This is how actual criminals get let out of jail incorrectly.
Edit: "This" being overfilling the jails with non-serious criminals and/or non-criminals.
At this point, I'm pretty sure it's intentional.
Yep, it literally happened in New Orleans a few months ago. Everybody blamed the "progressive" sheriff that our governor literally believed had been installed by George Soros.
Somehow there was always a reason not to believe her numbers when she tried to point out she had been begging the city to give her money to make repairs to the jail. Clearly she just wasn't doing her job.
However, pointing out the fact that the governor's state police force had done exactly this, and filled the jails at maximum capacity for arrests following stops for things like window tint, was just absurd and typical "conditioned to fail attitude," from the liberal policy that is responsible for flooding the city with crime, and ignorant liberals refusing to take responsibility.
Our DA is also continuously being publicly blamed and shamed online for not clearing cases off the docket fast enough despite having an agreement with the Republican state AG that she would be handling all of the state police arrests. Coincidentally there currently seems to be a similar campaign against the Memphis DA and other local elected officials on city council.
