The Senate has to approve DC judges, and adult felonies are prosecuted by a US Attorney we don't get to pick. There are absolutely things DC could do better. But those are some major limitations that states don't have.

This is a laughable excuse. The prosecutor DC residents voted for won’t aggressively prosecute juvenile crime.

The YRA, slack prosecution of “juvenile” offenders and the attendant high levels of crime is exactly what DC voters want, because it’s the implementation of policies supported by people that DC voters have voted for.

When do we get to vote for this prosecutor again?

His name is Brian Schwab, you can look his term up, and his predecessor was no better. Racine wanted “restorative justice” for homicide!

Several gun crime alerts in upper NW overnight, on Legation and Military by groups of 2 young men in likely stolen cars.

Yeah, DC has 100% control over juvenile crime. This is what the electorate has chosen.
