[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is how you get repeat public-disorder offenders off the streets: enforce the laws already on the books.

It does not usually start with one major felony. It starts with the smaller crimes everyone ignores: disorderly conduct, obstruction, trespass, threats, littering, animal cruelty, leaving out harmful items to injure animals, and repeated harassment.

Call every time. Document every incident. Get video when safe. Identify witnesses. Push for every charge that fits. Each arrest, citation, stay-away order, failure to appear, or probation violation builds the record.

If police consistently enforced these existing laws against repeat offenders, neighborhoods would be safer. Ignoring “minor” crimes lets the behavior escalate. Enforcing them early creates the paper trail needed to detain, restrict, prosecute, and eventually remove dangerous or disruptive people from the street.

D.C. laws that may apply:

D.C. Code § 22-1321 - Disorderly Conduct
D.C. Code § 22-1307 - Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding
D.C. Code § 22-407 - Threats to Do Bodily Harm
D.C. Code § 22-1810 - Threatening Injury or Property Damage
D.C. Code § 22-404 - Assault / Threatened Assault
D.C. Code § 22-1001 - Cruelty to Animals
D.C. Code § 22-3302 - Unlawful Entry / Trespassing
D.C. Municipal Regulations Title 21, Chapter 7 - Littering / Solid Waste
D.C. Code § 22-405.01 - Resisting Arrest
Court Orders - Stay-Away Orders, Release Violations, Failure to Appear, Probation Violations[/quote]

Broken windows policing was proven to be a failure 25 years ago. We aren’t bringing it back.[/quote]

A failure compared to do nothing and let them run wild?[/quote]

What is more wild in a broken window scenario: throwing chicken bones on the corner of a parking lot OR attacking police officers with flagpoles and breaking into public property?

A lot of people are mad that when there was justice, POTUS let wild thugs free (and now wants to give them taxpayer money).

At the very least, be fucxing consistent.
