No, but it helps to judge first and ask questions later.

Jawando's version of equity is too facile to do any good.   He's in the "no police = equity" [b]instead of doing the hard work of making change from within.[/b]   And doesn't seem to care what the impact will be to communities of color who actually need police much more than wealthier white people.   Map out all the homicides this year, for example....They aren't happening in Potomac.  [/quote]

On what planet do you live? Jawando is the main Councilmember pushing police reform, which folks like you are characterizing as "no police". But in no universe has Jawando proposed eliminating the police department. He actually speaks frequently about how to best track and give police credit for the good work they do, as well as tracking policing data that is in line with best practices.

Also, in case you need a reminder, Will Jawando hasn't expressed interest in running for County Executive. Hans Riemer and Craig Rice have said they're exploring it. Marc Elrich and David Blair have announced.[/quote]

He's pulling school resource officers out of schools because of 163 arrests out of 163,000 students.   Completely ignoring the safety aspect they provide.   A smarter move would have been to change the SRO program from within to address racial disparities.  It's like cutting off your hand because you keep getting hang nails. [/quote]

It is Elrich leading on pulling out the SROs, isn’t it? [/quote]
