Ingham County Prosecutor Carol Siemon said, when she was elected in 2016, one of her main goals was to reduce systemic racial bias and racial disparities from law enforcement, but not everyone supports the policies she’s put in place to do that.

“I was raised here in Lansing, in a diverse community,” Siemon said. “I’ve always had an interest in civil rights, all aspects of civil rights. As a woman, I’ve been a feminist all my life. LGBTQ Rights, racial disproportionality, immigrants rights. So, when I was elected as prosecutor, my goal was to try and create a more criminal and equitable legal system.”


quote:

Last week, she said she was changing the way her office deals with the felony firearm charge.


quote:

Siemon said she’s only going to charge people for their actual behavior while committing a crime, not for a weapon that wasn’t used in the crime.

In 2020, the prosecutor’s office received 205 felony firearm charges, and a significant number of those suspects were Black.

“In Michigan, about 80 percent of people who are incarcerated on a felony firearm charge are Black, even though our statewide population for that race is only 14 percent,” Siemon said. “

You see it’s not the individual committing the crime that’s the problem, it’s all of you racist arse mother fricking law abiding citizens.

Ingham County Prosecuting Attorney Carol Siemon is apologizing to the families of murder victims after announcing plans to possibly commute the sentences of some prisoners serving life in prison without parole, as detailed in last week’s cover story in City Pulse.

If that happens, her office will be bankrupted (and so will she).

So is she attempting to claim that the 14% is not really committing 80% of the weapons crimes, but instead are charged at rate more than 5x they should be because of racism?

Or is it more likely that the 14% do commit 80% of the weapons crimes?

I think I’ll go watch some reruns from last summer to try and make sense of this mystery.

We could use a little Muslim sharia or some Old Testament Judaism.

How in the hell can she commute murder sentences? That is not in her purview as a prosecutor. She can make recommendations. That's it.

Blood is on the hands of this bitch, and she’s convinced she’s doing the right thing.

Now that’s some true bred evil

And the only possible explanation is racism in this democrat area.

Progressives operate on the astoundingly false premise that all races are alike, therefore, they commit various crimes at the same rate.
