DC police leaders face termination amid crime data probe

[David64]

I wonder what people are going to talk about when Trump leaves office. Oh yeah, doesn't matter, this thread is about DC police

Oh, they'll still find something to bitch about till the day he dies and if the thread drifted, thank the Mod who steered it to their usual rant on Right Wing something something something.

But if the stats have been false, decades before Trump, and have had cross-organizational consistency for decades, how could anyone know they are corrupt?

In fact, if the mechanism that verifies and checks for inconsistency has recently and provably been removed, where could these allegations have even come from?

It is clear that Trump is trying to impose martial law so that he cannot be voted out.

There is a history of memo's, directives, an insurrection, and people speaking out (like Bannon and Project25 etc), that Trump is going to try, once again, to stay in office. This time, it will be contrary to the 22nd Amendment.

The only way to do that is to manufacture an emergency, like a massive crime wave, or a war, or invasion (all of which he has used in speeches to describe fairly mundane stuff), to implement martial law and suspend elections. Otherwise, he simply cannot have a third (or more) term.

And he will, most probably, be arrested if and when he leaves office. The rulings are already in place, waiting until his shield of immunity falls. So, there's that.

Again, the bias is fine, but there's nothing showing what you say has much if anything to do with the fake crime reporting in big cities, and resembles a fake comparison at best.  The Martial Law thing is far fetched with no real evidence or even examples proofed, but very very interesting for a short story on a conspiracy forum like I think this is!..

I think we should forward all this to the alleged perps and the investigators of the fake crime stats project especially in D.C.!  

bound to send somebody to the jelly head lockup!

The D.C. Mayor Murial is apparently sure this actually is real!!  


Bowser promises changes to MPD’s crime data release process

District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser on Wednesday suggested officials will reassess all crime data after the city’s police department was embroiled in accusations that it twisted statistics to burnish its image.

Bowser spoke to reporters after revelations that over a dozen Metropolitan Police Department officers were placed on leave earlier this week amid an internal investigation into the scandal. Several top-ranking police officials were terminated, sparking praise from the district’s police union as a “long overdue step toward justice and the restoration of integrity within MPD.” Bowser weighed in as well, saying there would be “repercussions” if investigations determined data was deliberately distorted.

The Mechanics of Misclassification

So, how does this alleged manipulation happen? It’s not as simple as someone crossing out a number and writing a new one. The process is often more subtle, buried in the complexities of crime reporting protocols. For example, a homicide might be logged as an “accidental death” if the circumstances are ambiguous—say, a drug overdose that could be tied to foul play but isn’t investigated thoroughly. This kind of reclassification can happen at multiple levels, from initial police reports to final statistical submissions.

According to urban policy experts, some jurisdictions might face pressure to keep crime numbers low to attract businesses, boost tourism, or secure political favor. It’s not hard to imagine a scenario where a city official, under pressure to show progress, nudges a report one way or another. But at what cost?

Uncovering Truth: Are Crime Stats Misleading Us?

Inclusivity - Hire someone based on their race or sexual orientation because "they deserve a chance" even when they're not qualified.

Be honest - You have a hole in your roof. Are you going to hire a carpenter with 30 years experience or the person with a Gender Studies degree who can't drive a nail without hitting their thumb, just because they deserve the chance ? 

If the damage warranted it, I'd hire a project manager with building experience and I would expect them to hire in team members with the specific skills and accreditations to do work that would reliably last for at least a century.

...and if you can't find a job, get better skills and by that I mean, don't be a one trick pony. Don't put yourself in a niche. A Jack of all trades can always find a job.

I have a Fitting and Machining trade, a Mechanical Engineering degree, an Electrical Engineering degree, 30 years of experience in IT work, from helpdesk into development, project management, I was a Senior Business Analyst, Systems Engineer and IT Manager. The largest project I was the principal project manager on, had a budget of $50 million Australian dollars, and it came in under budget and on time. At the same time, I knocked off a PhD in Astronomy and Physics.

I believe that I have a varied skillset, but I wasn't able to get a job for years, so 4 years ago I decided to semi-retire early. I still look around for work to supplement my income, and go to second interviews etc, but every time they choose someone else (and pretty much every other applicant is younger and less experienced than me).

I'm cool with it, as I'm getting by OK (and it gives me time to write), but there are growing numbers of very qualified and skilled people in my position in all 1st world countries.

The truth is that most companies require very few skilled workers - like less than 1%. The "Protestant work ethic" is largely unworkable and always has been, and automation, computerization, AI and systemization of job skills, are eating away the little that remains.

That is why every economist is talking about Universal Basic Income. There are now more people than there are jobs, and the situation is getting worse.

Any country that bases itself on fantasies about what is going on with its income generation will eventually lead to the maximum number of destitute citizens.

So, they are saying that no-one actually lied, but that it is an error of interpretation and ambiguity.

So, no crime has occurred.

And also, my bet is that such ambiguous occurrences are only a tiny part of the dataset, like less than 1%. And a less than a percent of ambiguity in a dataset doesn't poison the whole dataset and doesn't indicate a different measure of overall crime.

But no-one will mention a value of how much of the data is ambiguous because they can't get their agenda if there is a vanishingly small ambiguity.

Oh FFS!

They fudged the numbers to make progressive, leftist policies loook effective.

Jesus.

Can't we just be common sense adults for 1 fucking minute?

Take your partisan blinders off.  Stop obfuscating.

Deal in facts.

Quoted from Enclopedia.com:

"Although the origins of May Day as an international workers day lay in the United States, it was never an officially sanctioned U.S. holiday because of its associations with the deeply divisive Haymarket protests and later because of its Socialist connotations. Instead, American workers are recognized and celebrated on Labor Day, a September holiday that also informally marks the end of summer. However, as elsewhere in the world, May Day became a focal point for popular demonstrations of solidarity and discontent in the United States as well. This was especially true in the days surrounding May Day in 1970 and 1971."

One does not have to be a communist to celebrate the rights of workers in a capitalist society that favors the business owners.

Things such as an eight-hour working day and 'a fair day's pay for a fair day's work' are not really unreasonable, and are not 'communist', by any means.

But when you are at the extreme right-wing, everything and everybody else is to your left.

That is absolutely hilarious.

May 1 or May day was originally the celebration of surviving Baltain, the most evil night of the year. It is exactly 6 months off from Halloween which is a distraction form the truth. 

That workers holiday stuff was just made up recently in comparison and the communists took it over to spoil that day for America. 

Your history research does not go back far enough.

Congratulations. Seriously. It takes hard work and dedication to get all that.

The only thing I disagree with is the part about more people than jobs { at least here in the U.S.} 

We have over 6 million jobs in the Trades that are going unfilled because young people have been absolutely brainwashed into thinking they need a college degree to get a good job. Automation is not going to weld a pipeline, maintain power lines or build your house.
