Cashless bail does apply to violent felonies. "Non-violent felonies" is a
misleading gimmick that they used here to make idiots think that people
accused of doing violent stuff *by meriam webster definition* would remain in
jail; it's not the case. Judges can decide to not let defendants have bail,
but they don't care enough to do so, and they don't.

Another thing that you don't get is black people, because they barely exist in
your region. You've got to visit outside of your bubble some day.
