CBS news is your friend: “While some news reports and pundits suggested the deployments may have been in lower-crime areas, CBS News' analysis of the locations of reported crimes in 2025 indicates that the federal government deployed troops and other federal law enforcement agents mostly in areas with higher – and often much higher – rates of crime, violent crime and gun crime than the average neighborhood across the city.” https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/dc-crime-data-national-guard-deployments-analysis/ |
BS...I have friends in the high crime areas in Ward 5, 7 and 8 and they have not seen a whiff of anything different. |
Everyone knows CBS news is in the tank for Trump. |
CBS = Fox |
Did you actually read the full article?? The only high-crime deployment area they mention is the U Street NW coridoor. “There are other areas of the city with high concentrations of crime where CBS News has not been able to verify sightings of troops or federal law enforcement deployments – primarily most of the neighborhoods southeast of the Anacostia River.” There are thousand of nat’l guard troops here and they STILL AREN'T IN THE HIGHEST CRIME AREAS LIKE Ward 8. |
Reuters is your friend: https://www.reutersconnect.com/item/federal-agents-and-police-officers-stand-at-the-anacostia-bus-station-during-a-surveillance-patrol-in-washington/dGFnOnJldXRlcnMuY29tLDIwMjU6bmV3c21sX1JDMlFCR0FNMVVHQw |
Damn Reuters! Why’d you have to go and ruin the vibe! |
So CBS says the feds are in the high crime areas. Reuters confirms the feds are in Anacostia, specifically. Why are folks throwing sandwiches again? |
Who cares? If you're not engaging in criminal activity, it's of no consequence to you. If you just don't like seeing people in uniforms, that's a you problem. I'd rather see that than homeless encampments and be importuned by beggars. |
Yeah you ass - they are deployed in the METRO, we know they have been deployed IN THE METRO, in safe protected buildings. They aren’t in the neighborhood, on the streets, in Ward 8. |
West or the park is "low crime" and they are not deployed there, so technically the reporting is accurate. But if you actually live here, we consider "high crime" to be east of the river, and they are not deployed there. You can see there is only one deployment dot east of the river. |
Wow. That’s an amazing take. Bless you. |
Southern Ave and Mississipi Aves rough areas. |
He said they are deployed within a three mile radius of the Capitol. Are wards 7 and 8 inside the three miles? I don't think so. |
Do you live in DC? |
