DC police chief blasts justice system after latest shooting: 'You cannot coddle violent criminals'
Fox News
Washington, D.C., police chief Robert Contee declared himiself "mad as hell" Friday as he vented about the city's ineffective justice system and said violent criminals shouldn't be "coddled."
"I'm going to give it to you straight … The justice system that we have right now, it is not functioning the way that it should. The courts are not open. That is a fact. Barely open," he said. "So cases from last year that happened during COVID of violent criminals that have not been disposed of, where do you think those individuals are? They're in community." Contee said D.C. was victimized by a "vicious cycle" of repeat offenders getting arrested and then turned around to the street less than a month later, predicting the perpetrators of Thursday's shooting would be familiar to the D.C. police department when they arrested them.
