After living in the district for three decades, we're leaving. We've had it. Feeling like we're we're on our own (can't rely on 911, police, fire...none of it). We need vigilante justice to deal with these criminals. Our tax dollars aren't supplying the security we are paying for.

And rather than dedicate resources to stop them, they decide to give out airtags instead. So what? So citizens can be vigilantes and track down their own cars and confront violent criminals. Another person on another thread told a story about how she contacted the cops when her car was stolen and watched with them as they tracked the car moving around the city but the cops refused to do anything. what the hell?

They’re not allowed to chase. You voted for the people who implemented that.

Pretty sure there was no "chase" of the 17 year-old who stole the FBI's vehicle. They investigated and collected evidence.

So to answer the question not being addressed by anyone: yes, probably 60% of MPD is refusing to do their job. The Mayor and the Council don't say anything because they are worried the remaining 40% will stop doing their job, as well. There needs to be a change in culture at MPD and the USAO's office.

I was responding to the PP and the now infamous Washington Post story of the carjacked being tracked.

The Council and DC juries have made it very clear they do not want a muscular, aggressive police force.

THANK YOU! I’m sick of people saying this is MPD’s issue. This is what the politicians want. One person’s “police work stoppage” is really “police doing what the politicians actually want them to do.” Politicians do not want enforcement.

Want change? Then vote accordingly. Period.

With fake and paper tags and all the masks, not sure how helpful cameras will be? If the USAO doesn't prosecute and judges release those who have killed people, we'll still be doomed. It's a bit Orwellian but things have gotten really bad.

Just to further the issue service providers are worried about coming into our areas for fear of getting rob. Its not worth the job to them. So it is going to be great fun when we can no longer get a plumber or electrician to come because they don't want to be robbed.

Just waiting for kids to finish HS and them we are out!

We are house hunting. 20 years in DC. The mayor and council aren’t even taking this issue seriously, let alone treating it like the 5 alarm fire it is.

We simply cannot live with the carjackings, property crimes, shootings, and chaos with no consequences for the perpetrators.

Who in local politics can make this happen?

Doing what you propose in your subject line would result in many more African-American males behind bars.

And that is racist.

Full stop. Never gonna happen.

DC crime will get much, much worse before it gets better.

So either pick between more African-American males in prison or high crime, wow

That's what progressives keep telling us.

If this is how the choice is (falsely) framed, it's not a difficult one.

There is clearly no urgency at all to the crime wave. I can’t tell if they’re too insulated to know this, or just don’t want to address the problem.

Let me guess: but you were all about defunding the police a few years back, right?

When the prisons are full, crime goes down.

There is no political desire to lower crime in DC. It is going to get a lot worse. Keep your fingers crossed you and your loved ones are not a victims. (You already are a victim every month paying significantly higher car insurance than you would elsewhere, eating more expensive food due to many restaurants paying 40k per month for security, etc)

Why is this so true?!
