Someone said it starts with leadership and I'm starting to think it's with the DC police union leadership.

Nope. The cops aren’t the problem here.

When arrests are massively down from where they were, and in a way that is completely disjointed from and disproportionate to budget cuts or anything else that has happened, that makes it the fault of the police.

Prior to 2017, USAO consistently prosecuted 70+% of arrests, across R & D administrations. Graves declines to prosecute up to 67% of arrests, basically inverting the ratio. It's the fault of the USA.

Lack of prosecutions is the USAO's fault. But lack of arrests is MPD's fault. Stupid of MPD to make the USAO's failing their own failing.

If the USAO's resources and bandwidth are being sucked up by J6 prosecutions then maybe the White House should help with more staffing.

Not to worry, that USAO office will have a lot more bandwidth exactly one year from today. Just hang on a bit longer.

Maybe because pretending that the police are the biggest problem facing the black community was a convenient red herring used to deflect attention from some more inconvenient, less PC problems.

Which you proposed to solve how??? oh that's right you got nothing.

One thing is clear: making it less desirable to be a police officer, and making existing officers scared to do their jobs, has not helped the black community.

Being a snowflake and not doing your job of policing because some randos on the internet said some mean things has not helped the black community.

Meanwhile, immigrant delivery drivers in DC are not allowed to avoid high risk neighborhoods while being carjacked, robbed, and murdered.

I'm voting for Nikki Haley. I figure she will clean things up domestically and internationally. Only decent candidate on either side that I can see. Tell me differently.

She’s clearly better than Trump. But so is …. everyone else on the planet?
