Depends. When I was younger, I'd say it was more the fear of police and getting caught that kept me in the straight and narrow. Now that I'm older and wiser, I realize that petty crime is pointless and can understand the lasting consequences of committing a crime even if you don't get caught.

No. I wanted more police when the crime was in your neighborhood. Fully fund the police throughout the city.
Which is what peoole in any neighborhood with crime ask for. Its just the lefty city council and mayor that can't understand that residents seek proactive policing across the city, and prosecution once people are apprehended.
Caucasian code for, "Cops should aggressively stop and frisk every Black male in the city between 10 and 50 years of age".
Take that racist "proactive" bullshit and go *bleep* yourself
You can keep telling yourself that and asking to defund police while gangs shoot up block parties and interruptor events so people (Black people) are afraid to leave their homes or have their kids walk to school. It’s not CCDC that is truly suffering.
Never advocated for defunding. Did I mention anything about funding princess?
No I said that bullshit PC phrase "proactive policing" is just code speak among white folks for, "Harass Black people minding their business".
Nice that you can see right through the internet to what color posters are. What does the phrase “proactive policing” mean to you?

They were crap at solving crime before this. I've been a victim of minor crime in DC, and the police were completely useless. Once, in about 2015, I even had the cell phone of the guy who groped me in broad daylight, and I gave it to the cops, and they still couldn't find the guy. It's not like the cops were doing an outstanding job at solving crime anywhere even before the BLM movement. In 2017 and 2018, police in the US solved less than half of all violent crimes. And if they are unwilling or unable to do their jobs unless they are showered with praise and allowed to beat people up with impunity, maybe they aren't such great public servants.
Exactly. And even if you know who the perpetrator is, the DA refuses to prosecute for most crimes. I was a victim of a hit and run. A good samaritan acted fast and took the picture of a woman who hit me. They were able to find her, interview her and everything. I was told after a few months that it wasn't worth the DA's time to prosecute her. WTF? I had my kid in the car with me.
I live a block away from the Shell station where the latest murder happened. I can tell you that the neighborhood is not what it was 10 years ago.

And yet strong arm police tactics have been shown to reduce crime in various cities. NYC was cleaned up by the police, stop and frisk was effective in reducing crimes before they happened. You have to actually give the police the tools they need to enforce the laws, while simultaneously making sure that any unnecessary violence/abuse by police officers is stopped and punished. The problem is that politicians have it easier to just to throw their hands up, act like they have no control, and provide no support to police nor new regulations to govern them. Defunding police is easy for local politicians because now they have more money to line their own dirty pockets.

Fine, but telling all cops (including minority cops) that they are worthless, racist enemies of us all is unlikely to help matters . . . if you were a cop, would you bother with anything beyond the bare minimum right now?

It's not funding, it's training and accountability, and how the police see themselves. I don't know what they think their job is, but that's not it. We think they solve crime because we watch TV shows where the police work really hard to investigate and solve crimes and are almost always successful. In real life, they aren't working that hard to solve crimes.
Or that there is just so much of it and it actually isnt that easy to solve a crime....

Why don't the police simply cull the security footage from the two fire stations and along with the security footage from Tenley Mart and the Shell station have a better idea of the suspects. Both Wisconsin and Connecticut Ave's are wall papered with traffic cam's, red light cam's etc. Pull all of the footage from an hour before the shooting to an hour after and at least you end up with a better idea of the suspects vehicle if not the suspect himself.
Why are we asking for people to check their home video and call the police. How about the police check the City video and tell us who to look out for.
Because the government and police have no desire to actually enforce laws or apprehend criminals. DC to toilet confirmed

And yet there is another ballot initiative to decriminalize yet more drugs. Hallucinogens. That can't go wrong. Gun toting acid trips, coming soon to your neighborhood!

“Oh dear (clutches pearls) not the crack fueled days of the early 2000s”
You sound stupid the true crack fueled days of DC were the 80’s long before you decided to stop by and gentrify.
Ah, the tyranny of low expectations shows up again. How dare you, gentrifier, demand accountability!?!
I don't know about all that but I know the doofus talking that dumb shit about the "crack fueled days of the early 2000's" sounds like they been hitting the pipe their damn self with that nonsense.
Well, I used to drive home from work around dinner time through NE DC and every couple of days I would pass a swat team pulled up in a random neighborhood raiding a house. But I guess they weren't crack dens. Maybe "freedom dens" or "equity dens." But sure, DC didn't have a crack and violence problem in 2002.
Were you here in the 1980's driving through NE DC?
No?
Then STFU you have no idea what you missed - every couple of days was EVERY NIGHT at one time.
Wait, so? Your point is so stupid.
Your response it equally stupid.
Guess its a tie
