. I find her an extremely uninspiring choice based on the specific jobs she's held. The opposite of what the city needs right now, but not surprising from Bowser. |
| In the nearly 15 years I've lived in DC I've seen Park Police pull over more traffic violators than I have MPD. I've seen people blatantly run red lights in front of MPD and they did nothing about it. |
| She’s exceptionally qualified. |
The city has turned all traffic enforcement over to cameras because they don’t trust the cops to do their jobs. You see the results. I was behind a couple guys on motorcycles today who didn’t stop for anything — not stop signs, not traffic lights, nothing. |
| Good. Maybe she's less enmeshed in cop gang culture. |
The Council has made clear they do not want MPD doing traffic enforcement. It’s inequitable. |
The same reason they don’t enforce illegal tags. |
| Wasn’t there a whole season of The Wire about how park police were the baddest cops around? |
How does "equity" give someone a pass to speed, run red lights, put fake license plates on your car, and drive recklessly? |
With our anti-police DC council, maybe that was really the point?! Criminals and vagrants all over the city must be celebrating. |
I think she seems like a person with experience who takes no crap. Which is what we need. |
the inequities aren't caused by the police |
It's been more than 20 years since that show debuted. Perhaps time to Let It Go. |
That is a great question..... |
Jeez, the posters on this thread. Educate yourself. |
