The police departments can get 100 billion a year and it won't matter when the DA just lets criminals walk after they are arrested. I think that is one of the main factors in the rise of crime and violence. The Waukesha tragedy is a good example of this.

That's the problem here in the Seattle area. First the DA won't charge for many crimes and if they do the judges often don't sentence appropriately

Yeah I'm in the Portland area. It is not going well...
