[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m laughing a bit. Under Trump, DC became incredibly unsafe. Particularly on Jan 6. I think you can see things get less safe, I would expect some capitol police to quit rather than work near his White House. [/quote] [b]That's objectively untrue though. [/b]Crime was relatively low in the 2010s. After covid eroded social norms and progressives became convinced that prosecuting crime is racist, violence exploded. Matthew Graves has gotten better but he only prosecuted 33% of crimes in 2023. Crime and anti-social behavior are worse now than under Trump.[/quote] Actually, it's quite true. In 2017, DC had 116 homicides. In 2020, even though most of us spent the year cooped up in our homes, the number of homicides in DC had risen to 195, a 68 percent increase from the year of Trump's first full term. Motor vehicle theft in DC also rose by about 50 percent during Trump's first term. https://www.crimedatadc.com/[/quote]
