[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newbie here, and I’m trying to understand the complaints about Charles Allen.   He’s a council member, not the police commissioner or the mayor.   Why are people acting like he is solely responsible for this and other incidents of violent crime?[/quote].

He is the face of the crime reform bill- not the part that 90% of people can agree up (updating etc), but the nonsense allowing misdemeanors a jury trial, not making car jacking a separate crime, etc. Please look this up from multiple sources so you can form your opinion. In my opinion, these “extras” were a nonstarter. He has pushed defunding the police, and and has repeatedly been on the side of criminals on every issue.

Right now, despite a double homicide rolling gun battle his Twitter is silent on this huge horrific crime. I would suggest contacting him and speaking to his people. They are clowns. We had one of his deputies come and talk to us about major problems we were having (deliberately not sharing because I hear she’s petty and vindictive) and she was totally out of touch, didn’t even introduce herself to us, and generally sat there uselessly while neighbor after neighbor explained how we needed help on this issue.

To me, it seems abundantly clear that the only thing Charles is seeking is a national profile for himself. He doesn’t worry or concern himself about the issues really impacting his constituents, but you BETTER BELIEVE he is quick with a photo op and a cute Twitter caption talking about “hands off dc”.

And again- two people dead, a rolling gun battle in the streets and Charles is sitting on his hands again. His team’s Twitter is full of tweets talking about how we need to defund the police and push this ridiculous crime bill. He is totally Out of touch and using ward 6 as a platform for himself.
