4% of a specific demographic commit 50% of all murders. Fact.
To be fair DC these days is truly “diverse”—a variety of Central and South American gangs enjoy shooting for fun and profit.
Their territories are often measured in a few blocks—and you do not want to enter their blocks.
The DC police have learned to stay away until after the gunfire has died down—then they can paint the sidewalk around any dead bodies lying around—and go home safe.
Cops are not going to risk their careers or lives for a Police Chief and Mayor that does not have their back.
