The plan calls for banning cash bail, solitary confinement and civil asset forfeiture, which allows law enforcement officials to seize people’s homes and other property even if they are not convicted of a crime. The plan also looks to legalize marijuana and abolish the death penalty, a practice Sanders has long opposed.
Sanders' proposal promises the attorney general will investigate every time a person is killed in police custody. He would also establish a "Prisoner Bill of Rights," create a “civilian corps of unarmed first responders” to deal with mental health emergencies, and boost funding for public defenders.The proposal comes as Sanders is making a two-day swing through South Carolina, the first state in the nation where African Americans cast a majority of votes in the primary.
"If we stand together, we can eliminate private prisons and detention centers. No more profiteering from locking people up," Sanders is expected to say, according to a copy of his planned remarks. "If we stand together, we can end the disastrous War on Drugs. If we stand together, we can end cash bail. No more keeping people in jail because they’re too poor. If we stand together, we can enact real police department reform and prosecute police brutality.
As usual Biden’s plan is better and has an actual chance of being implemented. Bernie never learns. Perhaps had he had a remotely successful Senate career he’d learn how to draft legislation. But alas....
Bernie has lost it . . Bernie can’t take care of anything “Socialism” really . . Someone who pushes this agenda is going to unveil sweeping plan . . Enter . . Plan B . . “Socialism” is a cure for everything (stuck in the 60’s) I think his plan is called THE TITANIC . . .
CrimsonGash See, it wasn’t so hard to write a straight news piece on Bernie now was it?
Now word on how Der Fuhrer Bernie will get his policies enacted in legislation passed by the House and Senate... so apparently he is just vocalizing his wet dreams for our future communist country. SAD!
Why don't people see this and crucify anyone attempting to destroy the thing everyone's forefathers, an mothers died fighting to build. If you think America is that bad, count the countries, right now, where you'd get a better deal -hint- you'll only need one hand, no fingers tho
I like the ideas but I'm certain the legislation would never pass.
Wow. Wading through the tweets and all of the left's are on top and all of the right's are at the bottom, most are hidden. I guess pointing out this hypocrisy will probably see this tweet righf down there with the others. Look at Honkers & China - This is where America is headed
Bernie2020 ✊
This area of life is LONG OVER DUE AMERICA
DOA
Sounds good but I doubt he would actually be able to follow through on any of that. Old mfer just shootin his shot to get votes 😄
A for-profit health system will keep people sick and dependent and will let the poor die. A for-profit prison system will imprison people and keep them in jail. It really isn't too complicated.
Oh.
Basically the Nazi plan.. Just dressed up with rainbow colored bows. Seriously people where do you think this is all headed. The left are reliving history w/o even realizing it.
DOA.
End the war one drugs. It’s been a complete waste of money.
Why campaigns don’t release all their plans on their 1st day they run for office?
