CNN

Not sure how you can read the below text and get “moderate” out of it.



quote:

In the first week after the White House effectively seized control of Washington, DC’s police force and deployed federal agents and troops to the district, the city saw a moderate drop in reported crime — and a far larger surge in arrests of immigrants, a CNN analysis of government data found.

In the week beginning August 12, the first full day the Trump administration had control of the Metropolitan Police Department, property crimes dropped roughly 19% compared to the week before, and violent crime dipped by about 17%, according to the most recent public data published by the MPD.

Those trends vary widely by types of crimes, however. While robberies and car break-ins were down by more than 40%,



It gets better.

quote:


There have been two murders since President Donald Trump signed his executive order taking control of the department, which is consistent with recent weeks in DC, though none since August 13.



August 13 was 10 days ago.

According to Chat GPT, this is only the 3rd streak of 10 or more days without a murder in a decade.

The overall effect of troops on the street
won’t be known for another couple of
weeks at least. With this much media and citizen protesters on the streets the thugs
are laying low…

It sounds like "laying low" translates to not committing crimes, which is, of course, the entire purpose. Much like the recent ICE activity, it isn't just about actively catching criminals, but also getting them to not commit the acts in the first place.

When have the thugs layed low during any previous protest events that resulted in lower crime #s?
Any data to back this statement?

DC has had weeks of protesters before. That's not the reason.

> So the thugs are afraid of getting bad media attention???
> and they don't like being amongst the "protesters" who are protesting against the increased policing??

= makes no sense

Isn't it more logical that they are laying low BECAUSE of the increased ENFORCEMENT presence??

Remember, these are the same propaganda puppets who willingly submitted their questions in advance for Brandon's infrequent press conferences so his staff could rehearse him on his answers.

The corrupt, bought-and-paid-for corporate media is part of the corrupt Political Establishment.

They float the “DC citizens are terrified of national guard occupation”

Yeah the criminals are probably pretty scared

No doubt a massive change.

I am curious if you will see increased crime in Baltimore or other nearby cities and crime will be easier in other nearby locations.

I bet you will see i slight rose in crime in some nearby areas.

Why do people like yourself exist? Trump is turning a shithole into a place where people can walk outside and not worry about getting robbed or shot and here you are, the thugs are just laying low because of the protests. I just think at this point people like yourself just throw stupid shite on here to get a rize out of common sense people.
