NYPD Admits They Have Been Arresting Too Many People, Considering Amnesty For 1.2 Million

The New York Police Department is being forced to acknowledge they have arrested far too many people for victimless crimes. Now, the department admits they will have to do something about it.

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton has publicly accepted the fact that “millions” have been convicted of crimes that they should never have been jailed for.

The new controversial proposal suggests the City of New York grant amnesty to over 1 million citizens who have open warrants for low-level, clearly victimless offenses.

The prison industry warns that this will “cause crime to skyrocket,” but what the seem more worried about is the bottom line for their for-profit, tax-payer-funded prison schemes.

Commissioner Bratton first called for a lessening of penalties for smoking marijuana in public. Private use of the plant has already been effectively decriminalized in NYC.
