You have insurance, so it's not a problem, right?

Surely you are not stupid enough to think that calling State Farm is the correct response after a thug waves a gun in your face and takes your wallet?

Sure, Karen.

Exactly. I don’t think they care about crime in Chevy Chase because I haven’t seen any national guard walking among the third graders.

You are acting like DC is Texas or Florida. Unless you are out at 3 am with Trans hookers at Logan circle people do not have problems. On a the police were on the scene within minutes and made arrests.

My employee had her car stolen last year in DC. She couldn't get MPD to do anything about it, even when she provided the location. There was an airtag on her car, so her and her husband followed it to where it was abandoned and then drove it away with the other set of car keys. I wonder if there was even a report filed.

Why were you out?

Why can’t someone both not support the administration and believe that crime is underreported in DC?

One can. But one cannot believe any “investigation” conducted by this administration because they are corrupt liars.

I’ve lived in DC since 1987 and these allegations are hardly news to me. I remember when the City Paper’s reporter who did the “crime blotter” got robbed, reported it, and MPD failed to include her own crime that month (as just one obvious example).

What do you think will be the result of the investigation here?

Shame, Shame, Shame on DC.

Until recently, every victim of a violent robbery in DC knew it was completely pointless and a waste of time to report it to the D.C. police.

That is simply common knowledge: the police would not do a damn thing to help crime victims.

So, I agree with that also. I’ll concede it’s just anecdotal but my personal experience chatting with various beat cops around the city is that there are citations they don’t bother to write because they know they won’t get prosecuted. With this administration there are sometimes seeds of truth that are grossly exaggerated and used to justify reactions that are excessive. I don’t think the winning strategy is to deny that there’s crime that should be addressed.

NP.

DC has long had a major crime problem, which no White House has addressed, and which the D.C. city counsel addressed by making crime much worse.

Until now.

The people that submitted the data will be demoted or fired.

Wait until you discover that housing is so expensive because it’s filled with illegal immigrants and people from other cities that receive vouchers paid for with your taxpayer dollars.

Here we have Trump, who has a felony conviction for lying about data, having a tantrum about allegedly inaccurate data. It's not like his goal is to find out the truth.

Bondi lies all day everyday.

Shame on Trump for lying about the labor stats. It's also like when Desantis refused to report the covid numbers. If you don't report it, the numbers don't look as bad.

This is not just a Trump, Browser thing. Even within our company, they tweak the numbers that they report so that it doesn't look as bad.
