As usual, another excellent presentation of law enforcement views by Richard Valdemar. The man is a gold mine of information and insight on the subject of our criminal "justice" system. As a retired homicide prosecutor, I have no disagreement with Valdemar on any of his views presented in these six programs.

This is precisely why we need "Reform First". The nonviolent offenders should be identified upfront by the District Attorneys filing the cases. There should be a risk assessment performed on every criminal that moves through the court system. Those deemed low risk should be kept out of jail and prison so that there is room for the violent offenders. Steve Ipsen for Los Angeles District Attorney! He is the only one with real solutions to fix this problem. These criminals have to be looked at more closely from the beginning. When the nonviolent are mixed with the violent that have plea bargained their case down, they get out at the same reduced sentences and that is the problem.

Why would we back off on pursuit of stopping gang crime? Because did you forget? One of those gang members is the mayor of Los Angeles.
AND, he belongs to the same political party as the "Governor."
