According to the listed statistics, about 1/3 of these people could've and should've been off the streets before being caught in this operation.
This story put out by the joint task force is meant to be a showcase of how well are police are doing, instead, it's a showcase of how poorly our judicial system is doing.
The problem isn't with our law enforcement, it's the judicial system from the AG on down.
