As many times as they like until they finally kill someone.
How many roads must a man walk down before he can call himself a man? How many times can a psychotic woman stab people before a Soros DA locks her up? The short answer: as many as she likes until someone dies.
Welcome to the grand experiment in billionaires like Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, George Soros or Steven Spielberg selecting pro-crime prosecutors who let monsters roam the streets until they kill someone.
Forget just legalizing shoplifting, cases like this show they legalized stabbing people.
Enjoy George Gascon’s LA. Try not to get stabbed. And if you do, remember that the stabber won’t even get a slap on the wrist, they’ll be set loose in a diversion program.
Jade Simone Brookfield’s first encounter with Los Angeles police happened in the early spring of 2020, during Gascon’s first year in office. Brookfield was arrested for attempted murder after she stabbed a woman in the chest with a knife, puncturing her lung.
Prosecution of the crime was delayed into 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. By then, the court reduced Brookfield’s charges to assault with a deadly weapon — still a felony charge that counts as one “strike” under California’s Three Strikes law — and prosecutors agreed to a deal where Brookfield was given mental health diversion instead of jail time.
A source said that Brookfield absconded and was initially terminated from the diversion program. However, she was permitted to re-enlist in diversion and was given another chance.
So Brookfield, knowing a good thing when she saw one, kept right on stabbing people.
In September 2021, Brookfield was arrested for battery of a peace officer. She was again given a mental health diversion and Gascon’s office dismissed the case.
Three months later in December, Brookfield was arrested for a third time for making criminal threats after she allegedly assaulted a man, pulled out two knives and threatened to kill him. Despite her known record of violent assault, prosecutors rejected the case because of a lack of evidence, according to Gascon’s office.
Brookfield remained in the mental health diversion program, but it does not seem to have helped her. In March of this year, Brookfield was arrested for a fourth time for another felony assault with knife. She allegedly swung a knife several times at a bus driver who missed her exit, according to law enforcement sources.
Three strikes and you’re out was a horrible racist policy. This is so much better. It’s unfair not to let criminals continue committing horrifying crimes.
Despite her criminal history, and despite this arrest being a blatant violation of her diversion, Brookfield was inexplicably ordered released from custody with an ankle monitor, a decision that proved to have deadly consequences.
Just weeks after her release for a second assault with a deadly weapon arrest, Brookfield was arrested and charged in Banner’s death.
Banner, a father of two young girls, was killed with a knife.
