The MMF fund is to promote the elimination of bail. A 'get out of jail free' card. As far as those arrested who were not violent, what about the Jan 6th protesters who were put in solitary for trespassing? Kamala hasn't promoted bailing them out. BTW that guy in your PIX with the sign is actually racist because he believes that America is racist. He sees Americans by skin color. I feel sorry for his little girl there.

From the MMF link:Minnesota Freedom Fund
Systemic Change to Minnesota’s Criminal Justice System
- Abolish cash bail in Minnesota.
- Advocate for wide-scale decarceration.
- Move for the end of detention based on immigration status, race/ethnicity, and class.
You are the one selectively reading. Funny, there is no explanation of a 'serious offender.' Anyone participating in a riot is a serious offender whether committing crimes or aiding and abetting by being on scene proactively. Also why did Kamala contribute? She is known for slapping folks in jail in her former iteration as CA DA. She never advocated for 'no bail' then. Mostly men I might add. Also why is MFF geared toward people of color? Apparently you can't see that MMF is a smokescreen for treating folks differently according to their skin color and a veiled attempt to decriminalize certain crimes if they fit the 'correct' political definition.

it clearly states

The Minnesota Freedom Fund pays criminal bail and immigration bonds for those who cannot otherwise afford to as we seek to end discriminatory, coercive, and oppressive jailing
clearing stating that they pay bail and immigration bonds for those who cannot
Another clear statement
Goals
- Immediate Relief for Our Communities
- Maximize the number of people we can release from cages through the payment of criminal and immigration bond
You simple state that Abolish cash bail in Minnesota. Yet you do not understand what that means. It is just one aspect of the total picture.
Some people in jail have not been convicted of any crime by a court of law. So any American knows "innocent until proven guilty" is the basis of the legal system.
So you may be guilty or you may be innocent but if you do not have the money to post bail you cannot get out of jail. So if you wait for a trail and you are found not guilty. You as an innocent person has been in jail waiting for the trial and verdict.
Still the main issues the wish to address the use of placing bail as a way to keep people in jail. The prosecution would need to make a clear case that they should be in jail for the most serious offenses. They can make a case to deny bond and the judge will have to agree. So the serious offenders will not even be allowed to post bail
the issue is the presumption of the state that you need to make money an issue to get them to return for the trial. Yet there is no guarantee that even if they post bail that they will show back up for trial .
Harris County, Texas, home to the third-largest jail system in the country, reformed its pretrial system as part of a consent decree to virtually eliminate the use of money bail for misdemeanor charges.
New Jersey passed a suite of criminal justice reforms in 2016 that essentially eliminated cash bail and created a new pretrial services program. Since implementing these reforms in 2017, New Jersey saw a 20 percent reduction in its jail population. In 2017, 95 percent of defendants were released pretrial and 89 percent of them appeared at their trial date.
Still it is the state that must reform the system and make changes in the law. MFF cannot reform the system or make changes in the law. They can only assist by paying the bond and talk about change to the state legislation.

"A Minnesota nonprofit has bailed out defendants from Twin Cities jails charged with murder, violent felonies, and sex crimes, as it seeks to address a system that disproportionately incarcerates Black people and people of color."
"Among those bailed out by the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF) is a suspect who shot at police, a woman accused of killing a friend, and a twice convicted sex offender, according to court records reviewed by the FOX 9 Investigators."
"According to attempted murder charges, Jaleel Stallings shot at members of a SWAT Team during the riots in May. Police recovered a modified pistol that looks like an AK-47. MFF paid $75,000 in cash to get Stallings out of jail."
"Darnika Floyd is charged with second degree murder, for stabbing a friend to death. MFF paid $100,000 cash for her release."
"Christopher Boswell, a twice convicted rapist, is currently charged with kidnapping, assault, and sexual assault in two separate cases. MFF paid $350,00 in cash for his release."

Yeah it's FOX so you probably didn't and won't read it.
You think communist shit-heads like okfine care? To him the guy is a “right winger” so he could care less if he is thrown into a gulag when being completely innocent. These are neo-Bolsheviks we are dealing with, not Americans.
Fox is just a media outlet the same as CNN or MSNBC, or the alphabet networks so you can shove that comment up your ass. Violent criminals don't give a shit, they'll just re-commit crimes and evade law enforcement. BTW If you are so adamant about your stance do you agree the Jan 6 protestors should be let out without bail? Some were held in solitary for trespassing.

Yes indeed, as violent BLM and Antifa types get charges tossed.
Here we have the police state writ large.
They were very scared over the mostly peaceful protest of January 6.
A 73-year-old Purple Heart Vietnam veteran and pastor James Cusick has been arrested at his home in Florida for being at the Capitol on January 6, though he was not involved in any violence or vandalism.
His son Casey, was also arrested in front of his distraught 3-year-old daughter who asked why they were locking her dad’s hands. He is also not accused of any violence or vandalism. Videos of the heartbreaking scene were provided to the Gateway Pundit.The arrests took place on Thursday morning.
...James Cusick was shocked, she said, to find out what the arrest was about. When he was at the Capitol he was friendly with officers, who directed him to a bathroom. His daughter says that they never told him to leave. He began to defend himself, but the agents and sheriffs reminded him that everything he says can be used against him and to wait until he has a lawyer.“I asked him if they would take the handcuffs off of him because I was upset seeing my 73-year-old father in handcuffs. They said no,” Staci said....

There might have been a peaceful protest about something somewhere in America on 1-6, but it was not at the capital. 73 year old grandaddy should not have committed sedition. He has just learned the cost of being deceived by satan.

"Many participants in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots are being held in solitary confinement in Washington, D.C.'s city jail"
"After Jan. 6, Washington, D.C., jail officials decided that all Capitol riot detainees be held in “restrictive housing” as a safety measure for the accused. However, the accused found themselves in solitary confinement 23 hours a day before their trials even started."
Solitary confinement for Jan. 6 riot participants draws criticism from Democratic senators and ACLU

Where was Kamala??? Oh yeah, wrong politics.

I never said that they should be let out WITHOUT bail for serious crimes that can be proven by the police based on their investigation. You may have misunderstood the concept of mass arrest. IF the police cannot proof that the person arrested actually did the crime then they will be released without bail.
The issues of solidary confinement with the capitol rioters is a COVID issue. They have to control the possible spread of COVID in confinement.
Really? Then why weren't the summer rioters put in solitary? Why doesn't Kamala promote a bail fund for the Jan 6th PROTESTERS? This prosecution of Jan 6th PROTESTERS is nothing but a political witch-hunt (one of many) to ensure Trump cannot run in 2024. The establishment Democrats are scared to death. The tried 4 years of a fake Russia investigation, they mounted a fake one-sided impeachment, they went after Trump's associates on fake charges and now, they are going after his CFO for a company car. As your 'hero' Joe Blow would say.....'Come on man!'
I think all trolls (like you) should be prosecuted for trespassing the threads here.
Court for what? Trespassing? You didn't get the joke did you?
