Every Democrat Black female politician is losing horribly.

These are no excuses, do your job. PERIOD

[seanrhone]

Gee, 2/3rds of all cases, wonder who backed the DA?

[vanbilly]

Humans need to separate themselves from aspiring rappers and urban youths permanently.

[sometimesfriendly]

It's amazing to hear this kind of talk after what was offered in 2020.

[dwarlord]

Sounds as if martial law needs to be declared until the district attorney can enforce law and order.

[Joe-pchs]

They're too busy buiding cases to prosecute people that walked into the capitol building to care.

[HWilhelm]

I'm sure they can get a lot of volunteers to test the drugs they don't need a lab

Except that there is video of cops planting drugs, so drug possession charges should always have reasonable doubt in court.
