It won’t do anything. Most of the recent issues stem from USAO declining to prosecute and federal judges letting arrested criminals run free + hamstringing the police/prosecutors. [/quote]

Our councilmembers are elected to represent us. [b]They should be relentless about pushing[/b] got this to change, not just wash their hands and say “not my fault.”[/quote]

The mayor reported to the Council annually that the majority of felonies and gun crimes were not being prosecuted as of 2018. None of them went to the media, asked the Congressional Committee with Oversight over DOJ to hold hearings, asked the Congressional Committee with Oversight over DC to hold hearings, oh, held hearings before DC Council and got media attention, nada. It wasn't until an anonymous Twitter account/substack published the public numbers and the WP picked it up that Congress on its own held hearings. Graves does dial up the rate when under Congressional or public pressure, then it drops again. [/quote]

Exactly. At the last public safety meeting I attended the councilmember and staff had tons of possibly valid finger pointing. Ok you've identified the problem. Now advocate instead of admiring the problem.[/quote]

They ALL do it, Bowser, Council, USAO, etc. WHO is benefiting from the status quo? It's not the citizens. [/quote]
