If you open a restaurant in New York City, you can be arrested. Should you sit in a restaurant and eat a burger, you can be arrested. But if you’re homeless or a so-called petty criminal, you can roam freely during the coronavirus scare in Philadelphia. If you’re arrested for a so-called petty crime, you don’t go to jail in Philly.
Philadelphia will release all “non-violent” accused criminals immediately after their arrest to avoid “overcrowding” in city jails. That means burglars, car thieves, looters, frauds, and vandals will walk free.
A leaked internal memo said that “if an officer believes that releasing the offender would pose a threat to public safety, the officer will notify a supervisor,” who would ultimately make the decision about whether the suspect should be detained.
The Fraternal Order of Police has supported the decision to stop arrests in the crime-ridden city and noted that violent offenders will still be arrested.
“The directive was released to keep officers safe during this public-health crisis,” FOP Lodge 5 president, John McNesby, said in a statement obtained by the Philadelphia Inquirer. “Meanwhile, violent offenders will be arrested and processed with the guidance of a police supervisor.”
New York City is doing the same thing in Brooklyn.

When the ACLU isn’t furthering Marxism and open borders, they’re calling for the release of criminals.

So let out potentially infected people so that they can infect others? That is brilliant. It belongs on a beer commercial.
Maybe the ACLU could stick to reading well worn copies of Das Kapital and praying to their sobama shrine and let the adults get us through these trying times.
And Philly voters will elect the same bunch of leftist misfits next election.
If the ACLU is concerned about the risks due to overcrowding in the prisons, suppose we just put everyone in solitary confinement. Too bad that communist outfit isn’t concerned about the risks to the law-abiding public from criminals being released onto society. Of course, that’s exactly what Soros is aiming at: the overthrow of public order.
Sad but true !!!
When the idiots come to power society toes to the dogs
“goes”?…but maybe toes is appropriate…like “jam”…
Giving us chaos and disarming us at the same time,
