DC police commander placed on leave over ‘deliberately’ falsifying crime data;
The police union has accused Pulliam of deliberately falsifying the data, and claimed that police supervisors in the department have been manipulating crime data to make it seem as though violent crime has fallen considerably in the district compared to 2024.
Fraternal Order of Police Chairman Gregg Pemberton said, “When our members respond to the scene of a felony offense where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will show up on that scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense. So, instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital or a felony assault, which is not the same type of classification.”
Pemberton said that command staff at the department is focusing on two categories to get the numbers down: injured person to the hospital and armed with a dangerous weapon.

could this upsidedown backward insideoutness be a sign of . . . . of . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The End Times?
some think so . . . . . .
I believe crime stats are the most manipulated. Need more money for the budget? Go after everything. Guy spits on the sidewalk? Arrest him for mischief. Got the budget increase? Prove it worked by ignoring everything but the most pressing emergencies. A guy violently sexually assaults a woman? Call it a minor disturbance and forget about it. Eventually people get fed up and stop reporting crimes. Repeat the process when the budget starts to decrease.
“Fraternal Order of Police Chairman”? That should be of concern right there. I remember a similar tone from the Order of Water Buffalo on the Flintstones. Along the “Honorable Minister” line of ironies. They should be forced to change their title to “Highly Paid Public Sector Employee”.

I think we’re about twenty minutes from Trump federalizing the administration of DC.
