It’s a government agency.

I can promise you that it is way more strange/rude/pathetic to criticize someone wearing a baseball jersey to a baseball game than it is to wear a jersey.

They’re at a baseball game bozo. What do you want him to wear? My god, what a lame comment.

Nothing that DC govt has its hand it runs efficiently.

Triple so for organizations that have the whole DMV’s governments involved.

So it used to be a quiet stop then …

You’d think that would be obvious, but then again we’re in DC so maybe not.

There is something seriously wrong with the DC judicial system.

Yeah you’re right let’s just stick with the status quo instead of what could be an easy fix for residents who have been absolutely terrorized over the last decade.

Sounds like you have it all figured out detective pickles.

Obviously not. Google “14th V Shooting”

Glad you managed to figure out the complex logistics of placing cops on a street corner. Now that we’ve gotten that far, to your second point, don’t you think it’s worth trying first and crossing your hypothetical bridge when we hypothetically get to it?

Yup. Been at that point. Just a matter of time til the feds are in. I for one cannot wait for that to start to clean this mess up.

Listen to this person! dc is well known for their accurate reporting on crime statistics. There is no crime increase - it’s all an illusion!

Troll? This is my city I’ve lived here my whole life I think the shootings give the city character. Gentrifiers come here and want to complain. Go back home if you don’t like it!

Yeah that’s one of the reasons I think that they don’t care. Just gonna let them keep shooting each other I guess.

Place a larger-than-necessary police presence (on foot) on that corner. Done.

This is DC culture! If you don’t like shootings, GTFO!

Exactly! Get rid of all of them!

How many shooting have been at 14/V over the last couple years? I wonder why police refuse to care. It makes me think they want this to happen. It would be so easy to stop it. Would they move somewhere else? I dunno, maybe. Isn’t it worth trying though?

Everyone relax, this is part of being in a city, crime is DOWN, we don’t need police. Gentrifiers have no idea what it’s like in DC. ACAB.

Nothing sounds broken here except for you. Buy ear plugs and a sound machine and start looking for your next apartment.

Yes, and then please here everybody pat the back of a true crime apologizer. God bless you righteous sir!

🤘

The mental gymnastics … If dc had its act together on crime they’d have a much better leg to stand on re: statehood. If you’re denying that, let me know.

100%? You sure bout that?
