As noted in this prior post, Attorney General William Barr delivered these extended remarks to a police conference last week which included sharply negative comments about progressive prosecutors who, in AG Barr's words, "spend their time undercutting the police, letting criminals off the hook, and refusing to enforce the law." Not surprisingly, lots of folks were put off by AG Barr's comments and here are just a few pieces I have noticed with reactions thereto:
From David D'Amato at The Hill, "Prosecutors are mainly to blame for the criminal justice crisis"
From Mark Gonzalez at the Washington Post, "Reform prosecutors are committed to making society fairer — and safer"
From Maura Ewing at Slate, "The Trump Administration Is Coming for Progressive Prosecutors"
From William Kelly at the Waco Tribune-Herald, "Attorney General Barr flat wrong on reformist prosecutors"
From Zack Budryk at The Hill, "Current and former prosecutors respond to Barr's 'concerning' comments on progressive DAs"
