[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you. I've lived in NE DC for almost 10 years. I'm convinced the people shouting "defund the police" are privileged. Or wishful thinkers. Those of us who have been crime victims may have a different perspective.

Also, the justice system/DC court system is broken. How is it possible that a drug dealer can be in a residential neighborhood day after day selling in broad daylight when he had 6 prior arrests, one for armed robbery? Something is seriously wrong. Or the guy who broke into our house while we were home and had several prior arrests...on and on. There is a lack of political will to fix the system. Its so much easier to blame the police. How about we defund our city council?[/quote]

It was amazing what it took to get the police to take action against the open-air drug market that sprung up in Eastern Market last year. It was only dealt with properly because it turned out they were on private property, and the community collectively freaked out about it. The drug dealers were able to buy a ton of time by pretending to be a homeless encampment. [/quote]
