That would be wildly, wildly unprofessional. [/quote]

OP here. He 100% said it. I have lived in DC over 25 years and have had many conversations with cops about crime. They are more frustrated than citizens on the revolving door of catch and release of criminals. Over and over.[/quote]

Citizens didn't vote for the decisions of the U.S. Attorney's Office to release criminals.[/quote]

They voted for the Council members who applauded those decisions and tried to rewrite DC's criminal code to make it even harder to punish violent criminals in a move that was so laughably tin-eared that even many national Democrats disagreed with it.[/quote]

Serious question: do you actually not understand what was in the RCC bill or do you find that misrepresenting it helps you avoid the uncomfortable process of confronting your deeply held political beliefs?

The RCC contained a few provisions that realigned maximum sentences with sentences that were actually being handed down, but the main thrust of the legislation was to actually make it easier for prosecutors to win convictions.

You can read more about what was actually in the rewrite here: https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-crime/the-war-on-cities[/quote]

Interesting article. Charles Allen is quoted extensively. Shame he never brought up all the surgeries he's performed or explained why he didn't file a police report the time he claims he was brutally assaulted. [/quote]

What happened to your recall effort?[/quote]

Exactly, we all voted for this, AGAIN.  Thanks for proving OPs point.  [/quote]

Hardly. The recall effort failed to gather enough valid petitions — nobody voted for or against any of this. [/quote]

Ironically, it was very difficult to get signatures in public because residents are justifiably afraid to stand still on the street for fear of getting hit in the head with a brick and robbed.  Also, the roving bands of DSA goons stealing recall signs was not ideal. [/quote]

Sure, my only point is you can’t say the fact that Allen wasn’t recalled to argue that people voted to have cops stop working. [/quote]

I’m not so sure.  The number of my neighbors that still have BLM signs in their windows even after that organization has been largely discredited and after 2 year crime wave is truly stunning.  The police see those signs too and hear the dog whistle loud and clear.  Vote or no vote. [/quote]

There is no “defund the police” without BLM; they are one in the same.  Indistinguishable.

Closely related is the progressive movement:

“Abolish ICE”[/quote]

+1.

There is some D-bag on Nova Reddit trying to get people to disrupt a federl hiring fair at Dulles. These people are ignorant children[/quote]
