Thread of the 4+ years of efforts by state lawmakers to oust Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner since he took office in 2018. Contrary to claims that the current impeachment efforts are based on spiking gun violence in Philly, lawmakers have tried to curb DA's authority for years
In 2019, Republicans pushed a bill through the state legislature that stripped Krasner's office of authority to prosecute certain gun crimes and gave that power to the state attorney general. The bill applied only in Philly, and in no other state county theintercept.com/2019/07/08/da-…
The bill quietly became law at the end of the 2019 leg session. Shortly after it was publicized, protesters at the 2019 Netroots Nation conference in Philly pressured AG Josh Shapiro on whether he'd use new powers. He said he'd support repealing the law theintercept.com/2019/07/12/jos…

One reason Biden might seek to extend this policy rather than ending it out right - it would be easy for Republicans and law enforcement to say the president legalized fentanyl analogues, even though that wouldn't be true 1/4 theintercept.com/2021/04/12/fen…
but Biden campaigned on ending mandatory minimum sentencing, which this would fly in the face of. there's also ample evidence that criminalizing drugs compounds harm, so the idea that they need more time to explore the impacts of class-wide scheduling is a little weak 2/4
a best faith reading? they're bogged down and don't want to do anything rash. worst faith? they're more concerned about bad press/attacks from GOP and law enforcement than what this could do to people, and don't want to lead on CJ reform despite campaigning on doing so 3/4

New: Cops in Washington raised >$70k for their K9's medical bills after he was shot in January. They made him a TikTok star, and were promoting merch with his image to fundraise for the K9 unit last month. Not mentioned? The cops were the ones who shot him theintercept.com/2021/04/05/pol…
this story isn't funny but it is
Oh also: his handler posted a TikTok (since deleted) saying a suspect in the altercation had shot the dog. This was repeated in local news, and one sheriff said cops “exchanged” gunfire w the suspect. Cops later found his gun had no bullets
