U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain issued a sternly worded statement Monday contending that Friday’s fatal shooting of Cpl. James O’Connor IV in Frankford “was the direct result of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s pro-violent-defendant policies.”[More]I don't get it. Krasner blames the NRA for Philly "gun violence"-- what more do they want?
Anyway, Chuck assured us this wouldn't happen.

"On Jan. 29, 2019, Elliott was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine, McSwain said. “This arrest was in direct violation of Elliott’s parole, but the District Attorney’s Office did not pursue a detainer against him or make any attempt to have Elliott taken into custody for this serious violation,” McSwain said. “The office allowed Elliott to be released on his own recognizance — no bail was set.” McSwain called that “stunning.”

Isn’t this “no bail” thing a shiny, new “progressive” plank in the national Democratic platform?
