"According to a Daily Signal analysis of pay records, the FBI has spent 16,000 more man-hours (7.84 man-years) dealing with January 6th crimes than investigating BLM riots."
Just to note: the majority of charges for the post-George Floyd riots are limited to state/county criminal codes and not Federal-level - so it makes a lot of sense that the FBI would spend a lot more time on January 6-related investigations as those are explicitly in their jurisdiction.
Good piece. It's sad that the criminal elite can throw so many wrenches at the justice system that the context and urgency fade from memory, and opportunity costs eventually overtake the value of the effort. The worst outcome is the white flag of surrender, a signal to to the white-collar world that crime pays.
Of course, the right is howling about street crime in Manhattan to discredit Bragg. As if street crime is anywhere near as destructive as white-collar crime. As if white-collar crime doesn't CAUSE street crime. As if crime in Manhattan hasn't been declining precipitously for a year now. As if Manhattan isn't one of the safest places to live in the United States of America, according to easily verifiable data.

The ongoing comparisons between these two events are really disappointing.

Hell of a time to be alive.
