Reply to comment by [deleted] in D.C. Council Prepares To Vote On Overhaul Of Criminal Code by LocalBearEnthusiast

Well, proposing to defund the police surely would not have helped. I would suggest to start with enforcing all existing laws including misdemeanors.

Huh? The police budget was not cut because Bowzer and others objected.

Great, let’s cut the MPD budget and see crime fall. Can’t wait to see the results

So happy too. Can't wait to see how well those Defund the Police candidates do in November. Should be a woke landslide.

What’s the relative proportion of crime that police prevent vs. react to, in your opinion?

Impossible to measure.
