    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.

    Did the service members that went to Los Angeles finally get paid? Trump stiffing people on pay

    This is just the felon Trump trying to normalize using the military for partisan gains.

    The next time the felon wants to Stop the Steal enact a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election, our sadly already compliant populace will be even more tolerant of his un-American and criminal aims.

    So you got lost in the hood at night? That hardly seems DC specific.

    For those that do not live in the DC area, here are a couple other examples of what it is like to live in DC and parts of PG County:

    Giant does not allow people under the age of 18 into their stores after 6 pm unless accompanied by an adult in order to prevent shoplifting.

    New rules at Giant grocery stores target teen shoppers and bulky bags

    There are a bunch of people illegally driving dirt bikes and ATV's on the roads of DC but police cannot stop this because the District has a No Chase policy.

    The Snopes report does not say that the girl was not raped by Trump and Epstein. Just out of curiosity, do you believe that the 30 or so women/girls who came forward and said that they were sexually assaulted by Trump were all lying? Also, do you believe that the girls in the Miss Teen USA pageant who reported that Trump walked into their dressing room while they were naked or partially naked were all lying, even though Trump admitted to doing so on the Howard Stern show?

    My guess is they will strip the corrupt police department down to the studs and rebuild it to be an example of what police departments should look like in all our big cities.

    If one were to put together a list of the best ways to try to deal with teen crime, bringing in the US military would be the last item on the list or, more likely, not on the list at all.

    The best way to deal with it is to end the no cash bail system that is in place in DC, yet the DC Council refuses to do that. They have also failed to take actions that would stop the ATVs and Dirt Bikes riding on the roads.

    The real question that I have not seen anyone ask or get answered is if Trump's team is able to change some of the policies the DC Metro Police have that prevent them from taking action on things like the ATVs/Dirt bikes. I do not think there is anything they can do about the no cash bail but I wonder if they will decide to charge them with federal crimes and hold them a federal facilities to avoid that.

    Can you please give us examples of their corruption or are you just saying things that you really know nothing about? *
