Trump Places DC Police Under FEDERAL CONTROL, Deploys National Guard

Here in this thread?

Which post?

Nobody in this thread criticized Trump for this. Nobody. You can't specify one post number. What kind of cultist goes around attacking people for imaginary critiques of his idol?

You're sick with it. Dude, pry your nose out of his ass crack already. You really will prefer the way things smell.
As I posted, PAF cross posted this elsewhere as a "bad example" of "police state".





You arguing with nickers about the meaning of the claim crime is down:



And I skipped some of it.
 
Murder rate in DC is down because it has dropped, when compared to say the early 1990s

From eye-poppingly horrendous to just insanely bloodthirtsy.

DC Murder Rate​

The murder rate in Washington, D.C. was 27.54 per 100,000 residents in 2024, according to FBI data cited by the White House. This rate is reported to be higher than that of all 50 U.S. states and comparable to or exceeding rates in cities like Bogota and Mexico City. In 2023, D.C. recorded 274 homicides, the highest number in 20 years, contributing to its status as having the fifth-highest murder rate among the nation's largest cities. The rate has fluctuated significantly over time, peaking at 80.6 per 100,000 in 1991 before declining in the following decades.

So I just took another look at these numbers. From 1985 until 2023, the only year that the number of murders was < 100 was 2012. Who was president in 2012?

That would be him cooking the books.
He was a real leader in that kind of innovation.

That could be him cooking the books. That could be a population being mollified because they just got a president that looked more like them than any president ever had before. That could be something else. That was most likely a combination of things.

The reason you have zero credibility is because everything you see fits your narrative. Since the world is never as simple as any one narrative, that's proof positive that you have blinders on.
 
Media outlets are fact-checking President Donald Trump’s concerns about violence in Washington, D.C., by pointing to misleading crime statistics.

Trump has moved to increase federal law enforcement’s footprint in D.C.’s streets and take over the local police department after a former Trump administration staffer was assaulted by a mob during a carjacking on August 3. Legacy media outlets and Democratic lawmakers responded to Trump’s complaints about violent crime in D.C. by reporting that it decreased by 35% in 2024, citing local police data that leave out crimes such as felony and aggravated assault, thereby making D.C.’s crime problem appear better than it is since the onset of COVID-19 in 2020.

D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) only includes homicide, sex abuse crimes, assault with a dangerous weapon and robbery in its overall “violent crime” numbers that show a decline in 2024. Aggravated assault and felony assault without the use of weapons are left out, despite D.C. law describing them as violent offenses causing bodily injury and despite the fact that aggravated assaults are increasing, according to the FBI.


“Felony Assault does not fall under the D.C. Index violent offense categories,” the MPD told the Daily Caller News Foundation without answering specific questions.

The FBI includes a broader range of assaults in its violent crime data for D.C. based on what local police provide to the bureau. Consequently, the FBI’s data show that the number of violent offenses in D.C. only decreased by 10% in 2024 and remained slightly higher than in 2018.

The FBI’s numbers also show that homicides have remained higher than pre-pandemic levels in the years since 2020, with the exception of 2021, a year when D.C. submitted incomplete data, according to Axios. Additionally, D.C. saw 12% more aggravated assaults with or without a weapon in 2024 than in 2023 and 37% more than in 2022, per the FBI.

Research from the Rochester Institute of Technology also shows that D.C.’s murder rate in 2024 was the fourth highest in the country, above Chicago, Illinois, Atlanta, Georgia, Compton, California, and New York City. The institute’s study cites FBI data, local news reports and individual agency websites.

Trump Misstates Washington Crime Data to Justify Takeover​

Context:​

There were 274 homicides in Washington in 2023 for a population of 679,000 people, a rate of 40.4 per 100,000. That was the highest rate in over 20 years, but the homicide rate has since declined. The number of murders declined by more than half in 2024 to 187. The recent trend of declining homicides appears to be holding.


Dive Deeper:​

  • President Trump claimed that Washington D.C. was experiencing unprecedented levels of violent crime, announcing a federal takeover of the city.
  • During a news conference, Trump and the newly appointed federal prosecutor presented misleading statistics regarding the murder rates in D.C. and crimes involving children.
  • Trump stated that murders in 2023 reached the highest rate ever, but this claim is inaccurate as there were 274 homicides, the highest in over 20 years, but not the highest ever.
  • The homicide rate in 2023 was about 40.4 per 100,000 people, which is significant but has seen a decline since then.
  • In 2024, the number of murders dropped to 187, with a population increase, resulting in a lower homicide rate of 26.6 per 100,000.
  • The trend indicates a continued decline in homicides, with 100 reported as of mid-August 2024, compared to 112 at the same time the previous year.
  • Historical data shows that while 2023 had the most murders since 1997, it was not the highest rate ever, with the peak rate being recorded in 2003 at 44 per 100,000.
 
Speak for yourself. I avoid cities whenever feasible.

Yeah, that's real freedom :rolleyes: Just like people who "don't fly" in order to be "free" :rolleyes:

I'm going to invent a tiny little box [padded on the inside for comfort and safety] where people can just survive 24/7 and sell it to people. Not that this country isn't almost there already.

If the number of murders went from 274 to 187, then it declined by about 32 percent, which is not declining by more than half.

"Homicides" and "murders" are not the same thing.

Murder is a subset of homicide, and the former may increase or decrease relative to the latter. (This distinction is noted @ 7:10 in the video in this post.)

That makes the error worse, not better.

If there were 274 homicides in 2023, then whatever the number of murders in 2023 was, it was fewer than 274.

So if there were 187 murders in 2024, and we know that the number of murders in 2023 was fewer than 274 (without knowing how many fewer), then that had to be a reduction of less than 32 percent. In fact, it might have been a very small reduction indeed, maybe even no reduction at all (if 187 of the 224 homicides in 2023 were murders).

Trump's reason to call an emergency is fake, and has nothing at all to do with crime. Just like his reason to call other emergencies are all fake. These declarations are only a means to an end for him. He doesn't care about the Constitution, and has never even read it. Just last night Judge Nap said Trump told him he doesn't read books, when the Judge in 2016 asked him personally if he's going to read the Constitution since he's going to be President. He said no, and that he has people who do that and tell him what he can do and what he can't do. This is all he cares about. Getting away with as much as possible to achieve his goals which are the goals of a hidden hand. Everything else is a smokeshow.
