Is there a police and FBI strike? Where were they?

I saw it on the various DC crime twitter accounts but I was surprised that it didn't get picked up by the local news. Doesn't seem to be any outrage over it. Sad.

It's not perception, it's reality.

A man who beat his 5 yr old to death was recently released, without even GPS monitoring. The police affidavit was lengthy but USAO requested his release, without a monitor.

I have a different idea. How about we start with prosecuting and punishing violent offenders.


As someone who lived in NYC under Giuliani I think we can do both. Is it easy? No. Will it be worth it? Yes.


Um... it's actually pretty easy to stop the under 26 free pass.

If your primary solution to violent crime is ticketing eating on the metro then you just might be part of the problem.


With this Council, AG, soft on crime fed appointed judges and soft on crime fed career prosecutors at USAO? What is the “pretty easy” answer? Realistically, what?


None of that involves arresting perpetrators. MPD is under the purview of the Mayor.

The law changes, as stupid as they are, apply to sentencing.


MPD does make arrests, many are quickly released by federally appointed prosecutors and judges. Catch & release is the status quo, not an “easy answer.”

A perception that is reality, sadly.

Maybe parents should do their jobs first?

A kid was shot on the green line at Gallery Place, was not even esp late. My office had an evening event down on Wharf recently, things like last night make me nervous being down there and taking metro tbh.
