I think people fail to realize the backlash against jails happened during covid. Sickness was spreading through the every correctional facility in the state and starting seeping into the police department, then the towns that were near them. NYS funding was being redirected from corrections to public health and people were suing the city and state. It became a legal issue and exposed all the cracks in already corrupt system. Prisons and jails were being closed down, prisoners, correction officers and legal staff were dying. It was a mess. I remember when they released thousands of criminals onto the streets they just didn't have the means to hold them. People would rather have this conversation because it diverts from the reality of mayhem that the pandemic caused.

This entire call was prompted by false leaked information on Trump getting arrested on a certain date. One has to wonder whether this is a set up to put pressure on the DA through public aggression. He probably thought it was another Maga threat or crank call. I'm sure his answering service is always full of extreme threats.
