In Washington, D.C., offenses ranging from violent crime to motor vehicle theft are increasing substantially, with no apparent end in sight.
Everyone has a different explanation for the crime wave in D.C. Republicans and tough-on-crime advocates blame Democratic leaders, such as members of the D.C. City Council or Mayor Muriel Bowser, for a lack of response to the crime epidemic.
Federal officials like Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) believe the problem lies in the district’s inability to govern itself and a shrinking police force unable to respond to every crime.
Washington, D.C., is unique in that it is arguably the slowest city to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, aside from San Francisco, after the public health emergency led to a rise in criminal activity. A series of criminal justice reforms aimed at reducing discrimination in recent years has come under fire for going too far and allowing criminals to avoid arrest and jail time.
That town needs a new marshal and a load of equal justice.
I agree!!!
I work in DC and have my justice provider ready at all times.
