DC Police Thrilled That Trump Is Helping Them Fight Crime

As the Democrats and the Pravda Media are having an absolute meltdown over Trump’s efforts to fight crime in Washington, D.C., there is one group in particular who are breathing a sigh of relief: the police in the District. 

BREAKING: The President of the DC Police Union fully supports President Trump’s takeover of the Police Department

“We completely agree with the President that the crime in the District of Columbia is out of control”

MIC DROP 🔥

You can easily understand why. The police are on the front lines, dealing with criminals and victims every day. Irate citizens wonder why they are forced to be victims, and criminals laugh in the faces of police just trying to do their jobs. 

Citing a nonexistent crime crisis, Trump plans to take over the Washington DC police and put troops in the streets of the nation’s capital. Contrary to his claims, violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. @katierogers @campbellnyt @ChrisCameronNYT https://t.co/w101allO91

The current Pravda Media line is that there is no crime problem in Washington–it’s a MAGA conspiracy–and all the usual suspects are screaming “LIAR!” at Donald Trump. It shouldn’t surprise us that the same people who report as gospel the statistics from the Gaza Health Ministry are reporting crime statistics fraudulently compiled by a suspended political appointee at the Police Department. 

The new Democrat talking point has gone out: “Violent crime in DC is down 26%, a new 30-year low!!”

There’s just one problem with that talking point. As we speak, there’s an ongoing investigation by DC’s police union that’s revealed police all over the city are being pressured… https://t.co/8wVcjUk38a pic.twitter.com/hJ17cibkTE

Believe it or not, millions of people still believe what they read in the newspaper and are told by “mainstream” reporters. Peter Baker of The New York Times KNOWS that the statistics in DC are juked–he has the resources of one of the most powerful media outlets in the world–and still claims that there is a “nonexistent crime crisis” in DC.

Even if you believed the phony stats, DC is one of the most dangerous cities in America and, indeed, the world. While not Mogadishu–a place that my own city, Minneapolis, is trying to emulate–it is more dangerous than Bogota, Mexico City, or Islamabad. While no doubt many liberals see the crime as culturally enriching, ordinary people prefer not to get carjacked and assaulted, no less murdered.

Many of the loudest voices objecting to the federal takeover of criminal justice in DC were the authors of the very policies that led to this crisis. To put it bluntly, they hate the police, want them defunded, hamstrung them, and demoralized the police force so badly that the force is understaffed by 800 officers. 

WOW: Scott Jennings says he witnessed a MURDER inside Washington’s Union Station — “NOBODY in their right mind who lives there or visits there…would tell you that Washington D.C. is SAFE.”

Those National Guard troops Trump is deploying–they pretty much get the District’s police force up to its authorized strength. It’s hardly an invasion, and they wouldn’t be necessary at all if the DC politicos let the police do their jobs. 

The current chief of DC police, Pamela Smith, is the former “chief equity officer” whose primary job was overseeing diversity programs.

Why would you ever put the diversity person in charge of a real police force?

We are at the point where it is hardly an exaggeration to say that the Pravda Media and the left are at war with ordinary Americans. It is, I think, an expression of rage that we are not following their lead and have had the gall to elect Donald Trump as President of the United States. 

MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude has a TDS MELTDOWN after Trump announced plans to crack down on crime in DC:

How else to explain the embrace of MS 13 and Tren de Aragua gang members as model citizens–not that they are citizens or even legal residents–and their outpouring of hatred toward law enforcement officers just trying to clean up our streets? They are angry, and want our lives to suck. 

What kind of moral rot must possess you to advocate for violent crime. As you say, you live in Virginia. The people of DC and the visitors to DC should not have to run a gauntlet every day.

As liberals compare police officers who are just trying to keep people safe to slave patrols and the National Guard to fascist troops imposing authoritarian control, they wonder why most Americans are turning away from them in disgust. 

🚨 Fox News’ Trace Gallagher calls out MSNBC for fact-checking President Trump on D.C. crime figures, but omitting juvenile crime numbers:

“As MSNBC was saying D.C. crime was down, they ‘forgot’ to put up juvenile crime stats as if underage crime doesn’t count.” pic.twitter.com/pTENEisi8F

When faced with a choice between Donald Trump and sexual predators, murderers, carjackers, and muggers, the left will always choose the latter. For them it is an easy choice–so easy that they instantly make up phony statistics, howl in outrage, and declare the end of democracy while Trump is still speaking. 

The mother of the 21-year-old Congressional intern who was gunned down back in June just started sobbing while thanking President Trump for taking action to secure DC—so nothing like it ever happens again.

There are a few dissenters from The Narrative™–all of whom were directly assaulted. When the crime hits them, they change their tune, but until that happens, there is no reasoning with them. 

ABC anchor breaks from the Left-wing script and CONFIRMS how dangerous DC is:

“Here in Downtown DC where we work, right here around our bureau, just in the past 6 months, there were 2 people shot, 1 person died… I actually was jumped walking just 2 blocks down from here…… pic.twitter.com/CpvH0FjMFG

The apparent insanity of the establishment left is not what it seems. They are not so much disconnected from reality–they know they are lying when they trot out their phony statistics and fake outrage–but rather are taking part in a coordinated psychological operation intended to convince people of a reality that doesn’t exist. 

Remember that time carjackings got so bad in Washington DC that they started giving out free AirTags to people? https://t.co/tDL3akVXwO

Is it working? Yes, and no. Millions of people have been slowly waking up to the fact that their elite “experts” hate them and lie constantly. But millions more, mostly coddled upper-middle-class overeducated liberals, still believe what they read in the newspapers and magazines they grew up reading. 

Yesterday on CNN, @ddale8 said: “In 2023, D.C. had its most murders in more than two decades, 274 of course, that’s terrible. But it then plunged to 187 murders last year”

“Plunged”! Here are the years with fewer than 187 murders in D.C.: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011,…

There is no denying that Pravda Media and the Democrats are lying to Americans–all it takes is a bit of curiosity and a willingness to spend 15 minutes checking out what they are saying. But most people don’t, and in a sane world, they wouldn’t have to. News sources spewing nothing but propaganda are not supposed to be the norm in democratic societies. 

Unfortunately, we are losing our democracy. Only it is Trump who is trying to save it, not the Democrats or the left.
