An interim report released Sunday by the House Oversight Committee accuses D.C. police Chief Pamela Smith of pressuring and, at times, “directing” commanders to manipulate crime classifications to make the nation’s capital appear safer to the public.
Crime in DC has been even higher than we knew. No wonder Trump sent in the National Guard to restore public safety.
Specifically, the report details that commanders testified that Smith placed a focus on the daily crime report (DCR), not only pressuring but also often instructing them to lower the crime classifications to lesser “intermediate offenses” so that the crimes would not be included in the publicly viewable dataset.
The rate of assault with a deadly weapon has been lowered by misclassifying it as “endangerment with a firearm,” which does not have to be reported publicly. Burglary has been misclassified as “unlawful entry” for the same reason.
If given the opportunity, Democrats will use a similar strategy to solve the illegal alien crisis by reclassifying all illegal aliens as legal. This will be presented as “comprehensive immigration reform.”
As for those who don’t go along with the fraud,
The report’s release comes just days after a Justice Department investigation into D.C. police found that Smith allegedly created a “coercive culture of fear” that may have pushed [Metropolitan Police Department] personnel to manipulate crime statistics, as reported by the Washington Post.
Those lower in the chain of command who want to keep their jobs report desired numbers rather than real ones — not that Chief of Police Smith knows what “chain of command” means:
Reporter: "Do you know what the chain of command is now?"
Pamela Smith, D.C. Police Chief: "What does that mean?"
Some thought they could never come up with a worse candidate than the leftist dorkazoid hipster Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke. Texas Democrats sink to the challenge:
Jasmine Crockett launched a campaign Monday for the U.S. Senate in Texas, telling President Donald Trump, “I’m coming for you,” and bringing a national profile to what could be a critical race for Democrats’ long-shot hopes of reclaiming a Senate majority in next year’s midterm elections.
She has a national profile because she represents the state of the art in Democrat ultramoonbattery.
She is seeking the Senate seat held by Republican John Cornyn, who is running for reelection in the GOP-dominated state.
Juneteenth sponsor Cornyn is no prize, but if he can’t beat Jasmine Crockett, Texas is toast. As goes Texas, so will go the country — which is why Democrats have made a priority of flooding it with illegal aliens from the Third World.
Like most Democrats, Crockett is hostile to ICE. She barks that “ICE is not trained to go out and do what they’re doing” — i.e., defend the border by enforcing immigration law.
She has other ideas on law enforcement:
“I want to be clear that, like, law enforcement isn’t to prevent crime. Law enforcement solves crime. OK?”
Law enforcement may spend most of its time redistributing wealth if Crockett et al. prevail. Here she floats the idea of favored blacks not having to pay taxes, then moves on to direct cash payments:
Care to guess what happens when an illegal alien is found to be working as a police officer in a suburb of Chicago and is arrested by ICE? That’s right; he is reinstated:
Officials in Hanover Park, Illinois – which straddles DuPage and Cook Counties — defended Officer Radule Bojovic, saying in a statement to CBS News he had been hired in “full compliance” with the law, and had proper federal work authorization.
If Bojovic were true to his profession, he would arrest himself. It is a felony for illegal aliens to possess firearms. By definition, it is illegal for them even to be in the country.
The liberal establishment’s contempt for US sovereignty and rule of law cannot be overstated.
Leftists walk a fine line, making pronouncements that are valid in the narrowest technical sense but effectively seditious. An obvious example is the Seditious Six calling for military personnel not to obey “illegal” orders, while refusing to clarify what they mean by that. True enough, no one should obey orders that are clearly illegal. But the obvious message is that servicemembers should not obey orders that leftists wouldn’t like. Otherwise, they might be punished once Democrats take power.
Brian O’Hara, Minneapolis police chief under the ultramoonbat Jacob Frey, provides another example by advising citizens to call 911 on ICE agents who are doing their essential duty by arresting illegal aliens — if they might not really be law enforcement. Kidnapping is no better than following illegal orders, after all. The obvious intent is to encourage people to obstruct the enforcement of immigration law — and possibly to set up dangerous confrontations between federal and local law enforcement that can be exploited to sow political chaos:
🚨 JUST IN: The Minneapolis police chief is actually telling Somalians and residents to CALL 911 on ICE if they see agents arresting 3rd world migrants wearing masks… and to accuse them of “KIDNAPPING”
O’Hara’s comments come amid media reports that ICE is preparing a major enforcement operation targeting hundreds of Somali illegal immigrants in the Twin Cities region.
O’Hara has to grovel extra hard to Somali colonists to make up for noticing that they commit a lot of crime in Minneapolis.
The most appalling miscarriage of justice in modern times is the railroading of Derek Chauvin, who was tried and convicted of being a white police officer who arrested the career criminal fentanyl victim George Floyd.
Chauvin was denied a change of venue, despite the clear threat of continued violence from Black Lives Matter scum if he was not offered up to the mob as a sacrificial victim. Left-wing activist judge Peter Cahill was openly hostile toward Chauvin.
That the farce was a political show trial could not have been more obvious. Maxine Waters even came in from California to demand Chauvin’s head on a platter.
As liberals knew was likely and no doubt hoped, an attempt was soon made on Chauvin’s life in prison. He was stabbed 22 times but somehow survived.
Due to the high visibility of the Chauvin’s disgraceful kangaroo court trial, the credibility of our entire system of justice has been compromised. Faith in it can only be restored when the verdict has been rendered null and void. Also, we cannot expect police officers to lay their lives on the line to protect us when they know they are subject to the same fate as Derek Chauvin.
Attorney Greg Joseph has filed a “Memorandum in support of petition for postconviction relief” on behalf of his client Derek Chauvin…
The petition states that the case involved two key issues: intent and causation. That is, one, whether the restraint of Floyd followed policies and procedures of the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD); and two, if the restraint caused his death.
The answers to these questions are respectively yes and no, despite the disprovable lies told at his trial.
In seeking to vacate Chauvin’s conviction, or obtain a new trial, the petition argues that Chauvin “was deprived of his right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article I of the Minnesota Constitution.”
Let’s not forget his Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial before an impartial jury.
Joseph’s petition for Chauvin also references the 34 current and former MPD officers who provided sworn declarations about how the restraint that Chauvin used was in fact part of MPD training, to the contrary of [MPD Inspector Katie] Blackwell’s testimony during Chauvin’s trial. In addition to those 34 officers, Chauvin’s petition includes declarations from 23 additional officers who came forward.
Liz Collin of esteemed Alpha News interviewed Greg Joseph last month:
For the sake not just of an innocent man but of the country as a whole, best of luck to Joseph.
If you want to know what it is like trying to preserve public order where moonbattery prevails, ask Las Cruces, New Mexico Police Chief Jeremy Story about Neil Garcia:
Garcia has been arrested more than 70 times between 2022 and 2025, including for violent offenses. Public court records show Garcia’s charges in New Mexico date back to 2001.
“He’s hurting people, victimizing people, causing problems in our businesses, in our community and breaking windows at City Hall multiple times,” Story said.
Garcia’s most recent case, involving the breaking of windows at Las Cruces City Hall, was dismissed in September after a court found him not competent to stand trial and not dangerous.
More dangerous even than the criminals who own the streets are the liberal judges who unleash them at the public’s throat. Imagine a Supreme Court packed with these malevolent kooks. That is what Democrats have repeatedlypromised to impose.
My jaw hit the floor listening to this
Las Cruces Chief of Police in New Mexico says a man has broken the windows in City Hall multiple times, every time his felonies are dismissed
He “has been arrested at least 108 TIMES, with at least 15 of those being felonies”
Occasionally Portland police have to make a show of arresting Antifa terrorists, so that they can receive token wrist slaps before being set loose again at the public’s throat. But this cop raising a “F*** Trump” flag may indicate which side the Portland Police Bureau is on in the steadily warming Cold Civil War:
A Portland police officer just RAISED a “Fck Trump” flag after arresting a liberal terrorlst..
Looks as if they are posing for photos with this F*** ICE flag:
I screen grabbed this last night from Portland. Two Portland police officers hold up this flag while in the process of arresting this thug. Doesn't it look like they are posing for a picture ?? pic.twitter.com/xcgikMgFtH
When the police side with militant kooks against everyone else, things get scary quickly. For details, refer to Russia under Bolsheviks and Germany under Nazis.
