    I am certain there are quite a few more than 22 LE agencies. Just the city govt. itself has MPD - Housing Authority - General Services - Public Schools - and the Library Police and likely others. This is before we even begin the alphabet soup game of Federal agencies.

    And 95% of them, along with most of the downtown daytime population, goes home to a different state between 3 and 6 p.m.

    Looks like at least 11 shot in DC yesterday with at least one dead. Maybe The Gangsters Didn't Get The Palmer Stay memo.

    Where did you get 11? I got the 6 people shot in 1D, 1 in 5D, and 2 in 7D. (total 9)

    I'm not saying your wrong, just wondering where the other 2 got shot.....and none of which has been reported a homicide to my knowledge. Although the one guy did get shot in the face, he was alive when he left in the box.

    Im not siding with her but I have no problem saying the city is getting safer thanks to gentrification. The robbery problem is on the rise but thats a social problem that needs addressed.

    Yea, the "robbery problem" is a social problem alright; "unless you're the individual being robbed"...:sad20:

    do enlighten us as to what the issues are then and how they may be addressed. It would help if your posts eventually became informative instead of the constant accusatory.

    It would also help if certain individual's post sometimes do little more than make excuses, under the guise of being informative...:o As I see it; "it is what it is and I stand by my previous statement/s"...

    I'm not making excuses I'm telling you where part of the problem is coming from and again you go accusatory and refuse to offer any solutions or even answer my questions.......you ever consider hanging up the keyboard and sit on your front porch with a cooler of PBR?

    Sounds more your speed since "conversation"......a back and forth exchange of information, isn't your strong suit.

    Your "social issue" response is way to vague to respond to with any specific response, other than the response you got... What social issue are you referring to??? BTW, take your :bs:insults someplace else...

    Not safe at all.
    Man shot during car jacking
    Woman stabbed during car jacking
    Woman abducted held at gunpoint and forced to drive during carjacking
    Not only do they steal the car but they make sure the driver is scarred mentally and physically....reason we should be allowed to carry

    Is she perhaps taking advantage of some of DC's fine medicinal marijuana? She sure seems out of touch with reality. DC is the safest for who? Politicians maybe. Citizens? No way.

    You know how popular music and figures used to speak about and glorify drug dealing? Its become that way with robbery, especially strong armed robbery because its always pled down to theft and assault.

    Sadly enough its become the cool thing to do.

    Yeah, Cool until your intended victims are armed ;) . Very glad to hear the US Attorneys Office is declining prosecutions on many gun carry cases now (at least for regular law abiding types). Is DC under some serious pressure NOT to appeal Palmer???? Makes me wonder.

    LMAO, some boat? I haven't heard that term in 15 or 20 years. I have seen some folks do some crazy sh1t on boat.

    At MCDC a new "tenant" on boat broke a light fixture and removed his man parts with the glass. Thank God I was off that night.
