Alameda County DA Pamela Price faces mounting criticism and calls for justice.

Some media members in the Bay Area are fixating on Alameda County DA Pamela Price, using loaded, pro-punishment rhetoric and highlighting gruesome anecdotes to dissuade the public from thinking critically about the larger impacts of criminal justice reform. They're acting like it’s newsworthy that a selection of Alameda County prosecutors would choose to resign from office when a DA with radically different politics became their new boss. Price's predecessor, Nancy O’Malley, lobbied against statewide criminal justice reform ballot measures and embraced the financial support of police unions.
