I could have hoped that Texas was immune to some of this insanity, but big cities are big cities everywhere. Study: 56 Percent of Violent Crime Suspects Released in Dallas - Texas Scorecard
And while the headline is bad enough, the subtitle tells even more:
“Bail reform” led to 34 percent of murder suspects arrested in 2021 being released on bail or their own recognizance.
These statistcs come from criminologist Michael Smith of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia is responsible for that study. The statistics published as a part of the study include "about 75 percent of offenders charged with weapons law violations, about two-thirds of those arrested for aggravated assault, and 34 percent of those arrested for murder."
Click thru for more, including info about the soft-on-crime DA, a court suit by the ACLU, and a statement by the Sheriff. Oh, and some backpedaling by the DA once a light was shined on what he was doing to destroy law and order.
This is all happening because the Left has decided (with help from Soros-funded non-prosecuting attorney's, and others) that keeping violent offenders in jail is unfair.
