The 2020 election results energized criminal justice reformers across the U.S. But reformers also saw setbacks, including a blow to the movement to defund local police departments, write aaronlmorrison.

FILE - In this May 30, 2020, file photo, protesters gather in Minneapolis. Almost six months after the death of George Floyd, criminal justice reform advocates are cheering multiple victories in the 2020 election.

Going into Election Day, most Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden, rejected the idea of reducing police budgets to answer for systemic racism in the justice system. Across California, nearly 59% of voters approved Proposition 17, which restores voting rights to formerly incarcerated people who have yet to complete parole.“When our progressive vision was on the ballot, we won,” said Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of BLM and executive director of the BLM Global Network Foundation, who is from Los Angeles.

Seven of the eight district attorney candidates endorsed by the Working Families Party easily won their races, including Monique Worrell, who ran for Orange-Osceola state’s attorney in Florida, and José Garza, who ran for district attorney in Travis County, Texas. Although Savit did not know how many magic mushroom cases were currently being pursued, he said those prosecutions “will go down to zero.”

aaronlmorrison defunding police depts does nothing to assist criminal justice. It simply increases crime and puts law enforcement and citizens at increased risk.

aaronlmorrison Defunding the Police is the stupidest thing. Reforming it for a 21st century makes more sense!

aaronlmorrison Imagine being this stupid.......

aaronlmorrison We still need some policing, just no unfair law enforcement.

aaronlmorrison If by criminal justice reform they mean let criminals loose to continue to victimize law abiding citizens, that’s a non starter

aaronlmorrison They need to stop saying defund. You have to use words that speak to the idiot masses, so they can better understand... and so the other side can’t use it against them. Words matter.

aaronlmorrison Because defunding the police is a stupid idea. Get the terminology correct. Reform.

aaronlmorrison There are no 2020 election results. Just chaos from the remains of our Republic which Democrats have destroyed

aaronlmorrison The lack of imagination and progress in this country is pathetic. We are doomed to repeat history, stay stuck in hatred and continue to getter smaller and smaller in the rear view mirror of the modern world.

aaronlmorrison Daniel 7; 13 In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, (Jesus) coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days (Joe) and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power.

aaronlmorrison Why? The guy in charge didn’t do Jack shit for 47 years & in fact was terrible for blacks.

aaronlmorrison Look, I’m as lib as it gets. We need to stop saying defund the police. It’s a stinker. Say “reform” or “retrain” but don’t say defund.

aaronlmorrison As usual, awful messaging. Should have been reform the police.
