Didn't matter to me until the response to the original story was to question the ethnicity of the attacker. Go back to the last page.

Some in the media and those inside dcum do a disservice by omitting the race of a subject in a county that hasn't had a majority race for over 10 years. The Moco policy is destroying it from within.

Yesterday, I (white female) went to a big-box store. I said hello to the greeter (Asian-American male). I found one thing I was looking for, but I had to ask an employee (Black male) for help finding the other thing. Then I went to the checkout, where the cashier (? male) rang up my purchases. Once out of the store, I texted my partner (white male), who said we already had the first thing, so I went back inside, and the person at the return desk (white female) refunded my money.

That extra demographic information adds to much to the story, don't you think?

I celebrate diversity and its not worth mentioning during the normal course of ones day. However crime is a different matfer and race does play a rule in it. The wokeness of ignoring it is the problem and will always call it out when I see it.

Why is crime a different matfer? How does race play a rule in it? Please do explain how the police news release did a disservice to the residents of Montgomery County by not immediately labeling the race/ethnicity of the man the police had just killed.

MoCo and some of our media's wokeness is the problem, Karen. The scanner called the subject a hispanic male and its now confirmed. When someone brings up the race card in their daily acrivities, it magnifies the DEI issue of the left. The 'disservice' is ignoring the tragedy and focus on an agenda just like the 'white hispanic' in the Trayvon Martin tragedy.

I subscribe to the MLKjr methodology of the contact of their character, not the color of their skin.

MoCo's sanctuary city policy is ruining this county and wonder if Franklin Castro Ordonez is undocumented?

Montgomery County doesn't have a sanctuary city policy. Multiple people experienced the trauma of being attacked with a knife, a Montgomery County police officer experienced the trauma of shooting and killing a 19-year-old who was most likely having a mental health crisis, and your response is to bang on about federal immigration policy.

Covid stopped it, yet in 2019 MoCo officially designated for 'sanctuary' status

https://www.fox5dc.com/news/montgomery-county-officially-designated-for-sanctuary-status

Meanwhile, this video shows a victim barely escaped this vicious attack

So here's the thing. And it's happening in a lot of progressive cities. Police are told by political leaders not to arrest people because of mental health or homelessness or addiction. And 99% of police would agree with that. But the county has not built the mental health treatment and housing infrastructure it needs to provide alternative solutions to these problems. We just don't have it.

So if police aren't arresting, and jails aren't holding, and prosecutors aren't prosecuting, people like this are left on the street, BECAUSE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP HAS NOT CREATED ANY ALTERNATIVES.

This x 100

Thank you! This is the problem right here and it’s a perfect example of why we need to pay more attention to council elections.

They got taught the sanitized version of Dr. King. His Birmingham Jail letter would generate full blown conniptions when they read it.

Middle class families like myself are starting to plan their exit strategy from MOCO. The schools are no longer good, the neighborhoods aren't safe- and it's very expensive to boot- why live here if you don't have to. It's going to continue to decline as the influx of immigrants come and suck dry the limited resources we have to give out. I'm hoping my kids can make it out okay - they have 6-9 years left in public school.

Why delay? You can move away now!

Because we're middle class with kids and therefore there's a lot of moving parts to consider. If I could move right away I would.

Total fabricated bull crap.

Police are NOT told “not to arrest” criminals. Start with that lie right there. Do you have any evidence that this suspect was previously arrested or detained but not charged like you are claiming or is that total BS that you made up out of thin air too? Let me quote our county executive and see what he actually thinks about these situations:

“Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich said in a statement Saturday night that he would work with health officials, police and community partners to identify and expand mental health crisis services in the county.
“While we do not know the motive for this attack today, I continue to believe we need to do more to address the markedly increasing mental health crisis in our community,” he said in a statement. “We need to find ways to avert these kinds of tragedies from occurring and not put our officers into the difficult and tragic position of determining when it is necessary to take a life.”

Why don’t you criticize his actual words rather than your own made up nonsense?

I’m not the PP you are responding to.

There have been over 20 police reforms in Montgomery County over the past 3 years. 20. The council has taken great lengths to restrict how police respond to crime. Their documents overtly state that the number of police in Silver Spring and Wheaton need to be reduced by 50% in order to limit public interaction with police. (Note that suggests the police are the problem, not people committing crimes.) Current legislation would keep officers from responding to certain traffic violations. It’s apparently better to allow people to drive without a license and without working headlights than risk an interaction with an officer. (Again: the police are the problem, not the person behaving irresponsibly.)

Meanwhile, they’ve spoken regularly about how efforts can be directed away from police into a series of support networks. The PP was asking where those supports are. What has the council accomplished?

We’re taking away from the police but not putting anything into place. That’s the problem the PP is pointing out.
