The Democrats who run American cities have a special secret for keeping crime rates relatively low. It can now be revealed:
Via DC News Now:
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?"
