What on earth happened in Navy Yard last night (Saturday 10/26)?

Maybe DC Police should actually do their jobs, and the DC prosecutors should actually do THEIR jobs. You all elected this mayor, you should get rid of her. She's a disgrace. DC has returned to the 1970s and 80s.

I was in another US city earlier this week and was shocked when I saw police out pulling cars over.

I have a different idea. How about we start with prosecuting and punishing violent offenders.

As someone who lived in NYC under Giuliani I think we can do both. Is it easy? No. Will it be worth it? Yes.

Um... it's actually pretty easy to stop the under 26 free pass.

If your primary solution to violent crime is ticketing eating on the metro then you just might be part of the problem.

A kid was shot on the green line at Gallery Place, was not even esp late. My office had an evening event down on Wharf recently, things like last night make me nervous being down there and taking metro tbh.

With this Council, AG, soft on crime fed appointed judges and soft on crime fed career prosecutors at USAO? What is the “pretty easy” answer? Realistically, what?

Maybe parents should do their jobs first?

A perception that is reality, sadly.

None of that involves arresting perpetrators. MPD is under the purview of the Mayor.

The law changes, as stupid as they are, apply to sentencing.

MPD does make arrests, many are quickly released by federally appointed prosecutors and judges. Catch & release is the status quo, not an “easy answer.”

A man who beat his 5 yr old to death was recently released, without even GPS monitoring. The police affidavit was lengthy but USAO requested his release, without a monitor.

It's not perception, it's reality.

Why can’t I find any info about this online or from MPD twitter? It’s amazing what DOES’NT make the news (like WaPo online).

I saw it on the various DC crime twitter accounts but I was surprised that it didn't get picked up by the local news. Doesn't seem to be any outrage over it. Sad.

Is there a police and FBI strike? Where were they?
