City council = BLM?
City council = BLM?
Serves him right to suffer.
His regrets are his own.
I've no sympathy for him.
A lot of the DC counc members are BLM supporters. So is the Mayor.
Nothing wrong with that, but when you propose a budget, parade with BLM protesters chanting "defund police" for photo ops, the cops quit. Which is what happened. Now DC will have smallest police force in 30.years. and the 2022 budget wi have about 70 million $l less. Mostly because so many cops quit.
MPD had reduced hiring capacity because of a decision by city council last year to cut the police budget by $15 million
From the article you linked and probably didn't read.
I'm all for increased hiring, but if the money is going to go to SWAT gear, night vision, etc... better put that money somewhere else, tbh
Who you gonna hire if your cops quit the force because you didnt increase theyr yearly pay and paraded with defund police protesters??
Lol
Not much to story.
Bowser pointed to a cut of $15 million in the 2021 budget for the police department as a reason why the department’s hiring has slowed dramatically. On average, the department hires and trains 250 new recruits per year, compared to 42 recruits hired in 2021.
“I will be sending an additional $11 million supplemental budget request to the council this week to allow for the hiring of 20 new officers in FY21 and 150 new officers in FY22,” Bowser said.

Wonder why hiring slowed when your mayor parades with violent protesters whose main slogan is "defund the police"
Tell it, hater.
Testify!!!
Mayor knew she did not need 250 new trainee hires every year. What is so complex about that?
This also tweeted a video of how to avoid carjacking tips days after an Uber driver was murdered by 2 black carjackers in broad daylight
She had to delete the tweet after 9,000 reply backlash
Gee Wonder why cops dont wanna work in her city
Crime is going to go up
Bet your life on it
What part of not hiring 250 new trainees makes you think people do not want to work there? Again, DC has not had problem filling positions.
You need to move on from #onlyhecansaveamerica
That's the Mighty Kahuna you're ing with, Ef. Don't do it, sweetheart.
It's a money game. If there's money to hire them, it's better pay that flipping burgers at McD...
Cops don't prevent crime and they'e ty at clearing cases. Their contribution to justice and public safety is marginal -- what they're best at is fining and punishing citizens.
Per Alexandra Natapoff, 80% of police interactions with the public are bull misdemeanors with a minimal effect on safety
Yeah we want mcdonald burger flippers armed with guns pattrolling our capital
She just said she needs more money to hire more ppl as DC is turning into Chicago, Einstein
Why do you lie hater?
Per news: Mayor Muriel Bowser said while overall crime rates in the District decreased in 2021, the number of homicides has risen.
What was the rise? 4 extra homicides. Yup, a great rise.
2021 Year-to-Date Crime Comparison*
As of July 28, 2021
Offense 2020 2021 Percent Change
Homicide 108 112 4%
Pearls before swine.
I get it, but the people you are addressing care less about what actually is true, than what feels true, and think all opinions are created equal, regardless of evidence.
No offense or anything. Props for trying.
You are still lying and deflecting about the increasing number of homicides in DC.
So u think only homicides should decide police.funding???
Carjackings are surging, also shootings in daylight and now in "white" neighborhoods.
You are in another planet if u think DC crime ia going dow
