Instead they lied
13 DC police officers placed on leave following probe into allegedly manipulated crime stats

Whats typical??

There's a 53% drop in motor vehicle theft and a 37% decrease in theft from automobiles, there has been 23% less property crime in DC from 2026 to 2025, according to police data.

Though violent crime remains a problem.

Finally you can tell the people that have never travelled, all over the world there is military presence in the streets of large cities because overly liberal cities let criminals run wild in the streets. They don't fix the problems of their citizens who are paying the taxes.

People would rather see a police/military presence, and fountains and statues clean, than burglars and thieves, and paint all over their statues, the fact that this is controversial is just a sickness. People defending the destruction and deterioration of its parks, statues and fountains is the oddest thing to me. They'll proclaim they love America, and complain when things are cleaned up. Just incredible.

My guess this is just political animosity and whining, over the other side doing this. If it was Biden it would proclaimed as the greatest clean up of DC in a Century.

Love your country regardless of who picks up the trash.

That virtue signaling has a civic cost. As I walk by the empty spaces where Early Days and the Christopher Columbus statue and the Francis Scott Key monument once stood, those gaps appear as mute testaments not to social justice and racial progress but to self-righteous folly
