      Eh, that was kind of overblown.

      She had more prosecutions than the prior DA, but most weren’t jail time, it was just get caught pay a fine.

      He was behind a lot of the early 90s police bullshit that we’re still dealing with today.

      What’s fucked up is it coincided with the same drop in violent crime from banning leaded gas that every country saw. So some people still think that backwards ass shit works Plus, they were usually alive for decades before the ban and exposed to all that lead for decades…
