Cop-killing could have been avoided if not for Philadelphia's liberal district attorney (Krasner, backed by Soros)
Washington Examiner ^ | March 17, 2020 | James Gagliano

Just last June, Philadelphia magazine published a blistering condemnation of what it referred to as Krasner’s failed “social experiment.” In a piece titled "The disastrous consequences of DA Larry Krasner’s ‘reforms,’" James D. Schultz assiduously chronicled Krasner’s favored liberal policies and the disastrous effects they were wreaking on public safety in Philadelphia. Schultz points out how gun-related crimes in Krasner’s district spiked and the city’s police force became demoralized by the attorney’s catch-and-release tactics.

Krasner’s preferred method for gun arrests is a foolhardy and dangerous court diversionary program known as Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition. Even first-year criminal justice undergraduates comprehend the correlation between felons in possession of firearms and violent crime. But liberal enablers believe law enforcement is the problem, not the solution.

Feel that I’m engaging in reckless hyperbole? On Monday, the cop-bashing Legal Aid Society in New York City tweeted a call for “an immediate moratorium on NYPD arrests” to coincide with a “release of New Yorkers held on parole violations and others in pretrial detention.” Why?

According to the Legal Aid Society: “We are in the midst of a pandemic and our last priority should be to cycle New Yorkers through our broken criminal justice system, separated from their families, communities, and quality services.”

No, this wasn’t from a parody account.

As breathtakingly insane as that liberal dream may appear, Krasner’s vision aligns with those who misguidedly view America’s incarceration problem not as a product of individual criminality and our affirmed reliance on the rule of law but rather as a fundamental fault within a system designed to incapacitate offenders and deter future crimes.

But on Monday, it was William M. McSwain, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, who issued the rarest and most unprecedented of written rebukes against a sitting district attorney.

When Let Em loose Larry took over the DAs office he fired a lot of the veteran ADAs and replaced them the SJW fresh out of law school. Some who did not even pass the Bar exam yet.

It’s always sunny in Philadelphia, especially for the criminal element.

And then today comes the declaration out of philly that they are legalizing looting, burglary, and destruction of private property. They are deliberately lighting a fuse in the inner cities and fueling chaos. just one more part of the plan
