So all we need to do is find a way to put people in prison!

Win-win!

    See part of why I have so much of a gripe with liberals is this sort of mentality here. California is one of the most solidly blue states in the country. Since you didn’t defend it on the merits, it seems you agree the choice I described in my post was not great, correct? But instead of realizing that it may be possible that rich politicians from your team are not actually on your side, you just defer to nebulous ‘ancient laws’ that apparently make it impossible for helpful choices in, and lets be clear here, a city deciding it’s own budget. Care to point to the federal and/or state laws that just hamstring the benevolent liberals of LA and force them to increase the police budget by 160 million dollars? Laws that apparently can’t be challenged, or circumvented by the liberals in those positions, since they would certainly do so if they could, right??

      Rich politicians are not liberal. They are neoliberal. There is a vast ocean between the two
