Then they should stop collecting a salary for the work they aren't doing, and taxpayers should criticize them for not doing the work they are paying them to do. Each of the DAs has been doing pretty much exactly what they told voters they would do. I really don't understand why this is so complicated.

Not everyone voted for or agrees with the current DA’s opinion. As a taxpayer, I don’t mind keeping cops doing nothing on the payroll as I know when the backlash begins and we get a new DA they’re ready to start work again with no delay. Doesn’t seem complicated to me personally.

And yet they haven't. Who'd have thunk that being fine with people not doing their job encourages bad behavior instead of what you were hoping to encourage?
