A significant portion of accountibility IS punishment you crazy az d#ke
We are being governed by children....................
That idiot needs to live for a month in the ninth ward in New Orleans and her attitude about crime will change, if she lives.
If a black kills a white or other black, then the black community will be indifferent.
But if a white kills a black, expect massive indignation and threats of rioting if the white is not found and punished.
R U Crimophobic?!
I think all of these bleeding heart, white leftist criminal advocates should be taken into the deepest part of the 'hood' at 2:00 in the morning and dropped off to walk home on their own.
There is a side of my city along a main, historic thoroughfare gone ghetto that my city is trying to "revitalize." They sent out an invitation for a survey on how this could best be done. I was honest and told them to ban Section 8 housing and lock up all the drug addicts and dealers. It didn't go over well. They want to flush millions down a toilet.
“White supremacy” should be treated like another “n-word,” never allowed to be spoken.
What an idiot.
