[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question. All the sh#t is trickling downhill from the USAO. When they don’t charge criminals and chronically “catch & release”, it demoralizes MPD from doing their jobs. [b]Meanwhile, the Council sits with their thumbs up their butt [/b]waiting for USAO to put criminals away.

So yeah, how do we fix USAO? [/quote]

This ^ I expect elected politicians to advocate for (ie represent) their constituents. How come you have to do the think work on this? Why aren't the people we elected picking up the phone, leading marches and sit ins, calling the press etc?[/quote]

They campaigned on this. This Council is, remarkably, more left-leaning than the last. Cheh is replaced by pickleball. Allen ran unopposed. Ravine’s hand picked successor was elected to continue his juvenile “justice” practices.

[b]This is what the electorate wants.[/b][/quote]

Not sure I agree there - there was no choice presented re: Allen as you note. Nadeau only won because opponents fragmented the vote. W3 is a disaster but Frumin got in due to last minute shenanigans by the establishment.

I kept thinking there would be some course correction but no sign. Armed robberies in daylight in Adams Morgan Thanksgiving weekend, multiple shootings in downtown, including Dupont, a snatched at gunpoint Frenchie in Brookland and the Council proposes "media vouchers."

As more leave, perhaps shrinking coffers will trigger a change.

Between the crime and the unenforced traffic laws and the nonfunctional 911 call center, it is genuinely dangerous here. [/quote]

A Republican ran against Frumin who I can only presume would have been better on crime. I voted R, but Frumin won :( Obviously my neighbors were unable to hold their noses and vote R. Maybe next time? Or recall Frumin?[/quote]
