While Barack Obama, surrounded with the world's best security detail, opens the prison gates to hundreds of dealers in hard drugs -- dozens with firearms convictions as well -- citizens living in less secure circumstances suffer.
Does his Administration care?
His US Attorney for the District of Columbia managed to yawn out this statement:
Unfortunately, no system is perfect, and in those isolated instances in which problems are identified, we work with our law enforcement partners to address them moving forward.
Excuse my Latin, but that is unadulterated horse manure. He might as well have said, "What, me worry?"
The liberal police chief in DC recently resigned, in significant part because she had seen enough mindless leniency.
The problem is not over-incarceration, despite the insistence of the pro-criminal crowd currently running DOJ. The problem, which they would see under their noses if they cared enough to look, is the opposite.
Unfortunately, the pendulum has swung too far to the left. Progressives would rather endanger public safety than have minority groups over-represented in prison regardless of their criminality rates.
Colin Kapernick is detested in some circles but a folk hero in many others. His stance, built upon the false narrative of racist policing, is receiving more currency than it deserves. Just goes to show that if you repeat a lie long enough, people will start to believe it.
I consider that Trump and the WashTimes editors got this right:
"Hillary Clinton talks constantly about her fears that families will be separated.
But she's not talking about the American families who have been permanently separated from their loved ones because of a preventable homicide,
because of a preventable death, because of murder."
"Zero tolerance for criminal aliens. Zero. Zero. Zero."
WashTimes: "Policies that welcome criminal aliens encourage illegal immigration, and make it easier for them to stay even after they serve jail sentences. Such policies are not liberal, but pro-crime."
