44% fewer arrests, because of a 2.8% budget cut?

I smell a rat.  What I see from those numbers is that 44% of MPD just stopped doing their jobs because they are butthurt over "defund the police" talk that only amounted to 2.8%.   Those cops are in violation of their oath of duty and are fraudulently collecting checks from DC taxpayers.  [/quote]

I don’t blame police for things like this. If they stop arresting criminals, it’s for a reason. Like they know the criminals will be out on the streets again the next day so why bother. The issue is the prosecutors, and the laws.[/quote]

There's some faulty logic there.  The laws aren't preventing MPD from doing their jobs.

And let's get something straight here - if the prosecutors don't prosecute, that's the fault of the prosecutors.

But if the police don't even arrest in the first place, that's the fault of the police.

If the police don't like that the prosecutors are falling down on the job, the right answer is NOT to stop doing their own jobs, it's do demand accountability from the prosecutors and to highlight how it's the prosecutors who aren't doing their jobs.  When police aren't doing their jobs they lose all clout and credibility where it comes to shifting the blame.  [/quote]
