District Attorney Demographics and Gentrification Tactics

Sean King points out that 95% of elected District Attorneys in the U.S. are white, arguing for a radical shift in the legal system. However, the discussion critiques the results of "liberal" prosecution, noting that policies decriminalizing theft under $1,000 can lead to lawlessness. A theory is proposed that allowing crime to rise in poor neighborhoods serves as a cynical gentrification tactic to drive out residents and lower property values for redevelopment.
