Cracking the case of the ‘woke’ prosecutor

By Tom Hogan

January 17, 2022

One of the most puzzling conundrums about “progressive” prosecutors — who favor de-prosecution and de-carceration — is to ascertain their motivations.

What are these elected chief prosecutors thinking when they unilaterally decide not to enforce the law? And why, even as murders increase in the big cities they police, do they continue to support these policies without shame?

Let’s consider the options:

ARE THEY RACISTS? One of the big arguments from the left today is that “disparate impact” is in and of itself an indication of racism. If fewer African American children are graduating high school, for instance, the system must be racist.

Consider Philly
Well, in Philadelphia, homicides have exploded from a low of 248 murders in 2014 to 562 killings in 2020, a new all-time record. The victims of this violence are almost entirely people of color living in the poorest sections of the city. In 2020, more than 85% of the homicide victims in Philadelphia were black. Progressive prosecutor Larry Krasner is overseeing policies and programs that are corresponding with the deaths of hundreds of people of color every year, from children to young men to the elderly. All evidence suggests Krasner does not care, or he would change his policies.

Tom Hogan wonders:

Comrade Hogan, stop being coy.

These prosecutors were put into place by The Party to promulgate policies that serve The Party's goals.

They are doing "their jobs".
Quite well.
