| So anyone who's worked in the criminal justice system also knows that sowing district between LEOs and the immigrant community results in a crime spike because criminals are aware of this and will target these communities. Making it so certain populations won't cooperate and talk to the police makes crime policing very difficult. |

There were 101 murders when the Guard came in. As of August 29 there are 103. That is a historic decrease in the murder rate. End of story. I don’t need Washington Post articles. All I need is this:

So you want to pay $1M per day as your permanent crime solution? Maybe just fix the prosecution issues, fill the judicial vacancies and save us some $. |
Yup, I live in Shaw and have experienced the same. And the older Black neighbors I talk to are happy that they feel safer, while the white people are hysterically telling me "we are not safer, no one is safer." I'm starting to feel that these white liberals are going to end up endangering everyone. |
No, just the one's that are committing crime and causing destruction and danger to the public. We don't have to if they or anyone else committing the crime stops what they're doing. Otherwise you go back to the DC Democrat Doom Loop of......Crime committed...play it down....do little....give reasons why you shouldnt do more......complain midly that something should be done but blame racism when it is.....Vote Democrat and keep those that won't prosecute and have permanent soft on crime policies....(go back to start of loop) |
This would require DCUMers to stop voting Democrat. How many on here finally have the guts and common sense to make the change? You are showing common sense to bring up the obvious (about fixing prosecution issues and judges) but you just cannot act on it due to your TDS. I'll bet you were the same people bashing Jeanine Pirro for talking tough. Usually the students (the DC public) in detention are there for a reason and always say they are innocent or oppressed or the teacher hates them etc. Everyone else tunes them out and lets the adults handle the cleanup. This is what's happening in DC for this short time period. |
$365 million to save 150+ American from getting killed a year? Is this a real question? How much of a penny pincher are you about the hundreds of billions we’ve given Ukraine and Israel to save their citizens from dying? But when it’s cents on the dollar to save mostly Black Americans from getting murdered you turn into a right wing economist? I see… |
No it requires the feds to fix and staff the USAO. They are doing this somewhat, but judicial vacancies are a federal hold up by congress that Trump could choose to address by randomly tweeting about it. Other blue cities do not have the same prosecution and no papering issues as DC; our rates are much lower. |
Fix the prosecution issues for far less money. |
Besides arresting the uber eats drivers, what else are they doing that makes you feel so safe? |
| We can do National Guard while they fix the justice system. The council is responsible for the broken system and does not even think it is broken. The council is fine with a justice system that allows 1% of the DC population to terrorize 99% of the population. For whatever reason, DC residents are unable to elect responsible leaders, from Ward 1 to 3 to 6 to 8, all council persons are natural born losers. The only fix is to change criminal laws and have fed takeover permanent re court system. |
Right? They're on this forum cheering for higher crime rates. |
“federal hold up by Senate Democrats”. Fixed it. |
