This is bad news for Black American DOS in California. That state just went through a cash bail system reform.
Based on how this new "no cash bail system" is setup, offenders do not post cash bail to bond out of jail. The State has moved towards a risk assessment bail system. Now this means based on how a person is evaluated will determine whether that person will pay nothing and go home or go to jail.
The state of California will bid out contacts to different businesses and agencies and whoever win the contract will decide the fate of the offender.
As mentioned earlier, The new "cashless bail reform" works through a risk evaluation assessment. Offenders are assessed and then rated as low risk, medium risk or high risk.
Offenders with a medium to high risk are considered a flight risk, meaning that person might not show up for court thus, will not be set free. The offenders with medium to high rating will have to sat in jail until their court date.
This new Bill passed by Congress classifies many non violent offenses as violent offenses. Two of the nonviolent offenses are "fleeing and resisting".
I've been in and around law enforcement for decades. Being a former Deputy sheriff I know first hand, officers add bogus charges to arrest reports, tickets, and citations.
consequently if you have a fleeing or resisting arrest charge on your rap sheet you are considered to be a violent offender. Which means you will be in jail awaiting trial.
This new Bill also has devistating implications on all Black American DOS, not just those in California.
Now, what this will turn into is a green light for police officers shoot Black American DOS in the back. this bill reclassified fleeing from NONviolent to Violent. So when a suspect race soldier is dealing with a runner or one who is resisting, they will execute that person right there on the spot and be exonerated, as long as their report reads the offender was violent because they were resisting and/fleeing.
Take time to read the article and let us dialogue.
Opponents say the bill, rushed to the floor without a hearing, would dangerously expand what's considered an "aggravated offense."
