The tide may be turning against far-left prosecutors who refuse to prosecute criminals.
That’s because the result of their rise to power has been nothing short of disastrous.
Now a George Soros-funded California DA may soon be sent packing early by the voters.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price was hand-picked by far-left billionaire George Soros.
She, like other officials in solidly Democrat jurisdictions, came to power after a huge cash infusion from the foreign radical who is determined to completely undermine and change law and order in the United States.
During her 2018 district attorney campaign, she received an eye-popping $700,000 from the California Justice and Public Safety PAC.
That political action committee is nearly entirely funded by Soros.
While she failed in her first attempt to gain power in 2018, she would come back to win the race four years later.
Even though she was only just elected in 2022 she’s already made quite the mark – and not in a good way.
Since assuming office, Price has gone all in on supporting the far-left, criminal-coddling, woke agenda.
Soros DA completely betrayed her own community and could lose her job
A website opposed to Price called, Save Alameda for Everyone (SAFE) says, “Price has violated victims’ rights, ignored victim pleas and disrespected people who have been victimized by some of the worst crimes imaginable. She has told mothers that the lives of their children are worth less than the lives of the offender.”
She has even gone so far as to provide training manuals for employees in her office claiming “the carceral state grew out of chattel slavery” and that “modern policing grew out of slave patrols.”
Naturally, those manuals don’t favor punitive action for offenders, instead they propose “addressing the root causes” of criminal activity.
But her actions have landed her in hot water.
According to the Alameda County Registrar of voters, Price’s political opponents have collected 74,757 verified signatures to hold a recall election to remove her.
That number is over 1,000 more than needed.
Crime has reached epidemic proportions
Brenda Grisham organized SAFE and told the Daily Caller last month, “The whole administration… I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve been in Oakland my whole life, and I’ve never seen the amount of lack of care for the people in this community like what the administration had. I’m gonna advocate for these families. If they need a recall, then I’m going to advocate for a recall.”
Since Price assumed office, over 14,001 burglaries and 6,101 incidents of violent crime have occurred in the city — a 36% and 21% increase, respectively, according to police data.
Oakland averages 40 vehicle thefts a day, and at least 11,793 vehicles have been stolen since the beginning of 2023.
“Many of us seniors are afraid to walk down the street, and again, carjackings, businesses are closing, all due to crime,” Carl Chan, an Oakland resident told KTVU.
With the required number of signatures having been met, organizers expect a special election to be held in June.
