OMG! A DA who insists on evidence!

The cops in Victoria Co., TX are unhappy with District Attorney Steve Tyler because he's turning down 36% of their adult cases..and HALF of their juvies.

"If you cannot do your duty, you need to resign and give the duty to someone who can," Tyler said."What they got used to is not having to comply with the law. It shows me they're not willing to do anything that's costly and inconvenient. They think I'm giving them hell. I'm telling them the truth, and they just think it's hell.If they don't know the law, they need to learn it. I'm more than willing to help them. If they don't do that, there's no way to fix this. I function according to the law."

Aside from the little problem of the jails being full while the cops do their homework, I'm so not-sympathetic to their complaint.
