"I'm aware of the frustration" getting victimized by a repeat offender that you have set free multiple times is not "frustration" it's a dereliction of your duty to uphold the law and protect the public.

No, no, no. It's just bad "optics". The guy he let out on bail for $325 who tried to kidnap a 15 yo. Want me to break out the Ouija board because he's supposed to divine that a felon with a rap sheet a mile long "allegedly" did what he always does again? He couldn't come off as more defensive because he's the problem.

That was a judge? No wonder the city's gone to hell. I thought it was a defense attorney. Thanks for documenting one of the parts of the problem.

Its common to illegally detain children with no bond or due process for those children and families.
