Is this the new norm of putting them back on the street to continue a life of crime ?

"Following an initial appearance, the Commissioner released Watson on Personal Recognizance."

HOW IN THE HELL CAN THE COMMISSIONER R.O.R. THESE FELONS?

Because they are stupid liberal bleeding heart commissioners, just like the judges.

@6:53 You can thank Maryland's so called "Justice Reinvestment Act"...This piece of garbage legislation ( a lot more than you would think) ties the hands of commissioners, judges, probation officers...just recently, a young thug (Dante Kane) was released after being arrested for distribution charges on a measly $5,000 bond...a few days later, he is in another county to sell more drugs, and while speeding (like 40-50 mph over the limit)runs over and kills an elderly woman. The "investigation is pending" for that. Hopefully, a warrant will be issued for home for causing her death. Thanks JRA for doing a bang up job!

What a botch legislators have made! Arrested with weapons, deadly drugs, no license or insurance and we interrupt their important street business to have them waltz through the commissioner's office for a few minutes.

Meantime AG Frosh jousts at windmills.

Next we'll be reimbursing them for lost sales while they were detained.

Northwest Woodsman: There are my 85% I am always reminding people of. All the usual suspects. I’ll bet that all of them are and have been involved in the criminal justice system since they were children. No matter how the government tries to cover it up, this is a criminal underclass that will be involved in criminal behavior for their entire lives. Going to jail is no deterrent for them. They see it as a minor inconvenience and an opportunity th visit friends and relatives as well as three meals a day, workout time, and play basketball. In my opinion, nothing will change that, however, making jail,and prison extremely in pleasant would provide us with some satisfaction. Forget the concept of,them going to jail, learning a lesson and changing their ways. That has and never will be the case. I have always felt that after the third entry on a police record, the fourth should read deceased.
