This Should Go Well: Philadelphia Police to Stop Arresting Criminals Over Coronavirus Concerns

The Philadelphia Police Department will be delaying arrests for an array of crimes including narcotics offenses, thefts, burglary, vandalism, prostitution, stolen cars, and economic crimes over coronavirus concerns.

The city will also be releasing criminals from jail in an effort to continue “social distancing.”

A leaked internal memo said that “if an officer believes that releasing the offender would pose a threat to public safety, the officer will notify a supervisor,” who would ultimately make the decision about whether the suspect should be detained.

The Fraternal Order of Police has supported the decision to stop arrests in the crime-ridden city and noted that violent offenders will still be arrested.

“The directive was released to keep officers safe during this public-health crisis,” FOP Lodge 5 president, John McNesby, said in a statement obtained by the Philadelphia Inquirer. “Meanwhile, violent offenders will be arrested and processed with the guidance of a police supervisor.”

According to neighborhoodscout.com, your chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Philadelphia was one in 25, before arrests were even halted.

Under the new guidelines, officers from various plain-clothes specialized units will be temporarily reassigned to uniform patrol duties and the “Live Stop” vehicle impoundment program will be suspended until further notice.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff has also began releasing prisoners and is asking officers to cite and release offenders when possible to protect inmates from the coronavirus.

“Our population within the jail is a vulnerable population just by virtue of who they are and where they’re located,” Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Monday at a news conference, according to NBC News. “So, we’re protecting that population from potential exposure.”

Fmr Fed Prosecutor Floats Insane Theory Trump May Have “Criminal Exposure” For ‘Negligent Homicide or Voluntary/Involuntary Manslaughter’ Over Coronavirus Response

NBC legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner floated an insane legal theory on Tuesday and suggested Trump may have “criminal exposure” for ‘negligent homicide’ over his Coronavirus response.

Kirschner posted a tweetstorm asserting President Trump may be liable for the deaths caused by the Coronavirus.

So Barack Obama is also liable for the 60 million Americans who got Swine Flu in 2009 and the additional 12,000+ Americans who died?

Hey All. Can we talk about 1 of the few topics I may actually know too much about: homicide? Specifically, whether Donald Trump may have criminal exposure for some level of negligent homicide or voluntary/involuntary manslaughter for the way he’s mishandled the Coronavirus crisis

liability in an attempt to appropriately and ethically hold accountable those who were responsible for taking the life of a fellow human being. I think it’s fair to observe that there’s nothing more devestating to a family then losing a loved one to ether violent crime or to …

Kirschner then uses the deaths of Americans citizens to bring up potential campaign finance crimes committed by Trump.

homicide liability. This is not an easy question. Further, whereas the evidence is clear that Trump has committed multiple criminal offenses both before his tenure as president (campaign finance crimes) & during his time as president (obstruction of justice, bribery/extortion)…

“But the homicide liability MUST be addressed because ALL criminal charges will have to be investigated and, if the evidence dictates it, prosecuted come Jan. 2021. Stay tuned,” Kirschner said in closing.

This guy was a federal prosecutor for 22 years. How much more proof do we need that the feds are power-hungry psychopaths?

President Trump in January took action and barred non-US citizens who recently visited China from entering the US.

Furthermore, the Trump Admin announced it would quarantine any Americans who had visited China’s Hubei province, where the virus originally came from.

Last Wednesday evening President Trump announced a 30 day ban on flights from Europe.
