[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good, because this is unacceptable:

DC currently has no functional govt and it is anarchy. Congress needs to step in to restore basic law and order.[/quote]

Uh…. thats because DC had a way lower murder rate in 2012 that all those Midwest and southern shithole cities, but guess what, the per capita murder rate in those places is HIGHER than in DC right now.

Actually, DC Justice Lab talking points aside, the fact is that DC is an outlier with its soaring homicide rate. Dropping in all other major cities. Even Baltimore is on a downward trajectory.

I wish someone could get a functional 911 call center for a start, it has led to dead people and this week, dead dogs. The problems are well known but never fixed.

A functional and certified crime lab would certainly help the prosecution rate. It has repeatedly lost certification and has repeatedly missed deadlines for reapplication.

Why is the unacceptable state of the most basic of govt services, underpinning public safety, allowed to continue, year after year? I've been here since the early 90s and after a real upswing in the 00s, DC is sliding back. It's not just crime and the above, DCPS quality is slipping, too. [/quote]

Isn't the DC crime lab basically outsourced to private and federal government labs? So how would giving DC over to the feds improve that? They are already a part of the problem. The GOP doesn't really care about DC crime. They want to take over DC elections. Power is all they care about.[/quote]
