That might have been a workable excuse in 2020, but in 2024 it's not. The "defund the police" and the "criminals are the real victims" movements are the cause of our current problems. Some people just need to be locked up.
And a lot of people don't deserve to be, but we have a Prison-Industrial complex that needs bodies.
Mass incarceration - more than any country in the world including Communist China - hasn't lowered our crime rates. We are FAR above other countries that don't lock up all that many people.
And the next biggest is domestic violence.Most gun "crimes" are suicides.
