Because the please deal was part of the then -serving Ingham County Prosecutor's non-prosecution policy for "racial justice":
Fox 47 News: Ingham County prosecutor receives support and backlash for policies meant to ease racial disparities
Ingham County Prosecutor Carol Siemon said, when she was elected in 2016, one of her main goals was to reduce systemic racial bias and racial disparities from law enforcement, but not everyone supports the policies she's put in place to do that.
“I was raised here in Lansing, in a diverse community,” Siemon said. “I’ve always had an interest in civil rights, all aspects of civil rights. As a woman, I’ve been a feminist all my life. LGBTQ Rights, racial disproportionality, immigrants rights. So, when I was elected as prosecutor, my goal was to try and create a more criminal and equitable legal system.”
. . .
In the past month, Siemon has pushed out two policies meant to decrease the number of Black people behind bars.
One of the policies was not pushing felony firearms charges, nor offenses arising from traffic stops - for equity and racial justice, of course.
That worked out really well, didn't it?
