prosecutorial discretion is the reason why we need mandatory sentencing guidelines put out by the state so that judges cant run backroom deals for white dudes and let them out and put a bunch of black guys in prison for longer.

It's actually a problem. I'd rather more public outcry, and more juries nullifying outcomes for grannies getting sent to prison for 10 years for not putting their handicap sign in the window or whatever inane bullshit there is instead of the totally fake system we have now.
> our criminal justice system would be paralyzed by resources being spread even thinner than now.
Good. If the government can't prove guilt in a timely fashion, the innocent should not have to put up with it.

What we have is not working, our jail rates are very high, we have tough on crime, a police state that outranks most militaries worldwide in terms of weapons, personnel, budgets etc.
However, I don't think it's the place of the DA, who's job is to prosecute the laws on the books to be doing it with discretion.
Frankly I think there needs to be a whole lot less discretion.
Court cases now are like going into a used car dealership. Sticker price (proscribed punishments) have nothing to do with final results. Nobody goes to trial. Nobody finishes with the charges they started with. It's all behind the scenes dealing and juggling.

generally don't care, especially if you're local. In PA you need to be a citizen to be a Principal in PA I believe. Absurd requirement for someone who's probably already been a teacher for 20 years.
But for Congress? Who's directly responsible for declaring war on other nations? Yeah... I probably care more. I also care more if it was canada versus turkey

Reply to Washington St 1 pro, many cons by gumburculeez
Yeah. It sucks. It reeks of too much. Would have been better the old way just paved. There's too much traffic that flows through, it's a major thoroughfare. Snyder already suffers heavily from this. Now I drive on side streets. How is that better? 11AM on a monday and the road is totally backed up to the next light, every light. I was told this would not impact traffic. They lied

The problem is not there's an uphill battle, it's that we have generals who are to cowardly to even fight the battles. I think Rebecca should come out guns blazing.

Domb was my top choice, given Rebecca remained in her position. they'd be a powerhouse together. Imagine Rebecca in her role and Domb as mayor.
but given this, I'd have to say Rebecca.

A common mistake, but the actual caselaw refers to "The Floor Is Lava", not Jailbreak. As long as the defendant kept his feet on the pole and off the ground, he's legally untouchable.

one thing I miss about working in the office was getting packages delivered to my office. Downtown, so we seemed to be on a very efficient route, delivered to a business, so the front desk would hold packages and notify us. It was great.

well if he even did 12-14 hours a week he'd be working more than our current mayor

stop shifting the blame. We don't elect the PPD. We elect our leaders like Jimmy ratfuck Kenney. It's his job to ensure every department is running well. Our city signs off on negotiations with the police unions, our city pays them, our city... fuck it, WE PAY THEM. End of discussion.

maybe man. all I know is that white women commit the same crime as black men and walk with less sentences. I know that prosecutors hold really high number of years over peoples heads to avoid going to trial. They endlessly delay delay delay and keep people who haven't been proven guilty or ever seen a jury locked in jail for years sometimes.
I bitched a LOT about the police department, but the more I realize how interconnected and fucked up the police, judges, DAs are all in on it. even public defenders telling you to cop a plea for something you didn't do. They're all in on it in some fashion or another. All playing a role in how fucking incredibly insane the situation is.
