[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would expect at least that our ANC commissioner would not want to defund the police.  Unfortunately our ANC commissioner (S. Siddiqui in 3C05) is a vocal proponent of cutting the MPD force and budget.  That seems totally tone deaf and out of step with his constituents’ concerns, especially with the rise in violent crime along Connecticut Ave.[/quote]

If you read the resolution Commissioner Siddiqui authored that is being labeled "defund" you'd see [url=https://anc3c.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/ANC3C-Resolution-2021-012-in-Support-of-Proposals-by-DC-Police-Reform-Commission-Report-1.pdf]it[/url] only contains support for recommendations made by the Mayor's Police Reform Commission.  While he may be trendy and drawing attention to the need to reform MPD in the wake of massively increasing response times, incredibly bloated overtime, and, as the Office of the DC Auditor and WaP have shown, many officers not fit for anything other than desk duty, calling Siddiqui a "defund" candidate lacks nuance and is myopic.[/quote]

What is”nuanced” about retweeting “Defund MPD”, dismissing DC residents as “cop lovers” and attacking Matt Frumin for advocating the build MPD levels back up?  Sauleh Siddiqui has done all of these.  Siddiqui doesn’t represent his constituents, instead pursuing his ideological agenda over his constituents’ needs and concerns.[/quote]
