The bosses are manipulating the stats.

Any questions?

I have a question. If you are behind a car with questionable tags - clearly expired, probably printed at home, for a different model of car - are you allowed to pull them over? I believe many posters think MPD doesn’t want to do their job, but I suspect policy or guidance discourages it. It seems to me many other crimes are facilitated by fraudulent tags.

It requires special training to identify expired or invalid tags. Do you have it?

I could. But Id rather not risk my pension for it.

The policy of beheading us for split second desisons leads to us not taking risks, like proactive traffic stops.

Police in Maryland have told me they don't do traffic violations like they did years ago. They have too much other crimes to take care of. They don't chase any speeding cars or motorcycles anymore unless they committed a felony. A lot of policemen retired. They have a massive shortage of officers working. The Government is not backing them up either.

IMO, the only reliable indicator of violent crime is the murder rate. Being murdered is a more objective indicator of crime that is less subject to manipulation and underreporting.

IMO is a very different qualifier to “everyone knows”

I doubt many women would agree with you that rape doesn’t count.

What is the evidence that crime is anymore u deported in DC than elsewhere?

Rapes are significant underreported, murders are not. The underreporting rate for murder is very low.

Will be happy to be very wrong but I suspect that his highly divisive politics and dumb economic policies will lead to a new surge in crime …


“A year-end analysis of violent crime in the District shows the rate of violent incidents is at a 30-year low. According to a presentation from the U.S. Attorney's Office, violent crime overall has dropped 35% over last year, from 5,215 incidents in 2023 to 3,388 so far in 2024. Homicide is down 30%”

This is blatant misinformation.

Aren't you risking a bit more than your pension? One officer got charged with murder for driving 30 mph while a guy on an ATV fled and crashed.

It’s amazing that crime isn’t even worse considering a cop was charged with murder because a drug dealer can’t drive.

Not even Fox News itself is questioning the data or the crime drop. It’s real.

Fox News doesn’t have my sources. It’s all bogus.

What does the President have to do with it? I thought the car jackings were caused by the fact that most 11 yo boys are dumb plus know they won't get in trouble even if they point guns at people. They call the cars "free cars."
