Nor have I. Which makes me think the police are hiding something. Like maybe he was beaten or tortured while in custody, and they're afraid to show photos of what he looks like now. Or maybe perhaps they're afraid that someone will recognize him as being someone else, and it will prove that police arrested the wrong person.
I wouldn't put anything past police. They are as a group some of the very worst people in our society. We allow them to enforce the laws, despite them constantly proving they aren't worthy of that responsibility or our trust.
I’d take 100 dirty cops over the likes of Anthony Crawford.
Amen.

MPD has 3,500 officers. A lot more than 100 are dirty. Try probably 2,000+.
2,000+ bullies who intimidate and abuse how many people, per day? No thanks. I'll take Crawford. Sooner or later street justice deals with people like that. But cops never get dealt with.
Omg - turn off the tv and pick up a book. You are becoming delusional. If there are 20 bad cops, I’d be surprised. Dc is served by an excellent police force.

I used to think this was a terrible idea. But after a decade of living here, I think it's probably the answer.

It happened before 8:00PM. That's really not late, especially in such a popular dining neighborhood. There would have been plenty of people around. Be safe out there, ladies.

This is one of the saddest stories. I hate it when everyone tries to tell us what she could have done differently to save herself. It is literally a fear that the majority of us have...being killed in a volent way and knowing that we could have been her and ended the same way.
I heard she is being buried in her wedding dress. How sad and I feel for her family!
Holy wow that is so sad.

Really? That's your answer? You think that's fair?
Until now, he hadn't harmed anyone. Yes, he showed signs of mental illness and drug use. Neither of those are reasons to lock up people up for life! Unfortunately, we can't just put people in jail because we think they MIGHT harm someone one day. Because the vast majority never will. Do you think that's fair to all those you'd incarcerate preemptively? Knowing that most would never hurt anyone?
People need to prove they're a danger before you lock them up. Sadly, this man's first "proof" was a serious crime. That's sad. But it's not the rule, and punishing huge numbers of people for the acts of a few among them is inhumane. It's something despots would do, not a society that cares about everyone equally and believes in human rights.

Ask any family member of a schizophrenic. They're all just waiting for the call that someone is dead, either the family or a victim.
My brother was a paranoid schizophrenic who was spiraling downward at age 19. After some off the wall behavior my mother had him committed to a mental hospital and he didn’t get out for a good year and a half. It was not a nice place but it was all therapy, drugs and structure all the time. Not sure how she got him committed - this was the 80’s- or how it was paid for (probably cost 200k?) but he was able to get out and lead a productive life. He has a PhD now and a good long term job and while he’s kinda weird sometimes not been mentally ill all these 40 + years.
What it takes is extensive and intensive treatment. Our country doesn’t want to spend the money because for some reason we don’t care. When some important lawmakers family is affected things change a bit but never enough to truly make a difference.
Perhaps someone can sue the DC govt somehow for not treating this man resulting in the death of their loved one. Get the ball rolling on change?
As a DC tayoayer who will ultimately pay, I think DC government should absolutely be sued if that's what it takes to address the glaring holes in treating and holding the mentally ill until they can function well in greater society. I believe the police chief said something likes "these things unfortunately happen in big cities"- a totally inadequate response when "fortune" has nothing to do with the city itself releasing this guy when they had him under psychiatric care, against the advice of his doctors. What has the Mayor and the DA office said in terms of addressing and fixing these missteps? The council? If it takes suuing, I would think the citizens of DC could file a class action. The body count is insane for the youth offenders they release, plea down etc (many with drug/mental challenges) who go on the kill DC residents.
