Aug 12 - D.C. Police Commander Suspended And Accused Of Altering Crime Statistics - page 3

Lol I already said what I am in one of these threads tonight can't recall im drinking.
and have Instagram bro I'm not white so relax on that. I'm black and Puerto Rican.

But even if I was a white dude Does that diminish or make what I have posted any less? Facts are facts and opinions are whatever you take it as.
I'm not a"Trump supporter" but I do fu#k with Trump on certain issues and disagree on others.


Hold on so you fu#k with me but if I'm a Trump supporter I ain't sh1t.
That's fu#ked up bro.

The homicide rate in 2023 did indeed spike to approximately 39.4 per 100,000, which is very high compared to many major U.S. cities. However, this was a peak, not the norm. In 2024, the homicide rate dropped significantly to around 27.3 per 100,000, a nearly 35% decline in violent crime compared to 2023. So far in 2025 (year-to-date), homicides have decreased compared to the same period in 2024. In 2024, D.C. ranked as the fourth-highest homicide rate among U.S. cities not the highest. Globally, there were at least 49 cities with higher homicide rates than D.C. in 2023, including some capital cities like Caracas and Kingston. So the comparison to “narco-run towns in Colombia” is exaggerated and misleading.
Seattle’s homicide rate of 4.5 per 100,000 is significantly lower but it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. D.C. is a compact urban district with no suburban buffer zones, which tends to elevate per capita crime rates. Seattle covers a broader geographic area with more socio-economic variation. So while it’s helpful to frame context, differing city structures mean they don’t measure crime risk the same way.

Well stated my brother.

That guy is an a$$hole.
He's one of those "I made it so fu#k everybody else" type of people.
He lacks empathy and has a selfish mentality like most people that "support" the Trump administration.
All that money they're wasting locking people up could have went to social service agencies.
They always want to lock people up and put them in cages instead of addressing the root causes and sending in phycologists and therapists or COMMUNICATING with local law enforcement BEFORE invading cities without a semblance of an exit strategy.
Meanwhile almost 300,000 Federal jobs have been lost this year which directly affects many in the black community.
Financial crime is actually way more harmful and pervasive than violent crime because it actually aids in more violent crimes being committed.

Let's not play stupid we both agree DC wanted to rebuild a long time ago and get rid of sec 8 housing and low income units and pushed most ( black people) into MD. places like suitland Landover greenbelt.
Everything is not racist though it's business. Those places they got rid of were nothing but crime infested a$s places Bringing down property value.
It's all green. dollar signs with developers investors and real estate people. They have cleaned it up in certain areas obviously the higher income areas and properties and left alot of low income areas like southeast alone
But once again we can talk all day about things like that but the bottom line is they want crime and homelessness people out of there it's a sore eye and I'm all for getting them and when I say them anybody commiting a crime such as car jacking and robbing or killing anybody wether it's random or targeted because of beef out of there.
The programs people suggested won't work maybe for a select few but it's not the solution. There is no solution other than commit crime do time simple as that if it's petty sh1t like dui or drug addict sh1t ok do the rehabilitation programs but violent sh1t nah you gotta go to jail homie and hopefully never want to go back or you will.
I think putting the curfew on youngins and presence of law enforcement will stop alot of crime. Might be a band aid to the solution but wtf else can you do? Court order people to go talk to counselors and attend group meetings and talk about their feelings after commiting a violent felony which they have been doing lol

Bruh you have no clue what you're talking about respectfully. I lived through this time I witnessed everything that happened there so I know exactly what's going on there. You're not going to win this argument about what YOU think should happen as an outsider. Let me educate you so next time when bs like this is broadcast you can make an informed decision instead of thinking out of emotions. Yes DC redevelopment plan was intentional but it wasn't " just business”. Anthony Williams started this plan based off a lie. He made promises to the community and neglected to fullfil. The displacement of low-income and disproportionately Black residents from D.C. wasn’t a neutral market force. It was the product of policy choices. Programs like HOPE VI and the New Communities Initiative specifically tore down public housing with promises of mixed-income replacements, but many units were never rebuilt at the same affordability level. This meant thousands of residents were pushed to Prince George’s County (Suitland, Landover, Greenbelt), which isn’t just “business” it’s the definition of structural displacement. Developers, the city, and investors benefited displaced residents often faced higher transportation costs, weaker job access, and disrupted community networks. While some public housing sites had high crime rates, research shows crime is not inherent to low-income housing it’s tied to decades of underinvestment, poor management, and lack of services. When those same residents move to better resourced communities, crime rates often drop, which shows the problem wasn’t “the people” but the conditions. Many neighborhoods now considered “prime” in D.C. once had similar crime stats before investment and infrastructure improvements proving that investment, not removal of residents, is what reduces crime. If jail alone worked, we’d have solved violent crime decades ago. In reality, over 60% of people released from prison in the U.S. are rearrested within three years. Successful long-term reductions in violent crime come from focused deterrence (targeting the small group driving most serious offenses) combined with credible exit programs job training, housing stability, and counseling so people have a path other than returning to crime. The “lock them up” only strategy is expensive, strains the court and prison systems, and has diminishing returns.
A visible police presence can deter some crimes short-term, but over-policing in certain neighborhoods can damage trust, making residents less likely to cooperate with investigations. Studies in cities like Oakland, Boston, and Cincinnati show targeted enforcement + community trust building works better than blanket sweeps. Youth curfews are politically popular but have little to no proven effect on violent crime (Urban Institute, 2016). In some cases, curfews shift crime to other times of day without reducing overall numbers, while also straining police resources for enforcement instead of investigation.

Bruh actually from the city I can tell DC is not violent. Y'all looking at this surface level bruh he's basically continuing racist rhetoric that's more harmful and divisive. When he uses the terms like gangs in DC etc. he's speaking to a specific group of people that hold this weirdo black boogyman imagination in their heads. DC doesn't have gangs there so when I hear this sh1t it p1ss me off. These mf that visit here already hold biases against blacks so when Trump do sh1t like this it doesn't help. This action not going to stop anything it just further oppress the communities there. They tried this before it over helps short term it's not a viable solution he's literally wasting funds. All this does is pushes crime to PG county.

They should arrest and charge him then. What's the hold up?

I know a lot about DC and DMV area its been a second home cause of my mother's family my mom's sister that moved there back in like 87 with her man. all through my life growing up I would go there and visit my aunt and cousins my age in Barry farms.

You want the rest of my life story ? Lol let me get a soundtrack to play to listen to for you while youre reading my posts

Saying "let them clean it out" ignores the democratic norms, legal limits, and real data showing crime is down not out of control. Federal military style presence might sound tough, but it doesn’t address root causes of crime, and risks doing more harm than good. FBI Director Kash Patel himself revealed that the U.S. murder rate is on track to be the lowest in modern history, undermining the premise that D.C. is spiraling out of control. Trump’s real motive is more political than public safety driven he doesn't care about none of that it's literally the same sh1t he try to pull in LA during protests such as in Los Angeles when claims of lawlessness didn’t align with reality. Bruh I'm telling please don't fall for this BS he's trying to pull.

DUCE
Cmon you don't gotta defend everything cause you think all it links back to a Trump who you hate. Facts are facts or not let it all play out

He's a POS compromised police officer and caught up to the point he's suspended meaning there is strong allegations of wrong doing and other higher up saying the same. Be honest I don't think he cook the books for political reasons he did that to boost his job and that him and others were doing the same come around yearly qouta time when they check them numbers. Either way he fu#ked up and got caught.
