| Good thing only criminals have guns |
I’m a strong Democrat and I fully support stop and frisk. It works. |

So, so sad. The 13-year-old shot and killed on Sunday in Shaw was the same boy whose arrest by Metro cops in June went viral. Mom said it "broke him...He lost respect for authority, to the point where you really couldnt touch him”

DC logic at its finest |
Damn near everybody got a car though and it's been a serious uptick in pedestrian hit-and-runs throughout the DMV. Don't know if the folks walking are on their phones and not paying attention or if the people behind the wheel are on their phones and not paying attention but seems like every morning I'm seeing at least 2/3 stories on the news of somebody getting run over. |
Because conservatives won't let them get the guns off the streets. |

If only we had enough cops...
..Oh wait, we have the biggest police force, on a per capita basis, in the country. |
| Sort of have to wonder what police do all day. They don't enforce the small stuff. Can't remember ever seeing someone pulled over for speeding or cited for double parking or running a stop sign. And they don't seem to do much about the big stuff either. |
| Has the mayor not said anything to address this? Homicides last year were at a 12-year high. Can't remember her addressing this. |
No, it actually doesn't. 9 out of 10 people stopped had not committed a crime, yet it traumatized thousands of people, including my husband who got stopped and harassed by the police in a suit going to a meeting. He said it was the most humiliating thing he had ever experienced and he retired from the Air Force. |
| They should just decriminalize murder. Worked so well with marijuana. |
Hey dummy, the idea is to get the 1 out of ten that was a criminal and if your husband was traumatized by a stop and frisk then he’s got some underlying issues that should be addressed. |
Being racially profiled can cause high levels of stress and anxiety. A Journal of Mental Health Counseling study that found that 81% of African Americans who reported racial discrimination experienced post-traumatic stress disorder. |
That doesn't matter if Democrats support it. |
