Our country has a death cult obsessed with flooding every corner of our society with guns. You're damn right we're not well.

Until every random idiot and/or teen in America no longer has easy access to guns, nothing will change.

> this country has some serious cultural being-completely-inundated-with-guns issues it needs to figure out

FTFY

They posted 10% or 75,000. You’d think if they had this much money they could pay for a different kids education or something valuable. Not bail for a murderer.

You could try to argue that it’s disproportionate, but saying you have no idea where the anti-police sentiment is coming from is just bad faith. I personally even have cooperated with them before and they were goddamn insufferable.

The police are only as effective when the public work with them. There are a few bad cops but we have gotten to the point in society where we view cops as all bad and all working against us. I really hate that narrative. It’s constantly perpetuated on Reddit. I don’t know why anyone would want the job of being a cop and we expect them to fix the murder rate. There is zero logic in how society views law enforcement

That is seriously one of the stupidest fucking things I have ever heard.

The police can’t fix this. The police can only respond to events. Politicians can’t fix it either. Laws don’t matter in a lawless society. Trust me, that part of Philadelphia and many other areas are lawless. We basically depend on most people to be decent. Laws are fucking meaningless to people who don’t give a fuck.

That's the rub of the situation.

If cash bail reform was in place, the odds that this defendant gets out of pre-trial detention is significantly lower than our current cash bail system where it is just about can you find the money.

gas lol

Our current system is controversial because you end up with situations where pre-trial detention isn't about whether a defendant is a danger to the community or how much of a flight risk they are, but simply did they have money or not.

That's what cash bail reform is about.
