The article recounts a personal experience of the author, The Post's police bureau chief, who was violently attacked by Kamieo Caines, a known criminal with multiple prior arrests. Caines, who had been released from prison just months before the assault, is emblematic of a justice system that often fails to protect citizens from repeat offenders. Following the attack, the author expresses feelings of fear, helplessness, and frustration towards Caines' freedom despite his violent past, emphasizing the brokenness of the justice system.
Despite his proven record of violence, Kamieo Caines was discharged from Collins Correctional Facility in January 2022, even after a history of brutal attacks.
Being a victim of crime is one thing; being victimized by a broken justice system is another, leaving individuals feeling fearful and helpless.
