Trump Launches Investigation Into DC's Faking of Crime Statistics

I voted for this.

This is fraud. This might even be a "conspiracy to defraud the American people," a charge used to jail J6 protesters for "parading."

Lock. Them. Up.

And make them rat on the higher-level Democrats who told them to fake the stats.


Just weeks before President Donald Trump announced a federal takeover of the Washington, D.C. police, the Metropolitan Police Department quietly settled a retaliation lawsuit from a whistleblower who alleged the crime statistics were manipulated.

The lawsuit, which has been part of public court records for years, has garnered renewed attention as part of a growing body of evidence that the city of Washington, D.C. may have a more widespread crime problem than official statistics would suggest.

The president's political opponents and city leadership cited those official numbers, which show an approximately 30% decline in violent crime since 2023, as evidence that the federal takeover was unnecessary. However, both the whistleblower lawsuit and the ongoing disciplinary proceedings of a suspended captain accused of manipulating statistics have called those numbers into question.

President Trump accused the city of providing false crime statistics to improve its image and to give a "false illusion of safety." He also seemed to confirm that the Metropolitan Police Department and city government will be investigated over the allegations.

"D.C. gave Fake Crime numbers in order to create a false illusion of safety. This is a very bad and dangerous thing to do, and they are under serious investigation for so doing!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday.
Whistleblower filed suit

...

Sergeant Charlotte Djossou, a 20-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department, filed a lawsuit against the department and the city in 2020, alleging she was subject to retaliation from leadership after blowing the whistle on several department policies.

According to her official complaint, the army veteran and police sergeant filed reports for years about practices at the department from 2014 to the time of her lawsuit, including allegations of improper--and possibly unconstitutional--searches, racial targeting, and improper reclassification of crimes to improve performance metrics.

Djossou asserted that senior officers often manipulated crime statistics in their own districts because improving performance on the metrics is directly linked to promotion potential and suggested the issue was widespread in the department.

"MPD has a long history of trying to distort crime statistics in Washington, D.C., including downgrading felonies to misdemeanors," Sergeant Djossou, claimed in her October 2020 complaint.

Responding to directives from senior leadership "to show the largest reduction in crime statistics," Djossou says "MPD improperly reduced crime statistics by downgrading a number of felonies to misdemeanors, so that there will be "fewer" felonies in the statistics."

This happened for one reason, the sergeant claimed. "The promotions of MPD captains and commanders are tied to the size of the reduction in crime statistics in their districts."

In mid-2019, Sergeant Djossou first observed MPD officers classifying felony thefts as misdemeanors. Despite express directives from higher authorities earlier that year that any theft involving stolen goods valued more than $25 should be classified as felonies, Djossou said captains and officers downgraded felony thefts that could not be solved as misdemeanors.

"The result is that felony thefts were now being recorded as misdemeanors, solely because the theft could not be solved, regardless of the dollar value of what was stolen," Djossou's lawsuit reads.

Djossou brought her observations to a commander, which resulted in the reversal of over 100 misclassifications back to felonies. The sergeant alleges that she faced retaliation for her disclosures soon after by means of a poor performance evaluation, the court documents show.

CNN's communist bag-lady Dana Bash is attempting to make some kind of "Trump just wants to punish black and brown people in DC" argument by pointing out that lots of (Democrat-controlled) cities around the country have a crime problem.

Okay, we'll do them next. Are you happy, Dana?

20 The under-reporting happens in small towns, too. A couple of years ago, my catalytic converter was stolen. The cop who came out strongly discouraged me from reporting it, said it wouldn't do any good, told me they didn't think they'd ever catch the thieves, told me how many people had reported thefts.

Like, Denver admits to having one of the worst auto theft rates in the country. Knowing Denver as I do, I can guarantee two things:

1.) Auto theft is much worse than they are admitting, and

B.) They are only admitting the auto theft problem is bad to divert attention from the much bigger lies they are telling about all other forms of crime... "see, auto theft is a problem, but on the whole, this is a pretty safe city."

He has used the recent London terrorist attack to urge Americans to support Mr Trump's travel ban on six majority Muslim countries and claims it "might stop" the next jihadi attack on a major city.

But when asked if he agreed with Ms Hanson that Islam was a "disease" that nations need to "vaccinate" against, he said if we outlawed the entire religion, we will lose.

"I've long taken the view we should be deeply intolerant of sharia law," he said.

"But I've also long taken the view that if you go down the route of say Geert Wilders in The Netherlands, who says he wants in that country for all the mosques to be closed for the Quran to be banned and for an entire religion to be outlawed, then we will lose.

"We have got to try to get [moderate Muslims] on our side."

71 Uh, hate to break the news to Trump, but EVERY deep-blue shithole city fakes their crimes stats, as a matter of official policy. For example, Oakland is a total joke. The police don't even bother coming out to any 911 call for most low-level and even medium-level crimes. Burglary? Someone break into your house and you call 911? Tough luck. They might send a cop over the next day to take a report, which will get filed away and never investigated. Car theft? Don't make me laugh. Shoplifting? Not even counted as being a crime. Every night, there are gun battles on the streets, shell casings everywhere, blood on the pavement -- but no one cooperates, even the victims drives themselves away and go to hospitals in different cities. Cops just stand around scratching their heads, mark it up as a "public disturbance."

And even when a criminal DOES get caught and briefly jailed, he is let out almost immediately and "charges dismissed" by leftist judge, so it doesn't count as a crime.

Rinse and repeat for every ghetto city in the US.

77 CNN is basically advocating for Trump to INCREASE federal law enforcement nationwide.

They pull up maps showing that there are other violent cities in America, questioning why Trump doesn't look at them. Then, they even show where Trump could increase his force in DC.

Do they know what they're doing? If Trump sees this and gets the itch to expand, I think they'll eat their own words quick.

117 Daily Mail

A secret gay sex scandal has rocked the Republican Party as married men and a sitting member of Congress have been accused of sleeping with male escorts — even as their party thunders about traditional family values.
In candid interviews, young, muscular sex workers in Washington DC described a booming business fueled by Republican officials, from state lawmakers and high-powered lobbyists to federal government staffers and at least one congressman.
The revelations come as the GOP faces renewed scrutiny over its hypocrisy on homosexuality — publicly championing the traditional nuclear family while privately indulging in the very behavior many Republicans denounce.
One DC-based male escort described having a two-year relationship with a sitting Midwestern congressman who, during that period, had multiple serious girlfriends.
The 29-year-old sex worker with 'boy next door looks' described dinners at downtown DC eatery Butterworth's — a popular MAGA haunt — followed by 'late nights,' he told the Daily Mail, on the condition that neither man was identified...

Again, look at Denver. They've gone full Soviet and refuse to report about the crime officially or through local media. "EVERYTHING IS AWESOME, COMRADE" is all you ever hear from the media there.

So a group of people there started reporting on it through X, and the Mayor ordered a secret investigation of the account. The police union got pissed and leaked about that. So the investigation stopped.

So then, the Denver Post (which is paid millions annually by the DPD in "rent" for office space in their little used building) ran a hit piece doxxing everyone they could identify who was associated with it.

It's how they roll.

We will see. Certainly far superior than Reagan on domestic issues. His foreign policy challenges though are far different than Reagan's who focused on winning the Cold War.

Trump has multilateral issues in trade, ending wars, and backing down a rogue China. Neither Reagan nor Trump are particularly gungho about sending our troops overseas to be bloodied for no reason. I hope Trump keeps our troops out of Ukraine in any peace settlement as well--Reagan's deployment of troops to Lebanon to save the frigging PLO resulted in a debacle.

144 This is always the leftist playbook. Always. The whistleblower, the individual who reveals the problem is the problem. The problem isn’t the problem.

You’re the problem - for noticing. “We Fucked Up. Therefore You Must Be Punished”

The classic example in less than recent US history, though maybe the most far reaching, was the treatment of Senator McCarthy and crew. A complete and utter campaign ensued to destroy him. The investigations were hijacked not to investigate the well documented allegations that communists had infiltrated the highest levels of government and manipulated US foreign policy toward (Russia, China, Korea, Yugoslavia) the communists, instead they were deployed against anyone who was raising awareness.

146 Trump has multilateral issues in trade, ending wars, and backing down a rogue China. Neither Reagan nor Trump are particularly gungho about sending our troops overseas to be bloodied for no reason. I hope Trump keeps our troops out of Ukraine in any peace settlement as well--Reagan's deployment of troops to Lebanon to save the frigging PLO resulted in a debacle.

They have been caught over and over calling clearly non-white suspects "white" in the description, not just in a BOLO but the official paperwork. They downgrade crimes so they don't seem as bad.

Its all about two things: lowering crime stats so they look good, and reducing the number of black criminals in prison because they are convinced that the only possible reason that blacks could be overrepresented in prison is racism.

I suppose if another party wins next election, they can change it to 35 in the same way? Germany is proceeding to ban the most popular party in the country to prevent any fix to their problems.

241 If a newcomer gets a majority they can do as they like. There are no legal bars worth speaking of in the system and Labor has already tossed custom out the window. Parliaments are massively unstable if more than 2 parties exist. We are seeing the collusion of parties to deny reform all over Europe and the UK.
Posted by: Oldcat

Most of Euroland is parliamentary voting without primaries. So party lists by leaders determines who gets to run in what constituency. Then you have proportional representation which is even more divorced from actual geographic constituency representation. In those nations, party leaders have a ranked list and those that get seats are above the proportional cut off line--e.g. your party gets 6 percent of the vote, you get 6 percent of your rank order party list as members of a Parliament.

There are also some hybrid but first past the post single member districts picked through popular primaries are rare outside of the US.

US political parties are more for branding and fund raising consortiums than ideological which is why the Uniparty usually holds sway until it fails either a catastrophe like the ACW or one party fades away like the Federalists.

Yeah, but that's true anytime you lose weight. Bodybuilders take trenbolone and other drugs to prevent muscle loss on a cut, and they're working out the whole time.

So he had an autistic temper tantrum and stomped and shouted and promised to hold his breath until he turned blue, but after a couple of months he realized no one was paying much attention to him anymore, so he flipped a switch in his head and said "ok never mind, let's just all act like that never happened."

It's like George Costanza going back to work after he quit.

280 But burning those little kids along with one of the last decent black neighborhoods in the city is a little extreme, even for me.

Now lets talk about the FBI, the ATF, and the Branch Davidians.

The fire wasn't accidental, and the Davidians didn't set it.

That's "gaol," my friend.

Brits like words to resemble "gay" as much as possible.

Plus Koresh used to walk alone into town on the regular. If they wanted to grab him, they could have. Instead they wanted an example.

Oh, I'm sure the day she saw those cops burning those kids was the most arousing day of Janet Reno's life. Whatever unfortunate lesbo she was dating probably got pegged to death that evening.

286 There isn’t enough time and there aren’t enough DOJ personnel to prosecute every D criminal.

That’s why God made lampposts.
