It’s getting dangerous out there – for politicians seen as coddling criminals

Tuesday’s recall of District Attorney Chesa Boudin by voters in San Francisco, one of the nation’s most liberal cities, may be the best demonstration yet that a lot of Americans, including progressives, are frustrated by crime or at least a perception that criminals are not being prosecuted aggressively. That may not bode well for Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who has been dogged by a slew of controversies including, just to name the most recent, a severely understaffed team of prosecutors.
