[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Truly amazing how people elect stupid into office and get stupid in return. Then they ask why murders, robberies, and car jackings are out of control.

You people voted like idiots and gave carte blanche to the party in control. Reap what you've sown.[/quote]

The city council controls the funding.  They are just fulfilling their promise to BLM to “defund the police.”

The spiking murder rate is the obvious and predictable result.

You are simply getting what you marched for, that’s all.[/quote]

You are an idiot. There is no defunding the police. [b]DC is struggling with hiring police[/b], just like every single large city.

DC does not control prosecution. That really needs to change.[/quote]

Precisely because leadership in cities like DC has cast police departments as the “boogeyman” and caused morale to crash and talented officers to look elsewhere or quit altogether.

Exactly![/quote]

Let's not be romantic. I believe in the police, but there are some really bad actors out there and they are allowed to continue to torture people without consequences.[/quote]

You are brainwashed. The idea that police are "torturing" people is delusional. If that were happening, there would be rampant civil lawsuits against police officers, and that's just not happening. Unfortunately, however, it is the case that criminals who have miles-long rap sheets can be aggressive and dangerous when police finally catch them, and the police are justified in using appropriate force when they are threatened.

It's just too bad that people continue to misdirect their energy toward vilifying the police when the real tragedy is that black people are killing other black people, including lots of black kids -- and no one is marching in the streets about that. The real "torture" is that lots of law-abiding black citizens are forced to live in neighborhoods that aren't safe for them because criminals can commit crimes without fear of any real consequences.[/quote]
