[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As understaffed as MPD might, I think they have a pretty good track record in terms of responding to and solving violent crimes and apprehending the suspects.  There needs to be more proactive community policing and crime suppression.  Policing Metro is much more problematic when there are random assaults by groups of individuals under the age of 18, but even then a significant number of high profile assaults have resulted in arrests.

Arrests, but no charges.  Not that much deterrence.  [/quote]

I thought we were debunking the BS that is the "Ferguson effect," not discussing whether prosecutions (or lack of same) have a deterrent effect.  Off the top of my head I'm not aware of any high-profile cases where there was an arrest but charges were dropped by the US Attorney except where juveniles were the alleged perpetrators or the victim couldn't positively ID a specific assailant:  [/quote]

All the high profile instances of groups of teens attacking strangers on the metro were juveniles.  Also, groups of teens attacking people outside the metro in DC are all juveniles.  [/quote]

Most teens are by definition juveniles.[/quote]
