Less Crime in D.C. and Why That is Bad

8/27/25 PBS News Hour:

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser gave an update Wednesday about the increase in federal personnel in the nation’s capital at a press conference where she discussed the takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department, the crime situation and the future of Union Station....

Bowser said the federal surge has helped in fewer gun crimes, fewer homicides and led to an extreme reduction in carjackings.

But the surge has led to a “break in trust between, police and community, especially with new federal partners.”

Yes, I can see why reducing crime would break trust between carjackers and community.
