| Challenge accepted. This article is an emotional rant (true or false) is not well grounded in facts and causality. There fundamental claim is that > The simple fact is that this State and County have set themselves on a course to disaster. And the worst part is that the agency for whom I work has backed literally every policy change that had the predictable, and predicted, outcome of more crime and more people getting hurt. So the claim is that his state, county, and agency are all backing policies that predictably lead to more crime. Those policies are then characterized as: * bond/bail reform
* reduced parole and sentences in some cases
* "malicious" prosecution of law officers
* not prosecuting some crimes that are on the books Unfortunately the author makes zero references, citations, or arguments for why these policies are harmful, as enacted, and why they might have led to the negative experiences of their family. So it's an emotional content (nearly) free emotional rant that doesn't move the discussion forward in any helpful way. Analysis that showed even correlation would be interesting/useful. This is not. |
