[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best hope is opposing blocks that result in something like this.

The “reasonable block”:
- Balcombe
- Sayles
- Katz
- Friedson
- Albornoz

The “worrying block”:
- Stewart
- Mink
- Jawando
- Fani Gonzalez
- Glass

The “tie breaker”:
- Luedtke

I’m definitely concerned about the “worrying block.” Kate Stewart’s website says she wants to work to fully implement the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force recommendations. The police are already so short-staffed, and that report calls for further reductions. Specifically, a 50% reduction in force is suggested for Wheaton and Silver Spring, two districts experiencing an increase in crime. I know she’ll have support on this council, so I worry about how this will affect people living in those districts AND how it will affect remaining officers.[/quote]

Sounds like a disaster.[/quote]
yea, let's reduce the police force in high crime areas. That'll teach those criminals.  Or maybe progressives think that the criminals will feel less threatened so they'll be less likely to commit a crime?  I honestly don't understand how their mind works.[/quote]

They are more concerned with people who commit crime than with victims.   That's really all there is to it.    Jawando's last campaign mailer bragged about all the police reform he did, to make the community safe (ostensibly safe from police, but no mention of being safe from community violence)

I don't know about Stewart.  I hear TP Police do everything she says.  She won't have that power at the council level[/quote]
