 Reforms protesters demand have already brought disaster in Seattle, other cities

Black Lives Matter activists continue to rage in the streets and ­inside our institutions, demanding police reforms. Many of the strategies they advocate have already been tested in the Pacific Northwest, where I live. They have proved disastrous.

Consider Seattle, where it’s rare for most criminals to see meaningful jail time. City Attorney Pete Holmes, a Democrat, fails to charge on half the criminal referrals he receives, because he doesn’t believe jail works for many offenders. When he does move forward, and a suspect isn’t already in custody (many usually aren’t) he declines charges in 65 percent of the cases.

Even when the suspects do make it to court, prosecutors downgrade charges. Then, instead of sending offenders to jail, judges usually push them into voluntary programs to address the “underlying causes” of their criminal ­activity. The real-world result? The offender doesn’t follow through and ends up recommitting.

Promoting polices that create disasters has never stopped the communists before, they seem to revel in it.

Expect this to continue, and to expand...

That's because leftist/progs base policy decisions on how those policies make them feel.
