I am a cynic. In my not so humble opinion very few innocents are unjustly executed for murder. The police got the right man for the wrong crime, that’s all.

The most “justice-involved” shoplifters in NYC get re-arrested and almost immediately re-released every other week, and not arrested for every time they are caught (why should a policeman bother trying?), and not caught for every time they shoplift, so plausibly they are doing it every single day. This isn’t even “soft on crime” anymore; it’s indifferent to crime at best.

Most felons are incarcerated after making a plea bargain to a (much) lesser crime. Ignore the Leftists who cry about “non-violent” felons in prison.

Anti-gun laws are almost never used against gang members with a history of violence.

Crime was drastically reduced in the 1990′s after the “three strikes” laws incarcerated one in three black men.

The average shooting victim (AKA gang member) has 10 prior arrests. The average shooter (AKA gang enforcer) has 15 prior arrests.
