do i think she s going to close that gap? no. i m cautiously optimistic. but i m cautious. explained for us what this synergy has to be with between police and prosecutors if you are actually going to go after crime and prosecuting people off the streets, when one of your options are, look, we aren t going to prosecute this misdemeanor and back up on other things, if you make the arrest and go to that trouble and you are under stress and pressure, if a prosecutor won t follow through, what does it mean for the forest? it means the community that their public safety is in jeopardy. that gives us a sense of disillusion for the officers that, hey, we ll go do at the job and arrest these people that break the law. but the bottom line is the prosecutors are in charge of charging these criminals, and more often than not, the pacitti attorney and hopefully not the person that s losing in the race
