DC THE TROOPS THAT NEVER WILL LEAVE

@specman it was down and dropping and now .. he will claim victory over crime.. which was the lowest over the last 20 years

@specman crime was down Trump is inventing chaos so he has a purpose

@markinkansas Of course that ignores the investigation into the veracity of those crime stats.

@SumKindaMunster great read. i like ap... this is interesting to watch..

@markinkansas Yes and obviously this should caution you about trumpeting that crime stats are down, maybe just crime reporting is down.

@SumKindaMunster when you fire all the people doing that work .. doge makes it harder for the rest of us

@SumKindaMunster Looking at total numbers of violent crimes since at least 1991 reported by D.C. police, Snopes found the 2024 number was at its lowest since not only 1995, but at least 1991. (The city has not provided a crime rate per 100,000 people for 2024.) Based on FBI numbers, Snopes found that the violent crime rate for the city had reached its lowest level since 1966 ... i like ap and trust it i like this and trust them.. interesting to see how

FACT FOCUS: Trump exaggerates, misstates facts on Washington crime

@markinkansas Unless of course, its like I said, they juked the stats to make them look lower.

You can't really say until that investigation is completed and they are exonerated.

@specman did you just say this is overkill then admit you don’t know what you’re even talking about ?

@AthrillatheHunt it would have to be really bad to do that. I was simply asking if it was really that bad.

@specman but you condemned it before knowing about it by calling it overkill

@AthrillatheHunt I believe to have the national guard and police on every corner is overkill for any place in America. Besides it ain’t stopping crime , but pushing it to other places. Kinda just making it safe for the politicians there
