The Left talks a lot about justice reform. They have also jumped on, even started pulling, the anti-cop bandwagon. They can’t “no justice, no peace” but the reality is that this is all partisan bullshit.
Most street cops, the boots on the ground patrol officers, are conservatives. They may not be Trump supporters but as the old expression goes “a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged,” and these cops are up to their eyeballs every day in the negative reality of progressive soft on crime policies.
Prosecutors on the other hand, especially in Blue cities and states, are overwhelmingly far Left progressives. George Soros dumps huge sums of money into their elections.
These prosecutors are largely evil. The zenith of these is Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance. He was notorious for abusing New York’s gravity knife law to arrest and punish working class, often minority, residents. Construction workers, set crews, package handlers, carpenters, etc. were targeted for the pocket knives and box cutters they used for their jobs.
He did this for two reasons. It generated a shot load of revenue for the city in fines. It also boosted his conviction rate. That created a reputation of being a hard-ass prosecutor that defense attorneys, especially over worked public defenders, were afraid to go up against.
Vance let Democratic king maker Harvey Weinstein off the hook for rape but nailed minority laborers to the wall over box cutters.
Finally the NRA, NAACP, ACLU, Public Defenders Union, Village Voice, and NY Post came together to stop him. When that group gets together to call you a tyrannical ashore, you know they are right.
Kamala Harris is from that same school of prosecutors. Serial child molesting illegals got the revolving door treatment. Children who sold Dixie cups of lemonade for a quarter without a business license got hammered so their parents paid fines.
Most recently we saw the St. Louis prosecutor charge a couple for defending their home from rioters but dismissed all charges against looters that ransacked the city.
The Left complains about police and makes the threat out to be the dozen unarmed black men shot by cops every year.
“They are executing us in the streets, daily” they scream.
The reality is that it’s prosecutors who are the threat. Destroying the lives of defenseless minorities to generate revenue and build a reputation of success while engaging in politically selective prosecution of profile individuals.
Since the Left owns the prosecutors but the cops are conservative, the Left goes after the cops and protects the prosecutors.
This isn’t about justice. This is about power. The power to protect their own and destroy you.
Lastly, if Trump and the GOP really wanted to swing minorities to the Right, they would go after (and make a show of it) abusive Leftist prosecutors for their wanton attacking of defenseless, poor minorities as a sacrifice to a reputation and revenue generation.
