> BLM matter had a massive run out the gate and then nothing really changed

This is quite incorrect. There have been some pretty large changes in our criminal justice system over the last 2 years.

The main changes have been:

- Reform District Attorneys like Gascon have been elected in many major cities

- Elimination of cash bail in many parts of the US, most importantly New York (we were also very close to eliminating cash bail in California, but bail bond companies invested heavily to stop that)

- Biden appointing a bunch of public defenders to federal courts
