But they can't get these violent men off the streets because of the judges. So people die in the meantime.
It's a problem. And it's a big reason why Democrats lose
Why is it so difficult for Democrats to get violent men off the streets?
The feds are responsible for violent crime in DC. Trump has made our streets less safe because thousands of people have left DOJ and the qualified prosecuters have quit.
And MPD officers are now charged with accompanying the National Guard — whose numbers have increased, leaving fewer police officers available for doing their original jobs. So, if and when crime increases it will be blamed on the District rather than on the all-too- predictable results of Trump’s policies. And this is happening as prices continue to rise and people are becoming increasingly stressed — if not desperate. I get why so many of Trump’s civilian staff have quietly moved themselves and their families to housing on nearby military bases.
