DC police leaders face termination amid crime data probe

[chr0naut]

Unfortunately, The Democrat Committee reports leave out the fact that NG presense helped deter as intended. The NG was not intended for actual arrests and hard direct enforcement. The presense works well just like in other cities.  And those guilty officials that are manipulating are likely going to prison. 

So, you are not going to think critically about it, and are going to accept what the first article you read told you?

[chr0naut]

I have no idea how you think any of that applies in this case. It is just falsely reporting a count.

A mistake would be putting the numbers in the wrong column or transposing the digits in some numbers. A simple review of the entries compared to the source of the entries would reveal where corrections should be made before reporting the findings.

Now intentionally changing the numbers in the source count is harder to detect as you have to review what was counted. In this case, that was what was actually done. There is evidence of it.

Again, why do you think intentionally miscounting and reporting something is not a problem at all? Try that with your income taxes and let us know what happens.

As you just pointed out, a simple re-check of source data (arrests, logged name and number plate searches, parole monitoring, financial and tax audit results, location metadata, security footage, logged and retained evidence, court records, etc) would verify the counts.

And then you could publish the true counts, and hey! Presto! Then everyone could have the correct true and verified data right at their fingertips!

You are a genius!

The Soros DA's don't "arrest", so the numbers never exist.

It don't. That's why there's audits and legislative correction.  Like funding cuts.  So why would you say it'd be logical to keep cheaters and liars in positions of power?

I most definitely don't want to keep cheaters and liars in positions of power.

No-one should be held as above the law. It sort of dilutes the effectiveness of the law if some people are just not covered.

Imagine a country that does that and exempts some people from the law? It would be total corruption crime-world!

Nope. Not true.

Here's some sources with specifics of the time frame from before Trump began pressuring broadcasters to spin news his way (please read the dates from their by-lines):

DC police commander suspended, accused of changing crime statistics - NBC4 Washington - July 18 2025

Oversight Committee Releases Bombshell Report Revealing D.C.’s Police Chief Deliberately Manipulated Crime Data - 14 December 2025

MPD Quietly Terminates Officials Over Crime Stat Manipulation: REPORT (note this report mentions that the allegations were of misreporting in October and December of 2025)

News broadcasters, even overseas ones, are currently being pressured by the Trump administration to spin the news in favour of Trump, in ways that they weren't only months ago.

So all you have to do is follow the topic thread of the articles back to their origins to see the truth.

The D.C. manipulations accelerated in late 2023 after they saw major spikes early in 2023. This is part of what's being prosecuted now in DC and other manipulated cities.

That (un)reasoning works both ways.

It is clear that Trump lied that there was a crime problem, when there wasn't, and then claimed that he had reduced crime by a large amount, when he didn't.

It's just like Trump saying that the whole Epstein thing was a Democrat hoax, while also saying that he was the only politician who prosecuted Epstein, at the time when others did nothing. His lies are obvious.

The manipulations being proven now is what you seem to want people to believe.

The lie patterns of the manipulated crime data is the only lie pattern, not any of Trump's alleged diversions from other unrelated issues or hoaxes like the Russian hoax etc. The ongoing audits are uncovering mass manipulation by high police dept officials in many big crime cities.

Soros is an investment broker who contributes to lots of political causes.

However, he hasn't been before the courts anywhere near as much as the felon-in-chief, Lex Luthor(DC)/Norman Osbourne(M) or similar.

Ummm, yeah, no.

The D.C. manipulations accelerated in late 2023 after they saw major spikes early in 2023. This is part of what's being prosecuted now in DC and other manipulated cities. 

Evaluating Crime Reporting in Washington, DC

There was an increase, specifically in homicides, in DC in last half of 2022 which disappeared in 2023, back to its usual downward trend.

The spike in homicides in DC was coincident with the COVID-19 state of emergency there, which ended in October 2022.

The number of criminal court cases at all times has been in line with arrest numbers and no divergence has been noted until 2025 when Trump claimed a rise in crime that no-one was seeing, and then a subsequent large decline in crime which again no-one was seeing.

The divergence between arrest details and criminal court details in 2025 warranted an immediate investigation by a Congress Select Committee and the FBI, separately, and has led to the current allegations.

Alongside that, in 2021 the FBI changed its reporting criteria which left more than 6,000 agencies suddenly having to comply with new data collection criteria. This meant that the long-established crime reporting criteria was at odds with the new criteria, and at least 6,000 agencies across the USA were not compliant. Note that those agencies were still fully collecting and presenting data according to the standards they had always used.
