In recent years, law enforcement across the United States has been warning radical district attorneys and legislators that their bail “reforms” would get people killed. Progressive Milwaukee district attorney John Chisholm has spearheaded efforts to eliminate or substantially reduce bail since he was elected in 2007, even though he agreed with law enforcement that such reforms would result in deaths. “Is there going to be an individual I divert, or I put into treatment program, who’s going to go out and kill somebody? You bet,” Chisholm bluntly stated. “Guaranteed. It’s guaranteed to happen. It does not invalidate the overall approach.”
