On a related note, I am a little sad that many working class families (especially ones that serve our communities) can't afford to live in the city. Read article today that average 1 bedroom in DC is $2,000. Not condoning the officers.

Cops make enough to live in the city, for christsakes. Ft Dupont, Deanwood, Michigan Park - there are DC cops living all over this city.

plus it's a lieutenant and sergeant - not exactly low rank either

I said related note. Wasn't talking about these people. Again, hope they get convicted and made example of. We have many cop friends and I can tell you a large majority of cops live in deep Moco, PG county. Many teachers also struggle to live in a safe DC neighborhood.

Ooops. I know another residency cheating cop who lives in MD and sends his child to a sought after DCPS school. I'll forward this to him and watch him rationalize it.

PP, don't you feel obligated to report that person?!

I don't like people that break the law or break the rules, especially when you're a cop. However, with that said, DC has gotten unreasonably unaffordable due to so many bourgeousie moving in. And yes that is a positive in many ways--more Dior stores, for example--now there's one in the City Center AND right over the line with MD. But, it's not a good sign that many of our working class families that we want to protect us and our valuables as well teach our children (let alone mow our lawns, cook our food, provide daycare to our children) either can't live here or have to live in a yucky area that we would never want to live in willingly.

Why? Is it better if you are judge, or an it specialist, or a doctor?

Mr. Racine will have my vote in the next election. This is amazing.

So what was the impetus to send their kids to school here? Aren't there plenty of fine schools in the suburbs?

and It's not like the parents were commuting into DC -- they were cops in the suburbs.

Or you could do the right thing and report him.

Until now, I was under the impression that all the Maryland plates at D.C. schools exist merely to save money on auto insurance. Now, I'm going to have to reassess...everything.

Can Racine go after CM McDuffie sending his two kids in DCPS? Rumors are circulating that he's living in PG county himself.

Are you always that naive? If so, I have some prime property to sell you at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Northwest.

Huh? They are cops in the city. The school drop off and pick up were convenient for their work schedules in the city. I am sure one works a 7-3 where they can drop kid on way to work and pick up after. Must be easy for them to have kids at school in the neighborhood where they work. Most DC parents doesn't send their kids to school by their jobs.
