Nah, Leftists don’t do stuff like that.
Cough cough...
The will be a warning to some cities and also an reasonable excuse/example for many to ignore local politics and do the right thing.
Congress investigating just how grossly D.C. manipulated crime data
There, fixed it
Thanks for fixing.
Congress + investigation = ....
Of course they did. They refused to process arrests, or told police not to arrest perps, dismissed charges, and threw them out, while lowering the criminal level of crimes they did process, ie., violent felony charges reduced to misdemeanors. There aren’t any crimes if you don’t create a record for them.
Additionally wondering if they intentionally didn't roll units to reported crime scenes when they coulda' (shoulda'?).
Probably were ordered to tell people who called 911 that there weren't any available units to respond at that time.
Congress investigation. That’s all you need to know.
