Boston Mayor Michelle Wu advocated a soft-on-crime agenda by pushing to abolish the gang registry and arguing that criminal behavior – such as theft – should not be prosecuted. 

The following report is by Fox News:

Prior to being elected mayor, Wu filled out the 2021 Boston Mayoral Candidate Questionnaire from Progressive Massachusetts, a 501c4 nonprofit organization that tracks and ranks how progressive elected officials are.

According to its website, the group “intends to transform Massachusetts into a bold laboratory for progressive state initiatives.”

In the document, Wu outlined her most progressive commitments, including her support for noncitizens voting in Boston’s local elections. 

The mayor was asked, “Do you support shuttering the Boston Police gang database?”

She answered, “Yes.”

Then, Wu was asked whether she supported a do-not-prosecute list enacted by the former Suffolk County district attorney, Rachael Rollins. 

DA Rollins enacted the policy memo identifying more than a dozen charges she said should be declined for prosecution.

Those crimes included shoplifting, larceny, disorderly conduct, receiving stolen property, driving with a suspended license, breaking and entering with property damage, wanton and malicious destruction of property, threats, minor in possession of alcohol, marijuana possession, possession with intent to distribute, non-marijuana drug possession. 

The DA was later brought into the Biden administration, before resigning after an ethics probe found that Rollins committed “egregious” ethical violations and “abuse of power.”  

“Do you support the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office’s do-not-prosecute list and expanded approach to dealing with such low-level offenses? YES/ NO?” Progressive Mass asked. 

“Yes,” Wu responded. 

Wu also promised to advocate for reallocating some of the police’s budget towards other city priorities as mayor.

The mayor said she believes law enforcement should be “demilitariz[ed].” 

Wu said police should not have the ability to use tear gas, rubber bullets, and attack dogs.

The Progressive Mass questionnaire then asked, “Do you believe that affiliation or sympathies with white supremacist organizations among officers is a problem with BPD? YES/ NO If so, what measures would you take as mayor to combat that issue?”

Wu responded, “Yes. I have advocated for terminating any [Boston Police Department] employees who were involved with the January 6th Capitol insurrection.” 

She also wanted to publicize personnel files with the public relating to “use-of-force,” which opponents say can potentially put officers in danger

“[W]e must ensure that contract language enables the sharing of data with the public on officers’ use-of-force and misconduct and allows disciplinary records to be made publicly accessible, in accordance with privacy laws,” she said. 

Wu’s office didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

And this is what most of these Democratic politicians, mayors, governors, representatives, judges, councilors, etc. agree with, and even some RINOs also. Just look at how all the major cities treat crime now: they don’t. But in this country, whether it’s a blue or red state or county, the innocent man and average Joe is already presumed a criminal in a sense, and those who dare to stop a crime are practically guaranteeing themselves to get jerked around by the corrupt police and courts.

Isaiah 5:18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: [19] That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! [20] Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! [21] Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! [22] Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: [23] Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • I was living in the San Francisco area when the shoplifting without penalty upto 1k was passed and it caused a fast nosedive in society with many stores closing within just a couple years

    • Stores/ businesses are best leaving cities incl Boston because there is no future for businesses in these cities except bankruptcy. Third world cities on the west coast are unfit even for rats, likewise Chichago, Boston, NYC and others.

  • This is what happens when people with mixed heritages and mixed loyalties are permitted to have public office. From toddler ages, they are groomed to appear to be friendly to their host country until they reach an age from which they become influencers or policy makers. From then on, they have an evil agenda to follow; a takeover. Have you noticed…a great many mid-easterners and Chineeeese are in very prominent positions of power and authority on our home shores, ranging from healthcare and beyond? Yep, and that’s just the tip of the ice berg.

    Not to worry; it will soon be all over. Will you, your children, or others you love, be drafted in the near future? Conscription is coming for men and women between the ages of 18 and 35! So much for a sustainable population; kill off the potential breeders! Check this out: https://youtu.be/mQ1_THueEaA
