Says the two month old account. People can have opposing viewpoints. I’m all for progressivism regarding how we treat criminals, the prison should focus on helping people instead of punishing them, teaching them real job skills and giving them mental health treatment. but people who commit crimes need to go to prison and the profoundly mentally ill need to be in humane treatment facilities.

I do t think this has anything to do with police force cuts. All of the accused murderers and victims are from the same demographic. Newspapers have reported that their communities are working to address the issues that led to the violence to prevent it from happening again.

I would say that releasing drug dealers is going to result in more people using drugs and committing crimes to support their habit. Releasing people arrested for violent acts ensures we’ll see more violence.
