[Breitbart] More than 7-in-10 criminal suspects released from jail without bail go on to be rearrested for allegedly committing more crimes, a new study reveals.
In early 2020, amid the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, the California Judicial Council required counties to enforce an “emergency bail schedule” which effectively released thousands of criminal suspects from jail without having to pay bail under the guise of reducing prison overcrowding.
“This program designated that the bail for select crimes was dramatically reduced, many to zero dollars,” county officials state.
Yolo County, California, in particular, kept the $0 bail policy in place until June 2021 when the county’s Superior Court enacted a new bail schedule.
The Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, in analyzing release and arrest data during the period where the $0 bail policy was enforced, finds that more than 70 percent of those who were released without bail went on to be arrested for additional crimes.
The analysis also compared recidivism rates over an 18-month period, finding that 78 percent of suspects released without bail were found to be rearrested for crimes while only 46 percent of those who paid bail were rearrested.

But why would any sane person apply for a job as a policeman in Seattle? You know that just as soon as the hubbub dies down, they will be at your throat again.

What's the point of having police when the prosecutors and judges just them go? All they want is the optics of the criminals being arrested, then they get let go and so the crime problem doesn't end, they just get the excuse of "But see how many arrests we made?!"

Maybe they can get some Antifa/BLM types to do their policing for them.

Gee, how about a Blue Flu on steroids until the city council apologizes to the men and women in blue? Moreover, if some turd DA keeps releases the miscreants, then get the flu.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Guess the Secret Service had the night off.
President Biden and his wife were dining at a Washington D.C. restaurant when an unidentified left-wing activist from the group Code Pink harassed him about the Ukraine war
'We need to end this war in Ukraine. We need to push through negotiations! Take Cuba off the terrorism list!’ the protester yelled days before Biden made a surprise visit to the country
The United States' military support for Ukraine in their conflict with Russia has faced criticism from both conservatives and progressives in recent months
[HotAir] Perhaps the "weaponization of law enforcement" panel needs an expanded brief. The Department of Defense had already admitted that someone had improperly leaked Jennifer-Ruth Green’s Air Force file, which contained unredacted records of a sexual assault on her during her service, while she ran for the House as a Republican.
That wasn’t the only file that the Democrat oppo-research group got, as it turns out. Now Just the News’ John Solomon reports that two House GOP committee chairs want to know when the criminal prosecutions will begin:
In an unprecedented breach, the Air Force improperly released to a research firm tied to Democrats’ congressional campaign arm the confidential personnel files of eleven members of the military, including one involving a retired lieutenant colonel running for office as a Republican that detailed how she had been sexually assaulted in the Air Force, Congress has been told.
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers and House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer are demanding that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin explain how he will prevent future breaches of military members’ private information while pressing to know if there will be criminal prosecutions. ...
Rogers told Just the News much more needs to be investigated. "It’s abhorrent that a Democrat-aligned firm would do something so despicable as fraudulently obtaining service records. Chairman James Comer and I pressed the Department of Defense for answers on this egregious breach," he said.
Solomon has a copy of the letter that went out last week to Austin. There is no indication that Austin has answered — and perhaps the belated handoff to Solomon indicates that none has yet been received. Rogers and Comer made it clear that they expect to see the DoD take action against the employees involved and against Due Diligence Group, the House Dems’ oppo-research firm. They want answers ASAP on whether any of the other files involved Republicans running for public office:
The Office of the Secretary of the Air Force (OSAF) has informed the Committee that it released 11 individuals’ records over a 14-month period from October 2021-December 2022 to a private research firm which allegedly misrepresented itself in order to obtain access to the personnel records without authorization or consent. This news comes on the heels of a prior admission by the Air Force to having inappropriately released the OMPF of former Republican Congressional candidate Jennifer-Ruth Green to the very same research firm, Due Diligence Group (DDG). 5 That disclosure served to revictimize a servicemember by releasing details about her sexual assault.6 The recent broader release of additional servicemembers’ records highlights not only the inadequacy of procedures to secure military personnel files, but also raises concerning questions of possible illicit motive or political partisanship.
This conduct by the Air Force is, at a minimum, unacceptable. The conduct by the research firm is quite possibly criminal.
It should be criminal, but I have little faith in the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland. Under his leadership, the DoJ tried to treat parents dissenting at school board meetings as a "domestic terrorism" threat, while failing to enforce existing federal law against demonstrations at the homes of Supreme Court justices — even after an assassination attempt targeting Brett Kavanaugh got thwarted by an alert security detail. Can you imagine Garland initiating a criminal probe of a House Dem oppo-research group even if they did break federal law in getting these records? Neither can I.
The best that Rogers and Comer can do is to expose the malfeasance. In that effort, the two have sent a demand list to Austin with a deadline of next Monday. They want to see the names and records of the other ten former service members to match them up to candidate lists for last year, which means they strongly suspect that they’ll match up more than just Green. Rogers and Comer want a full report on any disciplinary actions already given to the DoD employees who participated in this breach, and they particularly want to know whether the Air Force itself has any criminal probe underway.

And here we are many years after 2004 and we don't have John Kerry's military records 'accidentally' released. It always goes one way. That was early evidence of you being ruled by Deep State.

There's now a name attached to the crime. Will the crime be prosecuted? That is the question?

I am not sure the leak came from the Air Force. A flunkie from the Senate Intelligence Committee leaked the FISA warrants to the press and got off with a slap on the wrist, probably because the he leaked the documents under orders from a Senator. The investigation may not lead to but through the Air Force where it will certainly be stonewalled. The most likely information flow involves the DNC leveraging Congressional oversight through a labyrinth of staffers that will be hard to unravel. Any investigation will involve a similar cadre of staffers so the environment is an overcooked gumbo of fetid corruption.

Mayor Adams is stuck in the environment they've created. The only way back to civilization involves the spilling of a lot of blood which they don't want to do. Same goes for the other side which doesn't want to do what is necessary to return to the old constitutional government. It's not going to happen till a lot of blood is spent. Both parties would rather ride to ruin rather than do what is necessary.

If they allow the police and courts to actually arrest, hold, and jail criminals, especially the mentally ill and addicted, the problem would end quickly — criminals recalculate and Black Bloc cadres don’t stick around where there are actual consequences for their actions. There might be targetted actions agains the police, but that’s going on now anyway, and now the police are not allowed to protect themselves.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
