DC’s fake crime stats are even worse than you think…​

If you want to know how bad things really are in The Swamp, here’s your answer: city leaders have been cooking the books to make crime look less out of control than it actually is. That’s right, while American families are living in fear, dealing with theft, assaults, and violent attacks, police brass in the nation’s capital were directing officers to misclassify crimes. They were told to downgrade felonies to misdemeanors so they could protect the left-wing political class from having to face the ugly truth about their soft-on-crime policies and failed leadership.

This is exactly the kind of cover-up you’d expect from a Dem-run city, right? Instead of admitting and fixing the problem, they bury it, spin it, and punish anyone who dares to speak out. That’s what makes this story so important: a whistleblower inside the department exposed the scheme and was promptly fired for it. She sued the city, and they’ve now “quietly” settled with her.
And now that President Trump has stepped in to take control of the soaring crime nightmare, this story couldn’t come at a worse time for DC’s political elite, who are still out there spinning fairytales that crime is under control in DC.

Free Beacon:

The District of Columbia has quietly settled a lawsuit from a sergeant who accused Metropolitan Police Department leaders of misclassifying offenses to deflate the district’s crime statistics, court records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show. Police brass repeatedly told officers to downgrade theft cases, knife attacks, and violent assaults to lesser offenses, according to internal MPD emails, depositions, and phone call transcripts the Free Beacon reviewed.

Former MPD sergeant Charlotte Djossou sued the department in 2020, alleging that police leadership punished her for speaking out against the scheme. Djossou, who joined the force after serving honorably in Iraq, accused MPD brass of attempting to “distort crime statistics” by “downgrading a number of felonies to misdemeanors, so that there will be ‘fewer’ felonies in the statistics.” She also provided records showing that police leaders explicitly instructed their subordinates to underclassify certain instances of theft to keep them out of the crime stats the city reports to the public.

The Free Beacon piece goes on:

The lawsuit, as well as the city’s decision to settle, calls into question the prevailing narrative presented in mainstream media outlets as President Donald Trump carries out a D.C. crime crackdown. The New York Times, Washington Post, and Politico have all cited data from the Metropolitan Police Department to contend that D.C. crime is low and Trump’s crackdown is unnecessary. That coverage did not mention whistleblowers like Djossou, nor did it disclose that a D.C. police commander is currently on leave after the city’s police union accused him of manipulating crime stats.

The union reports that when officers respond to a felony call, higher-ups inevitably show up on the scene to make sure the charges get downgraded. This is an all-out scandal designed to trick the American people into believing crime in left-wing cities isn’t as bad as it really is.

Look:

But it gets even worse. The true scope of the corruption in the DC police department is really coming to light. One of the officers called out in the suit for manipulating crime stats is currently in prison for helping a fellow officer cover up a murder. You can read about that story here.

The Free Beacon piece goes on:

Though elements of Djossou’s case have previously been reported, the settlement has not. Neither have several exhibits the legal proceedings brought to light, including a 2022 deposition of MPD commander Randy Griffin. At the time of the events in question, Griffin oversaw D.C’s Fourth District in the northernmost part of the city. He confirmed in his deposition that he tasked a police captain, Franklin Porter, with finding “a solution for the theft problem, which was driving up the district’s statistics” in April 2018.


Porter’s solution, devised alongside former MPD lieutenant Andrew Zabavsky, was to use the “Taking Property Without Right” (TPWOR) classification instead of “Shoplifting” or “Theft,” Griffin confirmed in the deposition. Court records show that Zabavsky—currently serving a 48-month sentence for covering up an unrelated murder case—”acknowledged this was done because TPWOR reports are not tracked in the D.C. Crime Report.”

The corruption – on all levels – is out of control, and President Trump is likely fully aware of this. As for the crime stats book-cooking, this proves what average Americans already know: the crime crisis in DC and this country is real, it’s been deliberately hidden, and the left’s phony “law and order” narrative is one big lie. They are the political party of chaos and criminals, turning felons into saints and leaving hardworking Americans completely on their own.

Same. Our retirement will be based on when my MIL passes on. Puts us in the hard position of trying hard to hope she doesn't. Strange place to be.

Similar. My mom will be 90 in October. She's kinda frail but still drives a little, lives on fast food and Diet Coke, and takes less medication than I do.
All the heart disease, strokes, and diabetes are on her side of the family yet she gets none of it and survived cancer twice.
My late father was a certified financial planner who refused to plan his own finances so the money he left my mom plus the big house she sold (she rents a smaller one) is just sitting in the bank waiting for a nursing home to take it all. There's a five-year lookback for Medicare so no point in doing anything about it now.
I'm not planning on inheriting anything.
