[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quote from WaPo article today:

"Homicides in the District are up 11 percent from this time last year, when the city recorded a decade-high number of killings."

Sounds like policing isn't working.[/quote]

Well policing [b]might[/b] have had something to do with reducing homicides from 262 in 2002 to 88 in 2012, why is it headed for double that 2012 figure this year?[/quote]

Glad you can see that you don't know.  Look at research into what drives crime.  Many other factors, not policing.[/quote]

Just saw gun fight in DC on TV in morning news under blue sky.

Can we ask people not commit crime nicely?  They may listen. [/quote]

Can we appropriately fund our social safety net?  Provide people with opportunities so they have something better to do with their lives than shoot people?  Thanks!!  I'd love to.[/quote]

Are you ok with fully funding involuntary commitment? Maybe call your politician and say so. You sometimes fo have to force people to get help, pr they end uo in violent delusional altercations.[/quote]
