Yes, but there has to actually BE a state of emergency.

Well, we have a bunch of tiny terrorists running around killing people. There you go, made that easy for the President.

I don't think you know what a literal police state is... that's part of the hyperbole that got DC to the point we are at now.

Setting up police checkpoints to stop every vehicle for proper papers leads to ID'ing of drivers and passengers and searches of vehicles. Things authorities do in police states. It's also blatantly unconstitutional. Ask Cathy Lanier.

But for what purpose? The National Guard cannot address the crime lab back ups or prosecute crimes. This is a really dumb thread.

This thread is the end result when the intellectual lightweights who comprise DCUM get together and try to solve serious policy issues instead of discussing whether their husbands are pulling their weight or not or if a $20k vacation to Disney is enough to have a good time.

I love it when worthless people with nothing contribute actually think they're smarter than others.

This isn’t an answer.

National guard or more police won’t do anything when the real problem is a lack of consequences even AFTER these people are caught and arrested.

You can rob or murder someone in front of a police station if you know that you’ll just be released after you’re arrested.

Idk. Carjacking is problem 1. They can't prosecute because the car passes through multiple hands by the time they locate it and for whatever reason they are reluctant to charge the person they find IN IT with carjacking when a few days have passed. National guard barricades could stop the jackers in the act. It would be a good deterrent while the city sorts out the above. It would also be embarrassing as F to our elected officials and maybe galvanize them a little to do some of your meritorious suggestions, A** hats that they are, they don't seem to have much get up and go on the crime crisis currently.

You talk about crime crisis like it is a thing. Your opinion doesn't constitute a reality. There's no accepted definition for a crime crisis; even if there were, the District would not meet the definition.

Plus stop the ATVs!

Love that this struck a nerve.

It would work like this - we call up the El Salvadoran President and ask him for the blueprint. We build a super prison in 4 months. Call up the guard. Anyone found to have broken any law that is a felony or against lifestyle straight to super prison at any age. Like in El Salvador the crime plummets and is en par with Canada. The end.

So DC has money to build a prison and an arena, but no money for housing and wraparound services?

DC has a ton of money for wrap around stuff. That’s all they have been doing. That and yellow paint and family & friends nonprofit salaries.

Super prison can be built privately and provide a ton of jobs and be an economic multiplier. We could turn the convention center or the FBI into it since these important HQs are never coming back onto the Skid Row that is that area.

I would though fund it by abolishing the Council and the ANC, their staffs, and nonprofits of their families. Just a personal preference.

What’s so awesome about his bad things got is that no one cares any longer. Get called racist, gentrifier, republican a few too many times even when not white and borderline socialist, and the effect is swift. No one gives a fig any longer. And you will never get a vote or a $ out of me ever again or support for any cause that isn’t maintaining the quality of life at a level of a major Western city.

Private prisons are only interested in young, healthy, adult low-level offenders. They won't solve your "problem." They tend to make it worse by pushing for short, mandatory jail time for low level offenses resulting in a revolving door.
