    That's when there were about twice as many murders in the city as there are now.

    We were passing through one of the ghetto areas. It was probably late 80s or early 90s.

    We pulled up to a red light late one evening. All of a sudden police cars pulled up behind us and on one of the crossroads. Cops jumped out of the cars and were cocking their shotguns. I have no idea what we drove into but I told the wife and kids to get on the floor and I floored that Chevy Blazer and ran the redlight. There was something going on on that street corner and I wasn't sticking around to see what.

    Unlikely that Trump was involved? I think it’s almost a certainty that he was involved.

    Trump and Epstein were sued for allegedly raping a 13-year old in Epstein’s Manhattan apartment.

    You actually believe that they won’t hire more police officers? The solution is to change the policies that have been put in effect that allow criminals to be put back on the streets with barely a slap on the wrist.

    Sounds like you stumbled onto the set of “big trouble in little China”…

    Since DC is so bad does this mean that all federal workers will be able to work from home? If not should they be receiving hazard pay?

    If you are running a city with a challenging budget, what is the downside of having free help and stiffing the taxpayers from other states with your crappy budget shortfall? Seems brilliant that Libby Trump is pushing a national police force! Screw the 10th Amendment.
