Lol very little police reform? Did you miss the two huge bills recently passed by the council?

DC is ahead of everyone when it comes to reform.

Police reform != criminal justice reform.

The RCCA is literally reforming the criminal code. By reducing almost all penalties. Including for things like sexual assault and rape.

It's got very little to do with police, except having them spend $50 million on retraining. Most of the changes have to do with giving lenient judges more power.

Umm you do know they have a huge police reform bill they passed as well right?

OK so then both were passed. What's that got to do with my response or the RCCA?

Dealing with MPD over major issues last year, I can say they disengage more often now. I don't think that was the lesson for them to learn, but that is the biggest shift they've made. They are highly aware of media optics.

What’s the lesson you want them to learn? They are more passive and disengage to avoid community outrage. Why enforce minor crimes that can lead to horrible outcomes?

I don't know. I deal with a lot of vulnerable people in DC, and I have no idea.

Ok so you don’t know what the lesson was supposed to be, but you know MPD didn’t learn the correct one. Sure.

Just to revisit, the MPD cops told me I had to remove mentally unstable intruders from my own building after several breaking and entering reports from me. But yes, make sure I feel bad about not solving policing in America.

Were you the mentally unstable person by chance?

Umm ok…so MPD is beating and murdering people? Maybe you aren’t from here but for the most part this sub agree that MPD isn’t aggressive: particularly after the reform bills started but if that’s what you want to believe have at it.
