Opinion A safer D.C. starts with a smaller police department
Washingon Compost ^ | 4/29/22 | Tamika Spellman

Posted on 04/29/2022 11:20:50 AM PDT by mcenedo

It’s not surprising that D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) is attempting again to increase the D.C. police force at the cost of real public safety. What is disappointing is the lack of scrutiny given to her claims.

Where to start?

When even the morons/liars that subscribe to this rag think the views expressed in the opinion piece are idiotic, one might wonder why it was published, but then this is the Compost, so, mystery solved.

When confronted with choosing between recommendations from its own commission or demands from the Trump-like mayor

Who knew that the female, black DC mayor was "Trump like".

I am a little confused.

This man?/woman? was a "sex worker"? I'm not sure what gender he/she was trying to pass herself/himself of as, but I can understand why being a sex worker might not have been very good choice.

I say, just rid of the entire police force. Just let citizens handle things. I can’t guarantee that it would be entirely safe for everyone ... but I think there would be fewer criminals.

Maybe she’s referring to the January 6 police riot.

Yes, and safer parachutes start with much flimsier material and less cordage, and fewer stitches-

Cars are safer with less wheels, no steerign wheel, and no brakes

bicycles are safer with no chains, no pedals, no handlbars, and far fewer supports etc

WP logic

A safer DC starts when DC starts taxing people who work within Washington DC whether they commute there or not.

DC also has within its confines, 26 or so separate law enforcement departments with jurisdiction.

It is SO simple to look at the changes in PD sizes vs crime rates in all cities. The data refute this idiot’s claim. But liberal nazis don’t ever believe in cause and effect, they never look at the data.

“Just let citizens handle things.”

Used to be “Peace Officers”, keeping the peace because the Citizens would get out of hand with their revenge.

Now?

They play like a Paramilitary hit squad.

Photos dressed up in all the Tach Gear, with the Xeroxed copy Goatee, and Helmet with shades, or the Sunglasses above the Ball Cap.

Douchiest D-Bag look of all time.
About as cliche as the baggy pants idiocy.

Miltarized? You bet.
You’re just a “Civilian” now.

They are not on your side.

Big tent and all that...

Jail does not and will not rehabilitate anyone.

Maybe not, but it makes it safer for those of us not in jail.

What a jackass/buffoon.

Here is what is happening in DC after the BLM/Defund the police movement in past 2 years:
- Increase in homicides 2 years, most in 15 years.
- Carjackings have effing skyrocketed, increase of 200%, thats correct. DC area folks now alter their driving habits when in the city
- Every violent crime category has increased; rapes, sex crimes, assaults', robberies, etc. - Record number of residents have moved out of DC into neighboring MD and VA
