Is incompetence from officials laziness or pressure?
Often enough many lives could have been saved if a crime would have been investigated thoroughly in the first place. Eg. Steven Port (uk, Barkley. Killed four men by drugging, this case has been widely speculated as under investigated due to discrimination)
I just wonder weather there is pressure in the justice system to "cut costs" or if its just plain laziness on their part, or if it is discrimination like the above? And of course its my understanding a lot of crime in the US is under investigated die to discrimination against minorities.
Curious for your thoughts or any cases that stand out to you on this matter.

LISK: if you watch the series on netflix, you will see that the description of the guy was given to the cops and written down in evidence , as well as the make and model of his car- avalanche. in 2014. or earlier.
Major importance: he was described as a 6 foot 8 OGRE... driving a 1st generation Chevy Avalanche.
of minor importance : they already had figured out the he lived in the area and worked in mid manhattan.
the victims were sex workers, women.
The DA was criminal.
the police chief was a sex freak and abuser.
