Racial Discrimination as Public Policy

I posted a while back about Hennepin Co. (Minnesota) issuing guidance to prosecutors to consider the race of the accused in bail setting.  This is grossly and obviously wrong that only Democrats and 1950s Southerners (but I repeat myself) could imagine this was either lawful or appropriate. 

5/5/25 Department of Justice press release:

"Today, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division announced an investigation into the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, led by County Attorney Mary Moriarty, to determine whether the Office is depriving its residents of their federal rights to be free from race-based prosecutorial decision making. According to public reporting, the Hennepin County Attorney recently adopted a policy requiring her prosecutors to consider “racial identity” during prosecutorial decision making, including when negotiating plea agreements that influence the burdens that criminal defendants face, and the benefits that they receive, in criminal prosecutions. The investigation announced today will involve a comprehensive review of all relevant Hennepin County Attorney’s Offices policies and practices that may involve illegal consideration of race."

Notice "may."  Like the sky may be blue. 

When will the left ever figure put that supporting racism is a non-starter with pretty much anyone outside the academy?  Again, they are taking the 20% against Trump's 80%.
