> Right, no matter how many people police assault or even murder there are virtually zero DAs willing to prosecute them. That’s what you are talking about, right?

You're being intentionally obtuse.

The person I'm replying to is talking about the rampant petty property crime (see for example the recent walgreens video that's bouncing around the internet) that they decline to prosecute sufficiently even in the most flagrant cases.

But yes, the DA should prosecute cops too because equality under law. And they fail at that more or less nationwide so it doesn't explain why property crime is so much more rampant in places like SF and Seattle than it is in places like Chicago and Cleveland.
