[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s so ridiculous. I watched four teenagers crash a (presumably stolen) car yesterday and then run off without any consequences. I called 911 and walked my dog behind them and told police exactly where they were with great description… nothing. Officers were sent out to the site of the vehicle. It’s so frustrating  and honestly unfair to these kids that they don’t have consequences of their behavior at an age where they can still change. [/quote]

That is really frustrating. They need to make the standard of evidence more reasonable--ie if you are in a stolen car you'd better have a really good explanation. I also had heard they disbanded the car theft task force because they decided it was 'racist' (apostrophes to indicate I don't agree) in the sense that statistically mostly black kids were getting arrested. This could be wrong, but I believe we briefly had a task force and more coordination with VA and MD and then disbanded it. Anyway, if we don't know what the city is doing in response to this crime wave then the messaging has failed- which can only bolster further crime.[/quote]
