Why do some politicians want to decriminalize crime?

I believe they do it, in order to make the crime rate statistics look good.

If we go back in time, and think about when this first started, we find Patrisse Cullors, one of the three women who founded the Black Lives Matter movement. These three women were openly communist, and Patrisse Cullors also had a brother who had, (she said), been jailed unjustly and her brother was beaten severely while in the county jail, by the police, according to Cullors.

When the whole incident with George Floyd occurred, and the Black Lives Matter movement caught fire, the defund the police movement began.

There was a widely spread, and true, rumor that black men were incarcerated far more often than white men. This was because when we examine the statistics, black men do commit more crimes than white men, or men of any other race.

During this whole period, a few years ago, politicians on the far left began to try to please the BLM people. BLM wanted jails to be emptied, so that social justice could be served. That process was begun. Leftists began to examine the types of crime for which black men were most often jailed. Those included drunk driving, possession of drugs, petty theft, assaults, etc. So, how to stop arresting and jailing so many black men? Decriminalize their favorite crimes.

Politicians are still trying to please the far left BLM movement. It's part of the communist plan to create anarchy, and releasing criminals back into society is NOT done solely to help us stop paying for prisons.
