[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting to me that no expense was spared to track down a carjacker when the victim is an FBI agent but somehow the rest of us don't matter. There have been 100s of carjackings. And rather than dedicate resources to stop them, they decide to give out airtags instead. So what? So citizens can be vigilantes and track down their own cars and confront violent criminals. Another person on another thread told a story about how she contacted the cops when her car was stolen and watched with them as they tracked the car moving around the city but the cops refused to do anything. what the hell?

They’re not allowed to chase. You voted for the people who implemented that.[/quote]

Pretty sure there was no "chase" of the 17 year-old who stole the FBI's vehicle. They investigated and collected evidence.

So to answer the question not being addressed by anyone: yes, probably 60% of MPD is refusing to do their job. The Mayor and the Council don't say anything because they are worried the remaining 40% will stop doing their job, as well. There needs to be a change in culture at MPD and the USAO's office.[/quote]

I was responding to the PP and the now infamous Washington Post story of the carjacked being tracked.

The Council and DC juries have made it very clear they do not want a muscular, aggressive police force. [/quote]

THANK YOU! I’m sick of people saying this is MPD’s issue. This is what the politicians want. One person’s “police work stoppage” is really “police doing what the politicians actually want them to do.” Politicians do not want enforcement.

Want change? Then vote accordingly. Period.[/quote]
