Biden's Massachusetts US attorney nominee opposes prosecuting drug dealers, supports police reform

On Monday, President Joe Biden nominated a progressive Suffolk County district attorney for the US attorney for Massachusetts position.

Rachael Rollins, according to the Washington Free Beacon, opposes prosecuting many charges including drug dealing, and supports a thorough reform of policing.

According to the Free Beacon, Rollins is backed by "Democratic megadonor George Soros," who has invested millions of dollars into reshaping prosecutors offices like Rollins.

Rollins partnered with Chesa Boudin and Larry Krasner, two other allegedly Soros-backed attorneys to form the Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation Commission, which is reportedly modeled after the South African tribunals established to reckon with apartheid.

The commission was formed in partnership with the Grassroots Law Project, co-founded by controversial activist Shaun King, which according to the Free Beacon is a left-wing group that says police reform "must begin with defunding police and investing in communities," and calls for the closure of "youth and adult prisons and jails."

Rollins supports a drastic reforming of policing, including a moratorium on the prosecution of 15 crimes, including drug distribution, shoplifting, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, breaking and entering, and making threats, according to the Free Beacon.

Rollins, who supports the end of aggressive policing, reportedly used the same tactics during a traffic incident last year.

"Massachusetts's Democratic attorney general Maura Healey investigated Rollins over an incident on Christmas Eve 2020 in which she allegedly threatened to issue a traffic citation to a motorist who cut her off in traffic. The motorist said that Rollins pulled her over after activating the police lights on her government vehicle," wrote the Free Beacon.

When asked about the incident by a reporter earlier this year, Rollins reportedly threatened them by stating "I'll call the police on you and make an allegation and we'll see how that works with you."

Rollins was cleared of any civil rights or criminal violations stemming from the incident, also being cleared by the state's ethics commission in March.
