DC AG tells angry locals his department 'cannot prosecute and arrest our way out of' crime spiral that saw Trump official shot during carjacking that killed second victim, and 60 car break-ins in 72 hours
2024-02-01
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The nation's capital is currently suffering a major crime wave, to which city officials including DC AG Brian Schwalb have offered no adequate solution

  • The number of DC carjackings - many of which are violent - has skyrocketed more than 600 percent in the last five years

  • One such incident on Monday night left a father-of-two dead, and a father-of-three in critical condition

#11  Meanwhile in NYC: In New York City, five illegal aliens acting as a pack of wild dogs were caught-on-camera attacking two NYPD cops in Times Square. They were tracked down and arrested. However, after appearing in court, they immediately received bail.

As noted by the NY Post, “Footage of the incident on West 42nd Street shows an NYPD officer and lieutenant telling a group of migrants to move along before a scuffle breaks out. The officers sustained kicks and punches as they attempted to wrestle some of the individuals to the ground.”

In an update, after receiving bail the five assault criminals have now hopped a charity bus heading to California to avoid prosecution."

#8  That is actually the way to fix it. Plus a healthy dose of executions for the worst crimes.

Will no one rid us of these Soros AGs?

#6  "cannot prosecute and arrest our way out"

We interpret this to mean "It would be political suicide to arrest all the Personses of Obvious Color committing crimes".
The good news is you do not have to. Crime is one of those things with a Pareto distribution - 20% of the criminal population commits 80% of the crime. Take the worst of the worst offenders off the street, and you take a big bite out of crime.
The bad news is you have to stop pandering and actually do your job.

#5  Maybe it's time to look at population density thresholds for these urban centers. Maybe people who don't have a job or demonstrable legitimate business within the city limits should be excluded from those areas.

I can hear the howling now...

Re-arm the public and do not prosecute proven to be Self Defense incidents, is my suggestion.

#3  If you "cannot prosecute and arrest our way out", what is that you do? Is it just shakedowns?
