@maxkennerly
A lot of people (let's call them "Republicans") think abolishing means abolishing ALL bail and simply letting people go after they're arrested (notice they never think it means "*deny* bail".)

The people working to end Cash Bail need to do a better of job of explaining what exactly that means.

@alienskyler Espechally when doing so is just a against people who can't afford medieval bs like that should not exist:

Either a person is a danger or not, and letting them go should only depend if someone is an obvious danger.

If cops can't make that determination after ID'ing someone then they should not be allowed to arrest or even ID someone against their will at all...

"A superior court judge Tuesday issued a preliminary injunction against Los Angeles County’s practice of requiring cash bail from jailed people who have yet to be arraigned, dealing a major blow to a system long criticized as favoring the wealthy and doing little to make the public safer."

Young men have died in jail waiting for trial for petty crimes (stealing a backpack!) because they couldn’t make bail but Crypto-Bro out on $250M bond, hanging at his parents house while awaiting trial for stealing BILLIONS, even though we know he’s a flight risk.
is inhumane. It doesn’t make the country safer or save taxpayer money. The thing it seems specifically designed to do is screw the poor while protecting the rich.

@Aerik @mekkaokereke 3.3 M to the city of NY is nothing. They don’t care about that obviously. Maybe it will require individuals being held responsible- I don’t know. I do no that attempts to shut Rikers down remain in limbo and reforms never get reformed or better yet ended.

@mekkaokereke everyone needs to see ‘Time: The Kalief Browder story’. It was criminal what was done to that boy and the state of NY should be held culpable. But there are so many others like him.

@JamesGleick

is an abomination and should be abolished. Do some real (and transparent) risk assessment to determine pre-trial release. And track results.
