Six Months Into 2021 and DC Crime Data is Exactly What You Expect

[Anonymous]

Homicides for the year currently stand at 227 for the year. The most since 2004.

It’s a 37% jump over the last two years from the 166 at the end of 2019.

Still time left to knock off a few more in 2021.

In somewhat surprising news, apparently DC made it through NYE without any homicides. I think the city deserves a pat on the back.

I do t understand all the pearl-clutching. This is just part and parcel of living in a large and vibrant urban environment.

LOL. "Vibrant" = "Murdery"

I love that you think that city life must come with increasing crime rates.

Young people are only doing this because we failed them.

if only we could bring back and fund the boys and girls clubs, provide Midnight basketball, none of this would happen.

Big problem is that summer is just getting started.

It’s not just that crime is up. It’s that the criminals have become much more brazen. The theft of Mary Cheh’s car in broad daylight. The murder of the Uber eats driver. The shooting of the mom and child in Logan. The drive by shooting in Cleveland Park. Criminals know they have the upper hand after all the BLM/defund the police protests. We are not far off from being San Francisco where thief's just walk into stores and take what they want. Wake up people.

This is true. Also, I’m sure many good cops have left and others are checked out. Did you really think DC could allow mass protests and spit in their faces with no consequences?

Funny how the same conservatives who think it's the biggest insult in the world to call liberals "snowflakes" are also the same ones saying "well what do you expect the police to do when people rightfully protest the fact that they murder with impunity, THEIR JOBS?!"

Yes snowflake, that's exactly what we expect you to do. Oh no, people marching with signs TRIGGERED you so much you can't do your job anymore? Sounds like something a beta cuck would say.

No one is saying that the police are "triggered". And the police unions have protected violent and unfit officers for too long. But being a police officer is hard, dangerous work dealing on a regular basis with both the crazy and the venal---people the rest of us reasonably want to be sheltered from. They are now being expected to have perfect judgment in every situation---no matter how chaotic the situation or how little time there is to make a split-second life or death decision. And then, after spending 2020 being treated with contempt by liberals, they watched the right-wing nutjob mob on January 6th (many of whom were also current or former LEOs) brutally attack the Capitol and DC police officers who were just there to do their jobs and saw the Republican politicians who try to claim the law & order mantle pretend that January 6th wasn't any big deal.
Then---let's pivot back left---we have a city council that wants only to "catch and release" violent predators back into our communities.

If you are a reasonable, middle of the road human who got into policing because you actually wanted to help people and be of service in your community---wanting to quit right now is entirely rational behavior.

Through the first week of the new year and violent crime is trending lower than last year. Hopefully these trends continue.

Probably more related to the snow and weather than anything. Less people out and about to carjack or rob.

This is such a depressing idea. Although probably true.

What's that supposed to mean? Blacks just can't control themselves and we should just accept it? I sure hope not.
