Blanket Pardons and Commutations
As someone who has seen intended and unintended mayhem as a former police officer, I believe that a pardon or commutation should be based upon the specific crime and the specific actions taken by an individual in the commission of a crime.
Regardless of the political beliefs of whomever is in a position to grant pardons or commutations, each case should be judged upon the merits of their case.
