      This is ignorant. Trump signed one decent bill, then under-funded it by 80 percent. He also reversed Obama reform policies on equitable sharing, police militarization, DOJ review of local police agencies, predatory municipal courts, I could go on.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1134460071084265477 …

      The 1994 crime bill caused lots of problems, but it's telling that Dem candidates are focusing on a 25 year old bill to attack Biden, rather than the criminal justice record of the Obama/Biden administration. Trump enacted more sweeping criminal justice reform than Obama ever did

      Ignorant how? Trump signed into law the FIRST STEP Act, described by the Justice Action Network as "the most meaningful federal criminal justice reform bill our country has seen in decades." Are you arguing that Obama signed into law a bill that was more meaningful?

      Your first tweet also makes little sense. How is it "telling" that Biden's competitors/detractors *aren't* attacking the Obama-Biden record on CJ reform? If that record is as paltry as you claim, I'd think they *would* be attacking him for it.

      Right, it's telling that Democratic candidates are NOT attacking the Obama-Biden record, given how paltry it is. That owes in large part to the political pitfalls of attacking Obama in the context of a Democratic primary. So instead they must go back 25 years for an attack.

      Obama's decision to ramp up enforcement of bad policing and putting in place more consent decrees and investigations - which detailed horrific police violations in major cities - was having a huge, positive effect on countless black people. But Trump/Sessions stopped it.

      Trump/Sessions were able to stop it because those actions were not codified by federal legislation. My comparison was limited to federal legislation. I realize Trump is very bad on criminal justice issues in other areas. Which heightens the irony of the legislative record.

          Were you paying attention during the Obama era? Do you know why those things weren't codified by federal legislation? Was it because the Obama administration didn't want it or didn't try? Or because the GOP said no to almost everything Obama wanted? How can you not know this?

          This is why your ignorance on this subject is so dangerous. You purport to be telling hard truths when, in fact, all you are doing is using Trump supporters talking points that are misleading and suggests there is no difference between Trump and Democrats like Obama.
