You are acting as if DC currently has a police/jail focused policy that doesn’t try to address underlying issues.  That couldn’t be further from the truth.  If you want to argue that we need even more resources on the rehabilitation side, I could possibly see that.

The problem is that George wants to move even further from the personal accountability front.  That’s a problem.[/quote]

DC does have some policies and this isn't the right forum to debate the details of them.  Your view is that those programs are great and all we need is more police?  Or the status quo is cool?  I'm not sure where you get that Janeese is absolving people of personal responsibility.  That's not a fact, it's your (misguided) opinion.

I think we should be refining and supplementing the programs that DC has already.  They aren't enough - we should be doing more.  But not just more police.  We already have a very high ratio of police per population.  Let's build up the programs so they work better at helping people.  [/quote]
