Heartbreaking stuff. I think everyone should read through the comments there before they dismiss concerns about crime as alarmism. So excerpts:

[quote]It is a legislation problem. My son was murdered recently by a man who murdered someone in 2016 plead down to aggravate assault & got 3 years probation. While on probation he was stopped with an illegal firearm & not detained or arrested which left him on the street to murder 2 people including my son who was an innocent bystander. After being shot there were no 9-1-1 dispatchers available to answer the influx of calls & it took an ambulance over 30 mins to get to the scene where my son bled to death. SM only reports the events, 87% of violent crimes were declined to be processed by the District Attorney. When the dogs died in that flood they addressed the lack of dispatchers at the 9-1-1 call center. What are our tax dollars going to? What are our elected officials doing to keep the community safe?[/quote]

This is a good point. Councilmembers and the Mayor demanded accountability when 10 dogs died in a flood. When a violent felon is released early and murders someone? Nothing. You can talk about how terrible it was that these dogs died on the D.C. subreddit. You can't talk about how terrible it was that this 31-year old father was murdered (the post about his shooting was locked; the _multiple_ posts about the dogs drowning were all left open).[/quote]
