Reform...

 


In late May and early June 2020, looters smashed storefronts in the Bronx and Manhattan boroughs of New York City.

Many were caught on tape, some with their faces visible. Others even posted their own videos of their actions those nights on social media. Hundreds were arrested.

Since then, the NYPD says the Bronx district attorney and the courts have dismissed most of those cases — 73 in all. Eighteen cases remain open and there have been 19 convictions for mostly lesser counts like trespassing counts which carry no jail time.

 Llocal business leaders are upset as looters are not being held accountable for the destruction they caused. Until next time.

 Many are asking is this the "Criminal Justice Reform." we are promised?

  Just a thought.
