In California, thanks largely to lax enforcement, trains are being robbed and drug stores cleared out by criminals who face no consequences whatsoever. Two dozen police had been shot (at that point) since the year began. But to Psaki, the coverage of the consequences of "soft-on-crime" policies is somehow incomprehensible, belonging in an "alternate universe." ... Most of the crime problems are in ... read more
