Media and Democrats try to claim a 35% drop in DC crime 2023-2024 is a trend in DC, when it’s just year over year and it’s more like a one-hit wonder song. DC crime is down only about a third of that, 13.6% and violent crime is down 16.8% since 2019, the year before everything went haywire due to pandemic lockdowns in 2020. Plus there are a lot of problems with the DC data including cooking the books accusations, as we reported last week.

Crime spiked higher in 2020 especially violent crime (particularly homicides) amid mass unemployment from pandemic shutdowns, school closures, defund police, delayed court cases amid court shutdowns, jails reduced populations to stop infections, and routine policing decreased due to infection risks.

Plus the DC Metropolitan Police Dept. has been accused—particularly by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP)—of instructing officers and supervisors to downgrade serious offenses, such as aggravated or felony assault, to less-severe charges to make it appear that “violent crime” is decreasing.

MPD Commander Michael Pulliam was placed on administrative leave after accusations surfaced that he altered crime statistics in his district.

And there’s this: The Daily Caller says DC’s official “violent crime” totals exclude other forms of assault, like aggravated or felony assault not involving weapons.

These omissions can significantly understate crime levels, as FBI data (which include a broader range of assaults) shows a much smaller decline in violent crime.

FBI data indicates only a 10% drop in violent crime for 2024, not the 35% claimed by the city, due to MPD’s narrower assault classification.

The California Department of Justice report is being used in a “name-and-shame” effort against GLOCK, Inc., and their popular handguns.

WATCH JUVENILES IN DC strategizing what crimes to commit—between armed robbery, armed carjacking, and murder—since they're too young to be tried as adults.

“He's saying he'd rather commit murder than armed robbery … armed robbery is what we're doing!”

This job isn’t clean. It’s not easy.
It’s raw, loud, and often thankless.
But you didn’t sign up for comfort. You signed up for impact.

Ignore the Panicans and Trust in Trump.

Wages are rising and inflation is low.
 
President Trump’s America First economic agenda is working.

Criminal illegal alien gangbangers have no place in America under President Trump and Sec. Noem.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons discusses ICEgov’s incredible work to remove the worst of the worst.

Monday evening, August 11th, at around 10:05 pm, Deputy Flores was standing in a parking lot on South Florida Avenue in Lakeland, when she noticed a gold Chevy Corvette pulling out of a parking space while doing a burnout (intentionally spinning the tires to create smoke and obnoxiously loud and unnecessary noise).

Then the Corvette began a controlled skid sideways, resulting in more ridiculous smoke and noise.

The Corvette stopped for a moment, did another burnout, and then began to drive away.

Deputy Flores conducted a traffic stop.

The driver was identified as 46-year old Alexander Malykhin of Lakeland.

Malykhin was belligerent and uncooperative with the deputy.

What motivates a 46-year old man to behave this way? Perhaps it was the Yingling beer he said that he had with his dinner.

Malykhin was unsteady on his feet, his eyes were bloodshot, and his speech was slurred. He was also armed with a handgun in his waistband.

A field sobriety test produced numerous indicators of impairment, and Malykhin was #ArrestedByThePolkCountySheriffsOffice.

At the jail, Malykhin provided two breath samples at 11:23 pm, revealing a breath alcohol content of 0.089 and 0.083 G/210L.

Alexander Malykhin was charged with: DUI, Reckless Driving, Resisting without Violence, and Having a Firearm Readily Accessible While Under the Influence of Alcohol.

Lieutenant Patrick Libertone
EOW August 12, 2014

Lieutenant Patrick Libertone tragically passed away on August 12, 2014 from a heart attack while conducting a traffic stop on a reckless driver who had cut him off at the intersection of 68th Street and Hammer Avenue in Eastvale, California.

After a brief exchange with the driver, Lieutenant Libertone began walking back toward his patrol vehicle when he suddenly collapsed on the sidewalk. An off-duty paramedic who witnessed the incident immediately rendered aid, but efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. He was transported to Corona Medical Center, where he was later pronounced deceased.

A dedicated member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for 31 years, Lieutenant Libertone served in the Fraud and Cyber Crimes Bureau. He leaves behind his wife and four children, who will forever cherish his memory.

Tom Homan: "If you want to protest ICE, you got your First Amendment rights. But ... if you cross the line of knowingly harboring or concealing an illegal alien from ICE, that is a felony. You put hands on an ICE officer, that's a felony... We will prosecute you."
