Numerous state prosecutors were appointed, leading to the release of violent felons under the guise of "equity."

You guys installed numerous state prosecutors who released violent felons in the name of "equity".

This is false. While the appointment of progressive prosecutors has led to some reforms aimed at reducing incarceration, violent felons are not being broadly released under the idea of equity. The claim seems to overgeneralize the actions of prosecutors. Decisions regarding the release of violent offenders typically come from judges, parole boards, and executive clemency, not just prosecutors acting alone under the banner of "equity."
