DA tells the truth on crime, but progressives won't listen
2023-03-02
[NYPOST] David Soares is district attorney of Albany County, NY — where politics is paramount, where facts seldom matter, and where apostasy isn’t tolerated.

No surprise, then, that Democrat Soares — an eloquent contrarian — is on the outs in the Democrat-dominated capital city.

Soares is black, which historically wasn’t an asset in his county’s Irish-Catholic, machine-dominated political environment.

He was elected DA in 2005 with the backing of the noxious disruptor George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
— much to the dismay of local safe-streets advocates.

But Soares takes his oath of office seriously. He most certainly is no Alvin Bragg — a Soros acolyte so caught up in hard-left, racialized ideology that he might just as well be the local public defender.

Indeed, Soares was among the first to warn against the now-notorious criminal justice "reforms" in 2019.

It seemed obvious then that easing up on violent mostly peaceful criminals would generate more violent mostly peaceful crime — but it took bravery to say so, and Soares appears to have courage in abundance.

He’s now demanding reforms of the "reforms," and his heresy — he’s a black, progressive Democrat arguing persuasively that innocent black New Yorkers are the principal victims of the 2019 changes — has been noted. Especially by the black progressive Democrats now running the state Legislature, who apparently have had enough of his impudence.
