Society Unbalanced by Compassion for Criminals

The editors of the Washington Examiner explain that the Soros prosecutors calling for “balance” in dealing with criminals are, in fact, unbalancing society for everyone else. The editors write:

On Oct. 30, the Washington Post editorial board used the story of two Capitol Hill carjackings four weeks earlier, one involving Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), to urge major modification of Washington’s “no chase” policy that restricts police pursuits. Although a device in the Honda SUV owned by carjacking victim Stephanie Traub allowed the car’s exact location to be tracked, police merely watched the car’s progress on a laptop computer but said they were not allowed to intercept it.

Even in calling for police chases to be allowed again, though, the Washington Post still said there was a need to “find the right balance between empowering officers and ensuring guardrails prevent the overuse of force.” That’s nonsense. Lawmakers, police, prosecutors, and judges should stop hand-wringing about “balance” and spend their energies deterring, interdicting, and punishing criminals. That, not “social justice,” is their job. The failure to punish crime is unbalancing our society and culture.

Action Line: Americans living in jurisdictions where politicians and law enforcement leaders are more concerned with the welfare of criminals than they are with the innocent residents and the police protecting them should look for a better America today.
