Please tell us you are not a democrat, OP? (you are a dem.)

You are getting exactly what you voted for OP. Now stop whining.

Uh … no. My Councilmember ran unopposed and I wrote someone in. The last mayoral candidate I voted for was Catania. There are ZERO options for DC voters.

Maybe the Republicans should stop being a trainwreck clown car so people actually take them seriously.

Republicans had ZERO to do with the current council. In fact, Republicans did not support nor run on the “defund the police” platform your party ran on.

Democrats on their own support defunding the police; and gutting criminal Justice laws.

Your party owns his. Time for you to own it. You got exactly what you voted for.

Uh … no. Republicans are the reason guns are flowing like wine. If we had strict gun control - or hell, no guns - we would not have the level of violent crime we are seeing in the city. You can thank Trump and the ridiculous fools on the Supreme Court.

What an utter load of BS!

Democrats hobbled the MPD, curtailed criminal justice laws, and refused to prosecute following arrests.

But you already knew that.

Fines are not enforced against drivers from MD or VA, there is no reciprocity for DC. Even re: DC drivers, few penalties for non-payment, can still renew DL w/outstanding fines and they are NEVER reported to collection agencies/credit bureaus. Drivers cannot get points from camera violations.

We're not gun owners, but it's a shame when people don't have the maturity and self-control to use guns responsibly and not engage in criminal activity. Millions do.

They need to first focus on homicide, theft,rape, assault, burglaries etc before investing more resources on traffic tickets.

Automated traffic tickets are a major source of DC government revenue.

So you're denying that Republicans have made it next to impossible to have common sense gun laws that would keep them out of the hands of criminals? You sound like a Russian bot.

It only takes a few bad apples to ruin the entire barrel of apples. You should have recognized that fact before pushing against every possible common-sense reform that would have made it harder for the bad apples.

What do you mean, 'first?'

Ticket enforcement barely even has anything to do with MPD.

PP here. My husband and I are in favor of more gun control; however, we know many people who own guns and don't commit crimes. It's sad that we need stricter laws because of those who have poor impulse control, commit crimes and have no regard for others' lives.

DC youth who only get a slap on the wrist and are released the same day after committing violent felonies do 2 things:

- they tell all their friends and family what a joke DCs criminal justice system has become and,

- they are right back at it committing more crimes the same day.

The council has broken DC’s system and ruined the MPD for the foreseeable future.

What a joke it is the Council now want the national Guard to clean up the mess THEY created.

Please describe how Democrats hobbled MPD. They have more money than they've ever had and have chosen to enforce fewer things on top of that. We have one of the largest per capita police forces in the country.
