A Debatable Point

Is prosecutorial pandering a justified aspect of governance?

I would reject the idea out of hand, but to play devil's advocate, if it saves lives by pretending to be readying a federal case against a defendant because it placates the throngs of angry dimwits long enough for them to forget what they had been angry about, is that justified?

Well, no, but I am of the opinion that that is part of the calculation for those making the top-level decisions. Thanks for yet again bringing the country to the brink of racial strife, Barack. And thanks for being a complete authoritarian tool, Eric. You both had the chance to truly lead by telling people what they needed to hear instead of what they wanted to hear, but you chose otherwise.
