LOL, yea let's compare it to a year nobody left there house and bars were closed. Jeez, such brain damage in the right.[/quote]

That number of homicides is the highest the county has seen since the 90s.

But here's the thing.  People don't experience violence equally.    Most of the violence is occurring in small parts of the county -- equity focus areas.    So when you "reform" the criminal justice system and take away both enforcement and consequences, you end up hurting African Americans for the most part.   And then to a certain extent, Latino residents.   [/quote]

Please explain what specific steps have been taken in MoCo to take away enforcement and consequences?[/quote]

Please read the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force findings, which call for a 50% reduction in force in Silver Spring and Wheaton specifically. It also calls for no arrests for “crimes against society,” eliminating drug enforcement officers, etc:

This is the culture in which MCPD works, one in which the council and exec believe that crime will go down if there are fewer officers. Read the report. That language is all through it. [/quote]

So? This has not lead to a random person fighting at a bar in Rockville.

You’re mad about an anti-harassment plan? Have you read about the fiasco known as 3 strikes your out, which increased crime rates? Or stop and frisk? It’s like you people have no education on criminal laws.[/quote]
