But for Democrats, protecting New Yorkers from violent attack is not the goal of law enforcement. The main objective of the criminal justice system is to ensure that it does not "worsen racial disparities," as explained by The New York Times' Mara Gay.

Ann Coulter "Last week in New York City, career criminal Argenis Rivera punched a woman who was pushing her 2-year-old in a stroller, then began choking her, screaming that she was a "white bitch." He let go only to attack another woman sitting on a bench, reading -- apparently, also a "white bitch" -- until he was scared off by a man with two dogs who came to the women's rescue.
"This happened at around 1 p.m. in Hudson River Park, a nice area.
"A few months earlier, Rivera had been arrested for punching a doorman in midtown Manhattan, the latest of about a dozen arrests. "But under the law, he was immediately released.
"In February, Frank Abrokwa, 37, was arrested for the 45th time. (Thanks, U.S. immigration officials! Another job well done.) Among Abrokwa's most recent arrests:
-- On Jan. 7, he was arrested for hitting a 30-year-old man, a complete stranger, on a subway platform. Released without bail.
-- On Feb. 5, he was arrested for punching a 53-year-old man, also a stranger, at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Released without bail.
-- On Feb. 21, he was arrested for smashing his own feces into a woman's face as she sat in a subway station. Released without bail.
-- On Feb. 22 -- the very next day! -- he was arrested for shoplifting at a hardware store and threatening employees with a screwdriver. Released without bail.
"All in all, New York's no-bail law is working great! The law is called "no bail" but really means "no jail, not ever, no matter how many times you're arrested."
"How did such a dangerous policy become law? It seems that in 2020, Democrats finally gained total control of state government, the first time that's happened since World War II, except for a single year in 1964.
"And what was the first item on the Democrats' agenda, literally the moment after they were sworn in? Crack down on Wall Street? Fill potholes and creaking bridges?
"NO! They passed a law to ensure that no criminal ever spends a night in jail!". . .
"If that's what you like, watch sports. But if you don't want criminals controlling the streets, destroying neighborhoods and committing violent crimes in parks and subway stations, please vote Republican on Nov. 8." A.C.
