This is the office of the Los Angeles District Attorney, the person charged with enforcing the city's laws and locking up criminals. Four years ago, at the apex of BLM mass mania, the people of Los Angeles voted to give the District Attorney job to a man named George Gascon.

Gascon was a pure vessel of Black Lives Matter orthodoxy: he denounced the legal system as inherently racist and promised to radically restructured it. And once he got in office, that's exactly what he did. He stopped forcing misdemeanor crimes. He let prisoners get out of jail early. He slashed sentences. He hamstrung prosecutors.

We went to Los Angeles to investigate how this experiment has been going, to watch Gascon's grand visions collide with reality.

Featuring interviews with John Lewin and John Mckinney.
