#2 Champ refers to cops as "stupid." Comey claims they are "fearful." Little wonder the bureau has failed to bring formal charges against ANYONE in connection with the State Department email scandal.

#4 Violent crime -- including homicides -- have increased dramatically in many large cities, Comey said, pointing to Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Washington and Baltimore by name

#5 Perhaps the USA is heading towards the New Mexico ~~non~~ system.
Albuquerque officials: Road rage killing shows broken system
The man charged in the freeway killing of a 4-year-old girl in New Mexico had been previously arrested on aggravated battery, domestic violence and a violent incident involving a gun. He had never been prosecuted on these previous arrests.

Now, authorities are citing his history and that of a convicted felon accused of shooting and critically wounding an Albuquerque police officer this week as examples of a criminal justice system they say is broken, underfunded and can leave law enforcement and the public more vulnerable to violence.
I've lived in NM. The whole state is dysfunctional in a peculiar way. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, a Democratic state representative from Bernalillo said "You cannot solve this problem by locking up the population."

#6 ...the DA up in Albuquerque is well known to avoid pressing hard charges on perps. The office's usual SOP appears to be play procedural games for two years and then extract a plea bargain at significantly reduced charges.

The whole state is dysfunctional in a peculiar way.

Yes, if you're going to kill someone, use your car and then chug some alcohol before the cops arrive. You'll do about 7 years for DUI homicide rather than 20 for premeditation.
