MODERATORS
Which CA ballot initiative are you talking about stops the police from doing their work?
Proposition 47.
Are you mixed up? Prop 47 reduces jail time for nonviolent and non serious drug and property crimes.
Seems pretty disingenuous to represent that as preventing the police from doing their jobs. Unless you honestly think cops’ job is to maximize the amount of time that drug addicts spend in jail.
It basically decriminalized theft under $950. The cops are not investigating misdemeanor thefts because it's so rampant. And if they do they catch and release because the DAs don't press charges.
That is false.
Cops aren’t investigating misdemeanor thefts for the same reason that they don’t investigate anything that they’re not forced to. They don’t care.
It’s funny that you blame prop 47 for the fact that cops are refusing to enforce prop 47.
