If they think prosecuting these cases is expensive, wait till they get the lawyer bills from the first lawsuit filed as a result...Shawnee County has already dropped 30 domestic violence cases since it stopped prosecuting the crime on Sept. 8. Some 16 people have been arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery charges and then released after charges were not filed.
What I've always wondered is how is domestic violence different from, you know, violence?
Actually Topeka won't be prosecuting any MISDEMEANORS, but what reporter wants to write that when he's got an honest to goodness "World to End Tomorrow, Women and Minorities Hardest Hit" style headline? None. None reporters, that's who.

Also, Oakland has come up with a set of laws it's no longer going to worry about because they don't want to fire cops in order to save money.

Hey! Remember how optimistic I am about Detroit's future? Well, now we learn that more than half of Detroit's population are able to read. That's awesome!
Want more good news? There are at least two whole other cities on Earth more dangerous than Detroit, and eight that are worse than New Orleans! Amazing! Don't you dare ask what these two cities have in common...
