The left has pushed to trash the Constitution for decades, and now the right (Patriot Act, NDAA...etc.) is joining in. It won't be long before personal rights are history.
Which Attorney General leaned on the local courts to let the banksters slide?
Pretty much none of them. Holder and Obama at Timmy Geithner's urging refused to prosecute.

Maybe the better solution would be for African Americans to stop breaking the law.
As alluded to a few posts earlier, I'm not a fan of vast generalizations that really says nothing.

Maybe African American lawbreakers could simply pay their ****ing fines, pick-up trash or do whatever else the court ordered them to do instead of pissing and moaning about "disparate impact" that their willful refusal to obey the law created.
Or maybe they need higher placed friends that will simply commute their sentences like Scooter had?
"As New York moves to decriminalize low-level offenses, arguing enforcement is “rigged against communities of color,” other large cities are coming under pressure from the Justice Department to do the same thing.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch has issued a warning to municipal and state judges across the country that their courts could lose federal funding if they don’t ease up on fines and arrest warrants for minor crimes involving poor offenders, indigent minorities in particular."
"Rigged against communities of color"? How difficult is it to just not break the law? WTF?

Apparently Justice lost her blindfold in super storm Sandy and LL told her, don't worry, I'll do a good job, I really don't need or want that dusty old blinfold.
If LL wants change, then the law needs to be changed! Subjective enforcement of law is anarchy toppped with the worst form of prejudice that our society abhors.
The DOJ under obama has collapsed under the weight of bias and mistrust.
I read this a few hours ago and it really rustled me. But you know what? It's not my neighborhood this is going to turn into an even bigger hell hole than it already is. I feel bad for the good people in these communities whose lives are being made worse by political pandering.
And people wonder why there is white flight. NYC had about a 1-yr head start on this thinking and the city has turned into an absolute hole. Just google 'NYC slashings 2016'

If she would just come out and say stop arresting and fining/jailing people for cannabis possession and giving them a criminal record than I would support her.
One would think that right-wing libertarians and sovereign citizens....
The first thing they are going to focus on is the fact funding is being used to manipulate local policy and rightfully use it as argument for smaller government.

How about for selling a few loose cigarette's on the street corner?
