NYC mayor doesn't control the judicial system which is what he has been lamenting about. Cops can only arrest someone so many times but if they keep getting out due to no bail reform, it's pointless. One guy was arrested over 80 times since the bail reform was passed. Only the governor can pressure the legislators to fix that.

But bail reform is irrelevant. If they’re guilty of the crime and the punishment is jail time, then they should be convicted and go to jail.

If they’re eligible for bail, the legal system already allowed them to be free again after being arrested. Maybe you guys should be fighting for increased punishment or less accused crime types being eligible for bail?

Although it’s crazy that the party that is supposedly so concerned with government overstep and strict interpretation of the constitution also wants to make it as easy as possible to lockup people without a trial.
