Absurd assertions on their face, and you don\u2019t need to dig too far to find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While LVMPD\u2019s ranks dwindle and the crime rate rises, knowing how your elected officials view the law enforcement profession is essential. Here\u2019s a post from a while back that Johnson attempted to conceal to voters by deleting it:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-33.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load wp-image-3276\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-33.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-33.png 481w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-33-249x300.png 249w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-33-293x353.png 293w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-33-390x469.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t an isolated case.

This is due in part to the exorbitant cost of capital prosecutions, as well as the choice of lethal injection as a method of execution.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more important is what the piece does not say. Johnson avoids the moral argument entirely- similar wonks have thought of ways to reduce the cost of litigation and execution. Still, Johnson only ventures to question capital punishment\u2019s value as a deterrent to violent crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of deterrents, Drew Johnson is a big fan of internet porn and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Drews_Views\/status\/1418581505509662720\">strip clubs<\/a>\u00a0because he believes they satisfy rapists, cheaters, and child abusers in the same way a drunk can turn to seltzer water.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20589%20257'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-36.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load wp-image-3279\" width=\"589\" height=\"257\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-36.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3279\" width=\"589\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-36.png 774w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-36-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-36-770x336.png 770w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-36-293x128.png 293w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-36-390x170.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a view Johnson has held for a while.
