Dems Protesting for More Crime as Trump “Takes Over” DC
Dems protesting for more crime in DC is a continual mantra that defies common sense. But when President Trump gave a press conference on DC crime, Dem ‘panicans’ like Hakeen Jeffries called it a “take over” of DC and freaked out. The response was terrific. I mean over-the-top.
In truth, President Trump “federalized” DC police under section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act and deployed around 1,000 National Guard troops to ”help reestablish law and order” in the nation’s capital. He placed the police department under the purview of AG Pam Bondi.
Carjackings and violent juvenile crime is causing havoc all over DC. From a DOGE member beaten and bloodied, to a Congressional staffer murdered, to countless other examples, President Trump said enough is enough. There are homeless tents, broken streets, and a mess that the President wants cleaned up. The FBI, ICE, and the National Guard will be present on the streets as Dems whine about the city being “safe” already. It isn’t.
The truth is that Dems love more crime and the tourists who visit DC, as well as the employees who work there are well aware of the dangers. With the DC police cooking the books, the stats are all messed up. Dems have been in charge of DC too long, and that ends today. Maybe all these Dems should leave their keys in the cars and walk around with no security at night in the city to see what happens. The crime in DC has no political preference – both sides have been targeted by the criminals.
Without getting into the DEI Washington DC Police Chief, or the idiot Dana Bash at CNN claiming the most violence was Jan 6, 2021. Dems are for more crime, not fixing the issues.

Oh, that's right... I nearly forgot - your presidential master requires a diversion from questions so the current waste of money and resources purely for the sake of political theatre is just fine with you, I assume.
@newjaninev2 A D.C. police commander is under investigation for allegedly making changes to crime statistics in his district.
The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed Michael Pulliam was placed on paid administrative leave in mid-May. That happened just a week after Pulliam filed an equal employment opportunity complaint against an assistant chief and the police union accused the department of deliberately falsifying crime data, according to three law enforcement sources familiar with the complaint.
The union claims police supervisors in the department manipulate crime data to make it appear violent crime has fallen considerably compared to last year.
Pulliam — the former commander of the 3rd District that patrols Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights — was placed on leave with pay and told he was under investigation for questionable changes to crime data, five law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation said.
Union officials said there is a larger trend of manipulating crime statistics.
“When our members respond to the scene of a felony offense where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will show up on that scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense,” Fraternal Order of Police Chairman Gregg Pemberton said. “So, instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital or a felony assault, which is not the same type of classification.”
The police department's command staff is focusing on two categories in order to get the numbers to fall, Pemberton said: armed with a dangerous weapon and injured person to the hospital.
“When management officials are directing officers to take reports for felony assault, or if they're going back into police databases and changing offenses to felony assault, felony assault is not a category of crime that's listed on the department's daily crime stats,” Pemberton said. “It's also not something that's a requirement of the FBI's uniform crime reporting program. So, by changing criminal offenses from, for example, ADW bat or ADW gun to felony assault, that would avoid both the MPD and the FBI from reporting that as a part one or a felony offense.”
As of last Monday. crime data shows violent crime was down 28%. Thursday, the department’s website said violent crime is down 25% when compared to the same time last year, and overall crime is down 8%.
“That's preposterous,” Pemberton said. “There's absolutely no way crime could be down 28%. Last year they suggested that it went down 34%.”
