"I was assaulted because I didn't tip 50% when I bought this muffin at Starbucks and thus I deserved this skull fracture."

That's the kind of violence interrupting we need!

Yeah trying to blame the people not doing the crimes for the crimes is some ish.

Tankies in here are gonna be mad about rape kits putting people away.

I'm guessing 5 years or less. The tryhards usually lose their naïveté around then.

Replace the exit fare machines with full service machines FFS.

Attending Council meetings is completely pointless when the electeds don't listen to anyone but each other. I can name perhaps two that actually listen to their constituents. The rest openly DGAF.

>Are you just here to complain about crime and leave in the next two years cause you did your TDY in DC?

Look if you want to go down the road of how long we've all been here you're gonna end up dying mad. Some of us don't want to go back to what DC was like 20 years ago.

Stop smoking on trains.

OP wants a poll tax/test but for posting on reddit.

Aggro. Likes. Confirmation of priors. ATTENTION

Are you unfamiliar with the layout of M street by the convention center past 9th? Also a solid LOLOL to that helping.

JFC.

1. DBMH will just send the cops because no one is trained or paid to deal with crazy and dangerous. Your boy Allen made sure nothing was transferred to DBMH.

2. Get help.

Tell me you know nothing about Maryland or its history, political or otherwise.

Yeah someone who has never, ever held real elected office but thinks of herself as a girlboss isn't what the city needs.

It's always said "Thank God for Alabama or we'd be last" all across the country but DC isn't doing a good job either. DCPS is failing students and families and setting them up for bad life outcomes. It's absolutely criminal that you can "graduate" from DCPS and have reading and writing at several grades below 12th.

>The rightfully indignant response to 1) should not lead to a "closing of ranks" to acknowledge 2).

But it always does because the tryhards will use anyone and everyone, including kids getting trash education, as martyrs for their own cause. Kids leave DCPS (graduate is too generous) without the skills to succeed and go sideways in astronomical numbers. If the failing individual schools was any other organization they would be shut down.

Charters educate half the city's kids, might be the majority at some point. Maybe DCPS parents should sit this one out.

DC isn't doing much better.

A ward 6 parent is proof of nothing. That could just be chuckles sock puppet.

If you drink IPAs screaming children would be an upgrade.

BarredinDC probably is a better resource.

Lord Jesus and everything. Lots of people driving sober leave their kids in cars on hot days. Come on already.

The French laugh at your puriteen naïveté.

>Should kids be allowed at strip clubs too?

Maybe? Figure staff could use on site daycare.

"In his testimony, Allen also reiterated his stance on combining policing with investments in services that improve District residents’ quality of life."

Yet since then he hasn't added a single penny to DBMH/DOH or any social services agency for mooted alternatives, funded anything that would deploy from OUC calls or set up an alternative to 911 MPD calls. Such a phony.
