The problem in the USA is not violent crime.<p>The problem is that there are too many arbitrary laws that are applied capriciously by prosecutors who don&#x27;t care whether people are innocent or guilty, that these same prosecutors don&#x27;t care whether the due process of law is fact not fiction, and finally that when these prosecutors deliberately subvert the process or threaten people with horrendous consequences unless they sign a plea deal (even when they know the accused is innocent), these people suffer no consequences.
