You know things are bad when you're not just compared to Baltimore, but when your crime stats make Baltimore look not so bad.

PG County had 18 murders this year.

WOW. Is that for real? PG county is way bigger than DC.

Yup, 18 murders for Current Year (CY) 2023.

A lot of DC’s shootings involve people from PG. So they are coming here to get wild, then they go back home. That trend has existed for a long time, but it has turbocharged again with the rise in crime.

Proof? Or, it never happened. Sounds like a guess to me.

Not PP but this has been a rumor for a long time. I don’t know if there’s data to back it up, though if you look at the arrest info on MPD’s website, anyone who isn’t from DC is from PG.

Ok. again, can you show me a link or some proof? Seems like a racist generalization.

Two theories:

1.) The place with low crime rates (PG) is low b/c all of their criminals are going to the place with high crime rates (DC)

2.) The place with a higher crime rate (DC) has more criminals who attract more criminals.

Seems like #2 to me given the shoddy job of MPD and Bowser. For example:

The bigger, more important here is that crime is way down in most big cities and D.C. is a massive exception to that. There aren't very many places in the country that are seeing crime spike like we are.

You people voted like idiots and gave carte blanche to the party in control. Reap what you've sown.

The city council controls the funding. They are just fulfilling their promise to BLM to “defund the police.”

The spiking murder rate is the obvious and predictable result.

You are simply getting what you marched for, that’s all.

You are an idiot. There is no defunding the police. DC is struggling with hiring police, just like every single large city.

DC does not control prosecution. That really needs to change.

Precisely because leadership in cities like DC has cast police departments as the “boogeyman” and caused morale to crash and talented officers to look elsewhere or quit altogether.

Exactly!

Let's not be romantic. I believe in the police, but there are some really bad actors out there and they are allowed to continue to torture people without consequences.

You are brainwashed. The idea that police are "torturing" people is delusional. If that were happening, there would be rampant civil lawsuits against police officers, and that's just not happening. Unfortunately, however, it is the case that criminals who have miles-long rap sheets can be aggressive and dangerous when police finally catch them, and the police are justified in using appropriate force when they are threatened.

It's just too bad that people continue to misdirect their energy toward vilifying the police when the real tragedy is that black people are killing other black people, including lots of black kids -- and no one is marching in the streets about that. The real "torture" is that lots of law-abiding black citizens are forced to live in neighborhoods that aren't safe for them because criminals can commit crimes without fear of any real consequences.

Love the concern trolling about black people you conservatives love to do. You don't like them, you use them as a political punching bag. FACT...progressive DAs ar e having a fantastic year and crime is lowering thanks to their policies. It will do the same in DC. You all just want to lock up black youth because they scare you. Sure they can be rambunctious little scamps but they aren't dangerous.

Reported all the racists in this thread. Restorative justice is the future, get used to it.

Wow, can't show actual concern for my fellow man because that's apparent concern trolling in the white liberal sphere of things, only white liberals can show concern since they know whats best for blacks. Love that paternalism

Oh, ok. Meanwhile DC council member Trayon White is calling for the National Guard to help secure DC and stop the violence. There are actually black people who are sick and tired of black men killing black men, women, and children. But sure, ramble on about restorative justice and how wonderful it's been for the black community, who are overwhelmingly the victims of violent crime in DC. Your lack of empathy for the victims of crime and the families who have lost the people they love is appalling.

DP. Why not just link to the actual gov website? This looks like it could have false information.
