[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city council and other states would not be afraid of increasing their local police cadet programs and recruitment if there was no such thing as police brutality. We have watched and continue to watch armed police officers assault and brutalize the civilian population while absolutely not really going after violent criminals until after the offense has been committed. I distinctly remember the Uvalde school shooting, where grown armed police officers left children and school staff to fend for themselves. Yet they had artillery to take out one man. MORE POLICE DOES NOT = PROTECTION! The Supreme Court has already ruled that police officers are not necessarily obligated to put themselves in harms way for you. [/quote] Every time Harriet's Dreams spams the board/thread, call or email a CM and make sure regular citizens and PARENTS, not activists who may not even live here and who are likely funded by DC Justice Lab, have OUR voices heard. Encourage friends, neighbors and acquaintances to do so as well. Repeatedly. Even if they don't reply, even if you are in W1 or W6. They do tally the messages and even Nadeau and Allen voted for Pinto's bill in June. This script has had FAR too much sway with the Council, also in the pocket of DC Justice Lab, who not only has largely drafted recent crime bills, but also talking points for CM and their staffs. We need to make the message, "ENOUGH", clear. Far too many homicides, far too many shot black kids, far too much violence citywide and degradation of quality of life. They have invaded a board of concerned parents and have shown us EXACTLY what activist narratives the Council has been controlled by in getting to the status quo. Act accordingly to counter with common sense. https://dccouncil.gov/council-directory/ You are not only represented by your CM but also the chair and the 3 at large members. If you work in DC or come in for entertainment, dining, tourism, etc., make your voice heard too, to Mendelson and at large members. Expressing support for Pinto's efforts would also not be misplaced. [/quote]
