The politicians allowing this nonsensical bail reform and releasing violent dangerous criminals into the world have BLOOD on their hands.

[@Jlitt-yw2zm]

Tell your foolish friends and family to stop voting for demoncrats….

[@beautifulbutterflyLove]

Yes indeed!

[@johnwhite-yz7dv]

It's interesting how some countries deal with politicians. I don't condone it, but I understand it.

[@wala-nehlabala6419]

It is more complicated than that. This is a very sad situation, but the situation is more complicated then you may be seeing it. -- I think blaming it simply on bail reform is not the problem, however bail reform does need to be looked at because we see a problem. -- First ask why do we have a bail system and what is the purpose. -- The purpose has to do with the value of innocent until proven guilty. Also, there is another issue that many Americans, mostly WHITE (no disrespect meant, but let's just be honest), hate to talk about is how the justice system are more likely to lock up Blacks for the exact same crime and with the exact same history. -- Whites for example who do drugs are more likely led towards treatment and rehabilitation, while Blacks are more often punished. -- Even with violent crimes, put a Black person before the judge and a White person before a judge or a jury for the exact same crime and with the exact same history, the data shows that there is a large bias against Blacks, and I think the bail reform is trying to address that problem. -- Sometimes it helps because innocent people are giving their time to wait for court, and other times it doesn't. Every system has risk, it is about balance. -- If we just locked up everyone and give them no bail that would be an injustice, but if we let everyone go, until court and didn't keep anyone, that would also lead to problems. It is complicated and human error will happen somewhere. We just need to tweak the system to fine tune the balance. It is very complicated. I'm sure for example if someone falsely accused you of a crime, you would think it an injustice for you to wait in jail as an innocent man. I don't know the answer, but I know it is not as simple as you make it. -- For example I live in an area where the ENTIRE police department has been suspended, the ENTIRE ( apnews.com/article/ridgely-maryland-police-department-suspended-3b5f624b8257081d91b46d125acf8f65 ) , now do you think that they likely falsely arrested many people? Probably so. Such an environment which we live in is the reason why people push for more bail reform, to counteract the corruption and racism in the system. It is complicated.

[@mercedesfernandez6031]

​@@wala-nehlabala6419An individual with 23 previous arrests has no business being on the streets. Either he/she suffers from deep mental issues that need to be treated before the person is back in the street or the individual is just a sociopath that doesn't care about killing or hurting someone else...in which case, he/she belongs to a place where they cannot hurt others (I guess that place is jail or a cage above an active volcano). The current outcry about the bail reform is because most of the people that have been perpetrating crimes in NYC have a common denominator, can you guess what that is? Rap sheets. So, yes, there are definitely several issues with it. Catch and release is not working. This city is getting worse by the minute due to politicians that rather prostitute the city with their attitude in order to get the votes and approval from certain segments....

[@lamont5050]

It’s very disturbing especially when it could have been prevented “ if the judge and the prosecutors did not let that criminals out “ They had prior gun charges convicted felons . through public records you can find out who the prosecutor and the judge was to let Them know they can’t let criminals go , these criminals repeat the crimes being a judge and the prosecutor they should know that . it’s very similar to the borders being wide-open on purpose They need to change the laws with these criminals Now

[@qret-dv5ym]

He had no business being on the streets. Gun charge and out in less than a year.

[@FredNewsome]

It could have been prevented if he simply told the occupants to keep it moving, not attempt a felony stop, for a non moving traffic violation. Citizens have the right to bear arms, even criminals, the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Treason is a capital offense, and violation of your oath is treason, people have the right to bear arms to protect against government actors more so than to protect against other citizens. Also, police truly have no right to bother any one unless an actual crime has occured where some human has suffered an injury. Illegally parked at a bus stop while still occupying the vehicle is a perfect example of the type of double talk these forked tongue devils get away with, either the car was parked or it was occupied, can't be both. They are liars, and all liars will have their part in the lake that is fire, seems like Karma is coming faster, the law is simple Love God, and Love your neighbor as you love yourself, or do unto others as you would have others do unto you. I doubt dead man Diller would have liked it if he was forced out his car by armed men for simply stopping at or near a bus stop.
