Since a disturbing rise in violent crime has become impossible to ignore in Washington, D.C. the city’s mayor is trying to correct the problem in the only way possible. Hiring more police. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is advocating to hire at least 170 new police officers after previously pushing to defund police departments across the city.
According to The Washington Examiner:
The Metropolitan Police Department normally brings on 250 new officers a year, though in fiscal year 2021, top brass was only able to gain 42 officers: 21 cadets who later become recruits, 12 reinstatements, eight senior officers, and one leadership official after local leaders in June 2020 voted to slash $15 million from its budget, Bowser said. Since the dip in hirings, members of the force have been working overtime to make up for a lack of officers.
“Right now, I have directed MPD to use any overtime necessary to meet our public safety demands. But we know that is not a complete solution or the right long-term solution,” the Democratic mayor said in a statement on Wednesday. “We also know we need all of our officers to be fresh, rested, and in the best position to make good decisions — and that requires having a full force to meet all of our community’s needs. The department is in a good position to make additional hires and move swiftly to close the gap between attrition and hiring, and that’s what this plan is going to help us do.”
The slash in funding prevented MPD from hosting “any recruit classes at the Police Academy this year,” even as residents “continue to ask for a strong, sustained” law enforcement presence amid a perceived rise in “gun violence,” Bowser said.
To support the hiring of officers, the mayor will send an $11 million supplemental budget for the purpose of training and hiring 20 additional officers in fiscal year 2021 and another 150 in fiscal year 2022.
The budget increase will have to be approved by the city council. The move after the nation’s capital has seen a drastic spike in homicides and violent carjackings.
off topic maybe, Based on the scientific evidence, the narrative that “unvaccinated people are viral factories for more dangerous variants is false”, Just as antibiotics breed resistance in bacteria, vaccines put evolutionary pressure on viruses to speed up mutations and create more virulent and dangerous variant * Viruses mutate all the time, and if you have a vaccine that doesn’t block infection completely, then the virus will mutate to evade the immune response within that person. That is one of the distinct features of the COVID shots they’re not designed to block infection. They allow infection to occur and at best lessen the symptoms of that infection* In an unvaccinated person, the virus does not encounter the same evolutionary pressure to mutate into something stronger. So, if SARS-CoV-2 does end up mutating into more lethal strains, then mass vaccination is the most likely driver * So far, SARS-CoV-2 variants are at most 0.3% different from the original Wuhan virus. Such minor variation means the virus will not present itself as a new virus. If you’ve recovered from COVID-19, your immune system will still recognize it
Muriel Bowser should also tender her resignation as well since defunding the police threatened the welfare of her citizens, she is not fit to hold the office of Mayor if she pursued policies like defunding the police. That goes for all the other Mayors and Governors, and politicians who supported that policy. Furthermore, any of the prosecutors in cities like LA, St. Louis, NY, Philadelphia, etc. that released violent criminals back into society either by shortening their sentences or providing them no cash bail should also tender their resignations immediately. Your job is to protect your law-biding citizens first and foremost, you negelcted that duty and should step down.
I suspect the Dem mayors of those cities have gotten their marching orders–if the Dems hope to gain votes next year they have to reverse gears and slow down the crime wave they foolishly created. Democrats and Rinos are beyond hypocritical behavior. We see that charlatan Biden singing the same tune. Now he claims he NEVER advocated to defund the police. And he calls Trump a liar–starting to think Dementia Joe and his son Hunter “Pickasso” Biden invented lying.
This is the exact argument for impeachment of Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and Schumer. They should all be charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced for not enforcing immigration law and protecting us citizens from criminals and diseased aliens who are crossing our borders. Instead of preventing illegal immigration they are facilitating it by moving these immigrants from the border to interior states.
globalist puppet bowser is involved in the fbi CRIMINAL organisation and capitol police allowing libby snow flake sheep wearing MAGA hats and MAGA shirts invading the capitol .
If I was a cop knowing she supported defund the police I will tell her she can take her job and shove-it where the sun don’t shine and then tell her to kiss my A-s
Mayho Bowser: “That’s all we have to do is hire to former levels if the crime spikes”. Yeah, sure, so long as you offer 10 year, no-cut contracts, supra-wages, and 4 months vacation per year, as a hedge against your political whims and wanton ways. Or … you can hire scum who wouldn’t qualify for the police force in Bogotá. Now gee, I wonder which you will choose, as if that weren’t the plan handed to you to begin with ? Snark, snark.
Dahh! This mayor and all the council should be recalled and/or fired. They possess zero critical thinking skills or the abilities to foresee the consequences of their actions until it’s devastatingly to late. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM AND ALL THOSE IDIOTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO DID THE SAME THING!!U
globalist puppet, demonrat criminal party and globalist puppet, rino criminal party must continue to accept globalist puppet $oro$ bribes and obey his orders will globalist voter fraud will not reappoint them .
Defund the Washington DC mayor’s office.
Nothing will change as long as these clowns stay in office. These cities need to do what California has done with their favorite Gov. until this type of elected official is removed or not elected in the first place this silliness will continue.
No matter how many police the globalist puppet, demonrat criminal party hires they still won’t allow them to arrest their libby snow flake sheep, criminals .
Vigilante time then OK hows that
Can’t say that I feel sorry for DC or Bowser. If I were a police officer I wouldn’t remotely consider signing on to bail them out knowing how little she and the other dimocraps there think of law enforcement.
Oh sure. Defund the police. Then when things get rough. WHER ARE THE POLICE
If there weren’t so many globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep, criminals . . . . .
Boy, like we couldn’t see this coming! All the BLM and defund the police b.s. will now be swept under the rug like it never happened, and in a few months all will be totally forgotten, like it never happened. Americans’ are about as stupid as stupid can be!
You conveniently chose to confuse Americans for globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep who are as stupid as stupid can be .
Muriel BowWow is the same moron that allowed “Defund the Police” to be painted on the street in the District of Corruption along with “Black Lives Matter” just a year ago. Why the sudden turn around? She needs to be defunded and sent packing.
……AND for MY TAX MONEY….. BUILD MORE PRISONS IF THEY NEED MORE SPACE TO PUT THESE CORRUPT POLITICIANS AND THUGS IN !!!!! And YES HIRE MORE GUARDS – IT ‘LL BE WORTH EVERY PENNY.
globalist puppet, barry soetoro and his husband big MIKE built enough f.e.m.a. camps to hold all globalist puppet; demonrat criminal party and rino criminal party and Americans will volunteer to guard they don’t escape .
have a question for those who elected/re-elected democrats in their cities, states that are experiencing higher crimes rates: have you figured out when your number is up for a senseless, possibly deadly crime happening to you? after all crime is happening 24/7; has risen dramatically in a lot of democratic controlled cities, states; lawlessness abounds; DAs not charging, prosecuting criminals and when they do the liberal democrat controlled justice system lets them off….
