The top federal prosecutor in Philadelphia lashed out at his local counterpart in an extraordinary statement, blaming DA Larry Krasner, and the progressive criminal justice efforts he has pushed, for precipitating a standoff between police and a shooter
US Attorney William M. McSwain, President Donald Trump's pick to lead federal-level cases in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, said Krasner used"vile rhetoric" toward police and promoted"lawlessness" through his policies that have shifted local prosecutions away from minor crimes like marijuana possession and have shown leniency in charging certain homicides.
""There is another development that is demoralizing to law enforcement and dangerous to public safety: that is the emergence in some of our large cities of district attorneys that style themselves as 'social justice' reformers, who spend their time undercutting the police, letting criminals off the hook and refusing to enforce the law," Barr said.
