[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’ll stop all these shootings, as well as the car break-ins and other nuisance crimes.

Bravo, DC. [/quote]

Police here don't stop shootings/ crime in any way. They respond to calls. Ask any current MPD officer. More opportunities and resources in communities do.[/quote]

Responding to calls is what you’re going to have here *after* proactive policing stops. It’s already been greatly reduced in the wake of the BLM protests, with cops increasingly sitting back and not getting involved until called, with the corresponding uptick in crime stats to prove it.

Now that defunding them is a reality, that’s going to become even more pronounced, and you will absolutely see the current spike in crime accelerate.

Fine with me. Makes my close-in suburban home more valuable as people will start to flee the city in a couple years, looking for places like where I live. I’ll be moving in 5 years, and expect this crime trend will add a hundred or so thousand more dollars to my home value over the next half decade. [/quote]
