[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cops don't do anything. They don't prevent crimes. They don't solve crimes. DC has the biggest police force in the country, on a per capita basis, and I have no idea what they do all day. [/quote]

Correct.

The DC MPD is nothing but a public employment project.  The cops are paid extremely handsomely and they do very, very little.  And if you ever make even the most legitimate complaint, there will be payback: you will receive harassment calls at three AM for a month (I did).

On the other hand, Trump would love to see DC MPD defunded, because that would be his excuse to fully Federalize policing in DC.  That means that we would get the Park Police thugs as neighborhood cops, shooting civilians and stealing personal property.

One reason they do very little is because political leadership has ordered them to stand down. That, plus the personal and career risks of trying to apprehend a criminal when the standard behavior in DC is to resist arrest, attack the officer, and claim racism[/quote]
