Oakland DA Pamela Price faces backlash and possible recall for soft-on-crime approach

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is facing severe backlash and a possible recall from residents who think she is inept in prosecuting violent crime cases. The California judge joins a handful of district attorneys across the United States who have been blasted for their soft-on-crime approach.

Price succeeded former District Attorney Nancy O'Malley. She won the election in 2022 by promising to eliminate systemic racism in the criminal justice system. However, the community is now calling for a recall, believing Price is too lenient on criminals, particularly accused murderers, and will not take the proper steps to address violent crime.

She is the latest progressive prosecutor to be under the microscope for her stance on crime, joining the list of several district attorneys and city leaders across several Democratic-controlled cities facing scrutiny for rising crime rates. Those facing scrutiny include former San Francisco District Attorney Chese Boudin and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Maybe she should pay more attention to systemic crime.  When my ship was home ported in Alameda back in the early 70s, Oakland was a thug's paradise and I see the democrats have managed to make it worse.

I keep hearing politicians Black and White (mostly Black) claiming that theft, outright theft and thuggery, is a form of 'redistribution' from rich corporations and rich people to the poor. I just shake my head. They 'deserve' to rob you, because you made them poor.

This kind of thinking is not how civilization is founded and built. There have always been poor people since the beginning of time in every country ever. You cannot 'fix' poor people by making it legal for them to become barbarian thieves preying on the talented, the intelligent, and the successful.

But nevermind. Democrats do not care. They just love the chaos they cooking up.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

How about instead of voting for these people, recalling them, and the voting for much worse, the people in these communities stop voting for these people to start with??

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Well it's Oakland so maybe the people who voted for her are the ones who benefit from her promise to " eliminate systemic racism in the criminal justice system' means they can commit crimes with no real penalty.
