They can't be bothered to prosecute murderers, and felons with firearms. They can, of course prosecute the political enemies of their masters. From The Other McCain - NY Prosecutor: ‘We Know Incarceration Doesn’t Really Solve Any Problems’
As you can see, over the course of two decades, there was a drastic decline in the number of murders in New York City, from a peak of more than 2,000 per year in the early 1990s, to fewer than 500 by 2007. By the time Reiss was appointed to head the Institute for Innovation in Prosecution in 2016, NYC’s murders had decreased to fewer than 350 a year.
From a standpoint of public safety, then, there seemed to be no need for “reform” or “innovation” in New York’s criminal justice system, but once you start such “reform” measures — e.g., eliminating cash bail, and declining to prosecute “low-level offenses,” as Alvin Bragg has done — it’s amazing how quickly criminals discover that there are no real consequences. After 2017, when there were only 272 murders in New York City, the homicide rate increased 67% percent by 2021, when there were 488 murders in the city. “Incarceration doesn’t really solve any problems,” we are told by Meg Reiss. We know this, she says, but if she explained how we know it, I must have missed the explanation.
