"I do think we have a crime problem here in Los Angeles," said Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami. "Many individuals in L.A. County believe George Gascón is soft on crime and believe they're gonna get out early," he said.
While others like Will Mathers, who worked with the group that sponsored Prop 47, legislation that knocked some potential felonies to misdemeanors, points to the police. He claims that in 92% of thefts in California nothing happens. "No one is ever arrested," he said."No one is ever prosecuted. No one is ever convicted. That is outrageous and we should be expecting better from law enforcement."
Although he is a supporter of criminal reforms, including Prop 47, retired judge Eugene Hyman believes some progressive policies have gone too far and have created a"catch and release" culture emboldening criminals. He believes the way to stop the wave of lawlessness is to uphold the law. "One of the problems with this stuff is it's a revolving door and that's because the message out there is it's a misdemeanor, it doesn't matter," he said."Then it becomes a $5 million robbery [and] it matters. But I bet you when they catch these people and they examine their lives, they've been getting away with stuff for a long, long time and then it escalates."Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.
Corrupt govmnt
WHWRA Pretty obvious, lack of patrols and prosecution. Crooks are just playing by the law laws.
Unarmed proprietors
The answers are 1) Criminals and 2) Greed. I know super helpful. But maybe it isn't a deep thinker. Or it is, and there are jewel thieves prepping us for our next lackluster, B List Cast, MOTW.
blm probably did it
Seems like who isn’t to blame would be an easier answer….wait never mind they already blamed victims for wearing fancy watches and being followed home ….back to the drawing board
There is no penalties for committing crimes in California. Crime does pay
Maybe it’s the constantly increasing gap between the haves and the have-nots.
Who breaks into anywhere in Beverly Hills? I get pulled over immediately after crossing Doheny!
Carrying a concealed firearm you know how to use is a MISDEMEANOR in California. Do not fear the law. Criminals don’t, do they? A cite for a CCW violation? Ha! Most cops will not take action against good people with guns protecting others! Kill your assailants. Go home safely.
Accept touchy-feely soft approach law enforcement has failed in “high crime” areas and the thug interdiction models costing millions of dollars are failures. LAPD - NYPD must return to an occupying force out to win every time! Law enforcement today needs a new Daryl Gates!
Business owners and employees of high-risk businesses should not be afraid to defend their property and livelihood with deadly force! Fortify businesses with bullet resistant glass to defeat hammers and axes! Jewelers should be armed and have the fortitude to shoot and kill!
If you are caught suck it up! Recall the days of, “OK Coppers, ya got me?” Now it’s always a fight and people are afraid to do their part by reporting the thugs who control their hood through FEAR and INTIMIDATION! Get caught, take your lumps - serve your time! STOP BLACK CRIME!
The entire system is broke: Weakened laws; Weakened D.A Office; WEAK JUDGES; EXTREMELY WEAKENED PROBATION DEPARTMENT!!!! All thanks to politicians at Sacramento and at the LACountyBOS
NEVER FORGET, police powers permit the use of force and violence; even taking a life to protect society! 100% of “Black victimhood” with the police is related to RESISTING ARREST in some manner. George Floyd would be alive if he hadn’t fought his lawful arrest! Arrogant cops!
No conscience problems when embarrassing their own families. ABSENT Black fathers. Black moms are the heroes who turn-in their own kids and then endure threats from their own family for “snitchin.” If Black moms ran the correctional system there would be NO recidivism!! GO MOMS!
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Lack of parental discipline and even support because theft equals “reparations.” Black “entitlement” to commit crimes without self-consciousness! Watch the mob rush crimes and all the smiles and giggles because they do not fear jail where their friends are!
How hard is this to figure out and work with the most common profile of the criminals committing these acts! No “Racism” involved; just objective facts: •BLACK males (some supporting females) who are exploiting the current media wave of “the untouchable Black victims” and fear!
Take a guess....hmm perhaps it’s the far-left, progressive policies. Being light on crime = more crime. It’s not that hard to figure out.
It’s not hard to figure out. No penalties = more crime.
The answer is to make the law tougher, is that simple 😤
The communities with the least amount of crime have the most resources and opportunities available not the most cops.
PROP 47 & GASCON
Lack of morals, lack of god. The decline of attendance in church has gotten us where we are today.
Chief Michael Moore is responsible. He needs to stop being a puppet for Garcetti and company. But that’s why and how he keeps his job. The pitfall of having an appointed LAPD Chief, they just bow to the politicians who put them in office.
Gee
it’s them brothas & sistas mane simple
Nobody's held accountable for their actions from the top down. That's the problem.
Funny today’s “smash and grab” looks a like like last summer’s “peaceful protests”….. minus the fires and all….. so, I am a bit confused.
Definitely Gascon Newsom Garcetti to blame, BIG TIME!!!!!
Blame Donald Trump for giving away unnecessary money to people who’s never had a job and then when it dried up those same individuals started stealing and robbing instead of working.
blm
