[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bad guys need to: (1) get caught, and (2) go to jail for a long time. Period. End of story. We need to take our city back.

We simply cannot live with the carjackings, property crimes, shootings, and chaos with no consequences for the perpetrators.

Who in local politics can make this happen?[/quote]

[b]The key is getting rid of Bowser.  With her, goes her unqualified Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and the incompetent leadership in the Mayor's Office of Legal Counsel - that is the office that provides legal advice to the agencies. No one in either of these offices has ever served as a criminal prosecutor or has any true experience litigating cases in the courtroom. 
And Muriel hides the ball when you try to get information - look it up the opinion on BEGA (https://www.open-dc.gov/sites/default/files/MOLC%20AO%20re%20FOIA%20Appeals%206.29.2022-signed.pdf) - they were massively behind processing FOIA appeals and then quickly moved the guy who wasn't answering them in time to OAG. Her administration is a total sh*t show.  Despite Fenty's missteps, he picked better staff.[/quote][/b]

Unfortunately, she was just re-elected. The key is to keep pressure up on reforming MPD and in general.  Maybe if she keeps feeling the heat she'll actually do something other than introduce unnecessary criminal laws, roll back police reform, and pass the buck on the crime lab, MPD, and other city agencies she's in charge of.

USAO has said MPD body-worn camera footage raises constitutional issues and they can't prosecute.  Huge HUGE red flag that no one seems interested in addressing.

How she has managed to escape scrutiny, accountability, and getting ensnared in the various scandals that keep keep cropping up in her administration is beyond me. [/quote]
