On Thursday, a county attorney in Minnesota announced that his office would no longer prosecute “non-public safety traffic stops,” ostensibly to prevent possible clashes between police and violent suspects, according to CNN.
In a statement to CNN, Ramsey County Attorney John Choi claimed, without evidence, that such traffic stops lead to police officers fatally shooting black suspects.
“I’m not going to continue to perpetuate these unjust practices, these police practices, that have really harsh results to our community,” Choi said. “We really need to start thinking about the actual negative impact this has with police and community relationships, and the outright racial disparity is telling by looking at the numbers.” Choi did not cite any actual numbers to back up his claims.
His new policy was made in conjunction with the far-left Vera Institute of Justice, which has been promoting its own “Motion for Justice Initiative” to abolish such practices that they claim disproportionately affects minorities.
