How do we reduce crime?

If your answer to that question is: by not charging crimes and thereby depicting cratering prosecution statistics as “crime reduction,” congratulations. You, too, can become one of the nation’s high-profile, big city “progressive prosecutors,” with all the media adulation and George Soros-backed funding streams that implies. No legal experience? No problem. All that stuff about mastering the law, applying it to facts? A quaint relic of the prehistoric 1990s. The aim of the “progressive prosecutor project” is to leave the laws unenforced. You’re policing a racialized, cultural Marxist narrative, not the streets.
