Don't blame the DA for what the police did. The DAs office and cops don't really work in tandem. There are instances where DAs are very displeased with officer work, and vice versa. They try to work together, but police do not get direct orders from the DAs office. I saw where one poster mentioned that if the DA were to lock up all the criminals, he would be out of a job. That is not true. Number one, DAs work on a salary and get paid whether they convict or not. Number two, the only time DAs can be condensed is when districts are redrawn, which is usually done based on population, not crime rate. Number three, DAs are elected. Are you going to vote someone out of office if he cuts the crime rate in half? Number four, it is impossible to eliminate crime. It can be reduced to an extent, but there will never be a time when prosecutors are not needed (at least as long as we stay under our current system). Mind you, I have seen (first hand) defense attorneys get fighting mad when a DA is really trying to reduce crime rate. This specific case centered around domestic violence. The DA launched a program to educate the public on the causes and effects of domestic violence, and the program was wildly successful. It reduced the rate of DV by about 50 percent. This, however, stopped Joe Blow coming to the lawyers every Monday after beating his wife over the weekend. The lawyers launched a huge campaign to remove this DA from office, which succeeded. Of course, some people accuse DAs of trying to "boost conviction rates" by just finding a scapegoat (even though no one even counts conviction numbers). Keep in mind, though, that the police arrest suspects and that the DAs have an obligation to prosecute them according to the facts. It is not uncommon to have a DA dismiss a case for lack of evidence, however. All parts of government have corrupt units. In my firsthand experience, though, DAs get an unfair reputation.
