Racist PA Republicans Impeach Philly DA Larry Krasner b/c He Tried to Help Black People. However, "Authority" [the Cop's Uncontrollable Right to Attack People and Rule Over Them] is Not Reformable
/From [HERE] The Pennsylvania House impeached Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, as Republican legislators pushed to remove the twice-elected prosecutor whose liberal policies they blame for fueling record levels of violent crime in the city.
The Republican-led chamber impeached Mr. Krasner, a Democrat, on Wednesday by a vote of 107-85, largely along party lines, after more than two hours of emotional debate. The next step will be a trial in the GOP-led state Senate. Conviction and removal from office would require a two-thirds majority. It couldn’t be determined when a trial might be held.
State Rep. Martina White (racist suspect in photo top right), a Philadelphia Republican who was the lead sponsor of the impeachment resolution, exhorted members moments before Wednesday’s vote to support Mr. Krasner’s impeachment.
“His dereliction of duty and despicable behavior is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated,” she said. “The legislature has a duty and the only authority to act when a public official refuses to perform their duties and puts the public in danger.”
Mr. Krasner has said House Republicans mischaracterized his record. When GOP members introduced two articles of impeachment last month, he called the move devastating to democracy, adding, “It shows how far toward fascism the Republican party is creeping.” Lawmakers on the House floor Wednesday added five more articles of impeachment.
The impeachment comes a year after Mr. Krasner overwhelmingly won a second four-year term. He said his office vigorously prosecutes the most serious and violent crimes while adhering to the U.S. and Pennsylvania constitutions.
After the vote Wednesday, Mr. Krasner tweeted: “Philadelphians’ votes, and Philadelphia voters, should not be erased. History will harshly judge this anti-democratic authoritarian effort to erase Philly’s votes—votes by Black, brown, and broke people in Philadelphia. And voters will have the last word.” [MORE]
