Virginia’s New AG Fires Civil Rights Division, Will Start Prosecuting Cases Dropped By ‘Social Justice’ DAs Miyares, who will take over Democratic AG Mark Herring, campaigned on a promise to pursue legislation that would enable state AGs to circumvent “social justice” attorneys who refuse to vigorously prosecute crimes. As Fox News noted in November, “Under current law, the AG’s office can prosecute a case on behalf of a commonwealth’s attorney – Virginia’s version of a district attorney (DA) – so long as the DA requests it.” “George Soros-backed commonwealth’s attorneys are not doing their jobs,” said Miyares in May 2021 comments to the Arlington County Republican Committee.
Well, the dems argued that they wanted to see more brown-black-skinned immigrants hold elected office, and they got that in Virginia in the form of the AG and the Lt. Gov. I guess they are still not happy.
I strongly believe that crimes should be prosecuted. Progressive DAs that refuse to prosecute violent protestors and criminals need to be reigned in. Similarly Progressive DAs who have instituted no cash bail programs need to be sent packing from their offices.
NPR thinks there is.. This month's elections, especially in the aftermath of this summer's protests against racial injustice, were seen as a test for criminal justice reforms. This was especially true for so-called progressive district attorneys. Read the whole article if you think "so-called" is an excepting qualifier.
