Part 2/8:
Reflecting on a catastrophic car crash involving a violent criminal, critics point to alarming policies that prevent law enforcement from effectively carrying out their duties. A recent comment by Newsom reveals this concerning reality: despite flags of reckless behavior—such as drunk driving or running red lights—local police in places like Oakland are handcuffed by policies that prevent pursuing suspects unless they are known to have committed violent crimes. This contributes to a perception that the state’s laws are essentially unenforceable, creating an environment where dangerous individuals operate with little fear of repercussions.
