On Tuesday night, Justin Flores ambushed and murdered two El Monte police officers who responded to a report of a stabbing at a motel, then was shot and killed by reinforcements when running into the parking lot. Flores was out on probation after being given a sweetheart deal by DA Gascon just after he came to office, charges dropped and instead of the mandatory three year sentence for a felon in possession of a firearm he was previously facing, he was let out after just 20 days. But besides the revolving door criminal justice system being implemented by progressives, this case tests out a new policy by Gascons office: The obligatory taxpayer funding for the funerals of anyone "killed by police officers", regardless of the state of the investigation

Policy
...
2. BVS will also contact the families of individuals killed by police and provide support
services including funeral, burial and mental health services immediately following the
death regardless of the state of the investigation or charging decision.


Ricardo Santiago, spokesman for DA Gascon's office, put out a statement saying the policy will not apply in this case. Even though it clearly applies in this case by every interpretation of the policy, meaning they're selectively revoking it for pure optics with no legal justification
So on one hand, we've got the DA's own policy directly stating that the family of Justin Flores is entitled to a taxpayer funded funeral, burial and mental health services. Then we've got the DA's statement saying he'll refuse to carry out his own policies.

Seeing as the dude was on the loose due to actions by the DA, the DA should be on the hook, especially in light of the DA's policy.

I blame I.C.E. for letting illegal invader murderer in USA.
DA should be brought up on charges also.

Are there any statistics on the percentage of reoffending criminals who were given these light sentences compared to those who did not reoffend? Cases like this do raise questions on the justice system, but how does it look in the bigger picture?

Whenever I hear something like this my blood boils with anger.

Rich, paid, Soros shill takes a bribe for power and status. People die because of it. Infuriating.

I hope the DA recall becomes a national trend. Any sane country would label Soros an international terrorist. Russia did.

To be clear about policy, it exists to serve us, and when it is to our detriment, we aren't beholden to an action because of a particular collection of words written on a paper, because there are more papers, more words, more amending, and if a policy isn't doing what you want, you can change it.

All policy has manifest functions and latent functions and due to this policy has to be flexible. Policy is to make our life better, and when it ceases to, it is time to be abandoned and time for a new policy to be created.

I don't expect people who haven't formally studied policy to know this.

There are always going to be a large portion of Americans who will support he police no matter what they do because they're "back the blue" cucks who have deepthroated the boot and they don't believe injustice exists until it happens to them. Like the guy who is a homophobe until he has a gay daughter or a racist until he has a black grand daughter. To many conservatives with that bovine kind of herd mentality just arranging their entire life on similitude they can't critically think about a thing that hasn't happened to them.

Weird Soros rant. I don't know why you have to inject a bunch of anti-jew stuff into a thread for no reason.

Again, we have a conservative here completely unable to think. Being a conservative at such a young age too, it is like your imagination died in the womb because your mother smoked too much and you didn't get enough air.

District Attorneys have some of the greatest unreviewable discretionary powers in our criminal justice system. Their "policy" is the difference that makes for institutionalized discrimination, the decriminalization of violence, tolerance for blatant corruption, etc. When a DA sets out a stated policy and then handwaves it whenever it becomes politically inconvenient, it just goes to say he's ruling capriciously and arbitrarily as a tyrant rather than bureaucrat, the law little more than his whims. Your "flexibility" is my "unaccountability".

That's where ethics and checks & balances come into play.

Soros brags openly about supporting DA’s to further his social justice agenda. If more people die because it, it’s safe to assume that he’s at least partially responsible.

Not sure what judaism has to do with any of this.

I don't think that a DA should be recalled. The people need to understand that elections have consequences and they must feel ALL of those consequences so they make a better decision next time. Recalls are the equivalent of an abortion in a democracy and are morally repugnant.
