Before New York Attorney General Letita James launched her selective prosecution of former President Trump, the former public defender was advocating for the "Criminal justice reforms" that empowered criminals and terrorized a state.
Progressive prosecutors argue that prosecuting violent junkies or serial thieves is "Punching down" and that they should advocate for change by dropping those cases, which make up much of their workload, and attacking the 'root causes'.
The first part of this argument has gotten plenty of attention as cities and communities fight to oust radical prosecutors because even in an era of soaring crime rates, they refuse to bring criminals to justice.
Progressive prosecutors have been attacked as promoting lawlessness, but more accurately they are promoting a new concept of what the law is.
The American experiment significantly watered down the elements of the legal system that treated the persons and the agendas of the ruling class as uniquely worthy of protection and democratized law enforcement so that it protected the persons and property of each individual citizen instead. Progressive prosecutors, for all that they claim to be making the system fairer, are actually reverting to that earlier two tier system in which the justice system is a means of enacting the agendas of the ruling class rather than protecting the lives and property of individuals.
Prosecutors who believe in social change are dropping the prosecution of criminals whom they consider victims of society while prosecuting opponents of social change for having caused all the social problems with their conservative politics.
Progressive prosecutors are implementing their agenda one freed criminal and one imprisoned conservative at a time.
