    So J.D. Vance says homicides were down 35% since Federal involvement and you are claiming they are down 100%. Which is it?

  3. Your logical fallacy: An immediate 90.9% increase in policing personnel will have zero impact on crime.

    That is retarded.
     
  4. So, you think this has zero impact on crime?

    The Metropolitan Police Department currently has 3,076 active officers, which represents the lowest staffing level in 50 years. The department is operating approximately 800 officers below its budgeted strength of 4,000 officers, having lost over 600 officers since 2020.

    Not when most of the police and national guard are standing around the National Mall picking their noses and eating donuts --- rather than going to the high-crime areas.

    This D.C. takeover was never about crime -- it is about Trump imposing control so no protests can happen in D.C. as he expands his authoritarian, anti-democratic takeover of the country.
     
  6. That is the stat that I saw from a local news station: zero homicides in the past 7 days.
     
  7. Huh, well you may want to inform all of the democrats that is the case. According to democrats, Trump is specifically targeting black areas.

    Did the president of the United States of America just threaten to have the mayor of Washington DC murdered?

    'Bad things will happen': Trump threatens DC mayor in middle of the night attack
    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-dc-bad-things-threat/

    Hours after he toured some of the streets of Washington, D.C. for a photo-op, and in the middle of the night, Donald Trump applauded his own efforts to tamp down on crime by militarizing the nation’s capital and then threatened to assume more control of the city.

    On Truth Social, he accused D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser of providing misleading crime statistics, without providing any evidence, and then delivered a warning.

    According to the president, and despite reports to the contrary, that restaurants and downtown areas are suffering from a massive drop-off in visitors, “Washington, D.C. is SAFE AGAIN! The crowds are coming back, the spirit is high, and our D.C. National Guard and Police are doing a fantastic job. They are out in force, and are NOT PLAYING GAMES!!!”

    He then added, “As bad as it sounds to say, there were no murders this week for the first time in memory,” before lashing out at Bowser with, “Mayor Muriel Bowser must immediately stop giving false and highly inaccurate crime figures, or bad things will happen, including a complete and total Federal takeover of the City! Washington D.C. will soon be great again!!!”

    You can see his post here.
     
  10. Yeah, that is what he did. duuuhhhhh

    This is a retarded post.

    I can't believe that anyone is this stupid. You are just trolling.
