This then becomes a voter issue to install someone who will represent the people. Alternatively, protests to hold elected officials accountable to their duties or promises.
I've seen this far too many times. Again, holding elected officials accountable may be the only way.
I don't know if they have recall elections, but we should help them start one, it's the only way they will take on the republican machine. I mean I get their reluctance to be singled out by the national party as an enemy of the people. But they chose to be attorney general, it's not all kicking poor people while the police hold them down. They need to do their jobs, or make way for those that will.
We desperately need reform otherwise, to overcome the united opposition of the establishment when a rare reformer does make it in there, they stop at nothing to try to remove them. Krasner in Philly even had the state government scheming to remove him with an impeachment or something based on demonstrably false connections between cash bail and public safety. Justice is not served by screwing the poor. It's not served by tax farming them with excessive fees and enforcements either, let alone seizing their property in defiance of the 5th amendment in forfeiture.
So it would be a good time for a real reform candidate, hopefully an aggressive one that will treat those ad hominem attacks on reform prosecutors with the scorn it deserves.
