🚨 WOW! MULTIPLE high ranking DC police officials are set to be TERMINATED for manipulating crime data, pretending vioIent crime was dropping DRAMATICALLY prior to President Trump's takeover
These people should lose their taxpayer funded retirements.
Multiple DC police officers I've spoken with are VERY happy with this move
For example, in some districts, armed home invasions were written down as "trespassing" instead — a vioIent felony dropped to a low-level misdemeanor, just to cook the crime stats.
(Excerpt) Read more at x.com ...
When Trump was talking about taking over the PD, the media and the RATs were claiming and writing about how crime had become way down and that they didn’t need him to take over.
That was always a lie. The place was a nightmare like many cities now. They cooked the stats.
Pushing idiotic far left propaganda is not going to get you anywhere.
Grow up!
The FBI should be making false crime stats inquiries to other cities such as Chicago, New York, LA, Philadelphia etc.
“I’d been giving warnings for months not to fist pump the low crime stats being reported as though it made DJT look good.
Some did not heed that caution.”
Ummmm - you seem to have “Joe Bidened” the article and came up with something exactly the opposite of what the article actually says.
Maybe you should remove the “logi-cal” from your screen name because it makes no sense.
If you truly believe that crime stat manipulation - which feeds a funding mechanism of which few are aware - suddenly ceased with the election of DJT and/or his efforts in D.C., then I have a bridge that will go well with that fish (but it ain't free).
Hint: The facts expose more fraud. But go ahead and deny it's occurring /s (which helps the leftists who are lying to and fleecing the public).

🚨MAJOR NEWS🚨
13 D.C. Police officials have been terminated for their involvement in the manipulation of crime data.
These terminations are a direct result of the Oversight Committee's work exposing dangerous efforts by DC Police leaders to artificially lower crime rates.
That's not a reason to sneer at people celebrating actual results under Trump. It's validation for those who called out the lies all along.Key facts on the crime drop:Homicides in major U.S. cities dropped ~19-21% in 2025, on track for the largest single-year decline on record and the lowest national murder rate since ~1900.
Violent crime overall (murders, robberies, aggravated assaults) fell sharply across big cities, with broader FBI trends showing 10%+ drops.
This built on a post-2020/2021 spike under Biden-era policies (defund movements, soft-on-crime DAs, open borders). The turnaround accelerated with Trump's return: federal crackdowns, deportations, visible policing, and accountability like firing these DC manipulators.
Your "warnings for months" about not fist-pumping low stats missed the point. The skepticism was warranted for pre-Trump numbers from Democrat-run cities that were notoriously massaged (reclassifying felonies, racial misreporting, etc.). Now we're seeing real enforcement exposing and reversing that garbage.Trump's team isn't just inheriting cooked books — they're auditing, firing, and delivering measurable safety gains (DC homicides reportedly cut in half in early 2026 data).
Celebrating dropping crime under policies of law-and-order, border security, and prosecuting fraud isn't naive. It's rational. Warning people against it while the manipulators get the axe just looks like reflexive contrarianism. The data and the firings are proving the optimists right.
Thank you.
No, it's not, at least not for those who choose not to suck sand. Eventually the facts will bear out - ahem - but progressive city crime stats under DJT have NO BEARING upon his federal policies or vice versa and the fact remains that the belief democrats stopped fudging stats after the election isn't just naive, it's Pollyanna.
I'm done with this thread. Graphics only follow this comment.
No one's "sucking sand" — we're watching accountability in action. Those 13 DC police officials (including high-ranking brass) are getting termination notices right now under the new administration for manipulating stats before Trump took over: downgrading violent crimes, underreporting to fake a decline. That's not Democrats suddenly going honest post-election; it's Trump-era oversight, DOJ probes, and congressional scrutiny exposing the old games.
Your core claim — that progressive city crime stats under DJT have "NO BEARING" on his federal policies — is flat wrong. Federal actions do ripple locally:Mass deportations of criminal illegals remove repeat offenders from city streets. Federal crackdowns (U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro in DC, increased prosecutions) and visible policing deter crime. Support for cops over soft-on-crime DAs, plus National Guard surges where needed.
Results aren't imaginary: Homicides in major cities dropped ~19-21% in 2025 (largest single-year decline on record), pushing the national murder rate to the lowest since ~1900. Violent crime overall (robberies -20%, aggravated assaults -10%) fell sharply across 60+ big departments.
In DC specifically, homicides were cut roughly in half early 2026 vs. prior year.
The "fudging never stopped" skepticism was smart for the Biden-era numbers from Dem strongholds. But dismissing the audited, post-cleanup trends as Pollyanna while the manipulators get fired? That's moving the goalposts. Facts are bearing out: law-and-order policies + exposed fraud + enforcement = safer streets. Celebrating real gains isn't naive — pretending federal levers don't matter in blue cities is. Graphics incoming? Bring 'em. The data's on the side of results, not reflexive doubt.
Sure, take your purse and go home little one.
WTF you talking about Willis? - the article said that folks were playing with the numbers BEFORE Trump ordered the clean up so it would look loke it was the Dems that were getting the crime under control, and he had nothing to do with it.
I trust the Trump admin more than any previous one - maybe you are having a TDS moment - or are just a troll...You mention “ample evidence” that belies the X post, but offer not a single bit of it.
