Why the DOJ vs. DC Police thing actually matters
So apparently, the DOJ is peering over MPD’s shoulder like a suspicious parent, accusing them of “miracle crime drops.” 🕵️♂️✨ Spoiler: no one’s confirmed fraud yet. But why should we care?
Trust Issues: Crime stats aren’t just numbers. They’re how policymakers, the media, and the public figure out if your neighborhood is safe—or if your mayor’s just tweeting optimism. Fake stats = fake trust.
Federal vs. Local Power Play: DC isn’t like your average city. It’s basically a playground for political posturing. Alleged fudged stats give the feds ammo to justify poking their noses into local policing. Cue the drama. 🏛️
Careers on the Line: If fraud ever got proven (it hasn’t), someone could be looking at criminal charges. Even an investigation? Shake-up city-wide. Morale? Gone. Reputation? Ruined. Popcorn-worthy, really. 🍿
Policy Domino Effect: Money, staffing, and federal grants hinge on “accurate” crime numbers. If the data is off—even slightly—decisions meant to protect communities could actually harm them.
Media and Political Theater: Allegations = headlines = viral tweets. Doesn’t matter if MPD is innocent; optics alone can shape elections, policy, and public freakouts.
Bottom line:
Whether or not MPD cooked the books, this saga is a perfect storm of politics, perception, and paranoia. And, yes, it’s absolutely entertaining if you like bureaucratic soap operas. 📉🔥
NOT OUR CRIMES (A Petition For Accurate Data Reporting In Criminal Statistics)
'NOT OUR CRIMES'
- A Petition For Accurate Data Reporting In Criminal Statistics -
About the Petition:
The goal of the "NOT OUR CRIMES" petition is to call attention to the reporting inaccuracy of criminal statistics as it pertains to biological women (XX) and biological men (XY). Previously, 'The Federal Bureau Of Investigation' reported that, "in 2023, 73.8 percent of all arrestees were males. Males accounted for 80.1 percent of persons arrested for violent crimes and for 62.6 percent of persons arrested for property crimes. Males comprised 88.7 percent of persons arrested for murder and nonnegligent manslaughter in 2023. Of the total number of persons arrested for drug abuse violations, 79.7 percent were males". Statistical inaccuracies related to gender identity can arise from a variety of sources, affecting the reliability and validity of data in this area. These inaccuracies can significantly impact research outcomes, policy decisions, and the understanding of gender identity issues. Statistical inaccuracies can also further isolate Females (XX) who are victimized based on their biological sex and not a gender identity.
The phrase "NOT OUR CRIMES" often appears in discussions about the historical and ongoing injustices that marginalized groups face. We argue that gender identity should NOT be considered in the reporting of violent and sexual crimes, and that this practice on a broader scale attempts to further ERASE the biological Female/Girls (XX) as victims of sex-based crimes. Globally. statitica data suggests that the majority of sexually violent crimes are committed by biological men. If sexually violent crimes that are committed by men are now labelled as crimes committed by "females", based on gender-selection, then this data is flawed and any societal laws set to protect the Female (XX), will further be eliminated.

Police made 8,500 arrests of foreign nationals for sexual offences including rape in 2024 and start of 2025.
By: Adam Pogrund
Published: Apr 13, 2025
Sudan tops the league table of sex offence arrests by nationality, 'disturbing' analysis suggests.
Data laying bare the scale of such alleged crimes by foreigners in England and Wales places Afghanistan second.
Eritrea, Iran and Iraq rounded out the top five, out of a total of 155 named countries.
Police made 8,500 arrests of foreign nationals for sexual offences including rape in 2024 and start of 2025.
More than 220 came from Sudan, according to figures obtained exclusively by MailOnline.
Latest Government statistics, from the 2021 Census, say only 18,650 Sudanese-born people without British citizenship live here.
This equates to a rate of around 1,200 arrests per 100,000 of the African country's migrant population.
Because the supplied data only looks at arrests, it does not mean they were all convicted. Suspects may have also been nicked multiple times.
If Sudan's rate was applied to the home-born population in England and Wales, it would equate to approximately 500,000 arrests.
Yet cops only nicked 44,000 people for sexual offences across all nationalities in the year to April 2024.
Huge gaps in the available data on the contentious topic of migrant crime means the real figures may be very different. Immigration has spiralled to all-time highs over the past few years and thousands have arrived on small boats.
Chris Philp MP, shadow home secretary, said of MailOnline's investigation: 'These figures are deeply troubling.
'It is disturbing to see so many horrific crimes perpetrated by foreign offenders but also so many gaps in available data.
'The first duty of any government is to keep its citizens safe.
'Labour must heed our calls to deport all foreign criminals at once.'
Robert Bates, from the Centre of Migration Control think tank, added: 'Police forces are clearly recording this data.
'This is hugely important information, which could be used to greatly improve the manner in which our immigration system works.
'But a political choice has been made by officials to try and ignore the evidence.'
Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick said: 'Not only is mass migration making us poorer, but this data proves it's also making us dramatically less safe.
'Not only do we need to reduce overall migration radically, we also need to overhaul security vetting.'
He added: 'It should not be surprising that migrants from cultures with backward attitudes towards women are more likely to commit sexual crimes here in the UK.
'If we are serious about tackling violence against women and girls, we need an immigration system that takes that into account and puts the safety of the British people first.'
Homeless Sudanese national Fawzi Omar was jailed for four years after he sexually assaulted a woman in Exeter city centre last May.
The 27-year-old, who was also given a further four years on extended licence, approached the victim, grabbed her and sexually assaulted her as she was walking home in the early hours of the morning.
Another Sudanese national's sexual assaults sparked a newspaper to warn locals about his predatory behaviour, with the bold headline: 'This man keeps sexually assaulting women'.
In January, Ali Hamad was jailed for eight months after being found guilty of assaulting 'two lone females' who were walking home after a night out in Cardiff.
He touched one's bare shoulder and slapped the other in the face three times.
The assaults happened just a fortnight after he was sentenced to a 12-week jail term for masturbating on a busy London street and reaching through the seats of a bus to touch an off-duty female police officer's bum.
The Sudanese national, whose age sparked confusion in court, was described as 'fairly rootless, with no job or relatives' by a lawyer.
MailOnline calculated the league table using Freedom of Information (FOI) data from the 43 police forces in England and Wales.
Greater Manchester Police, Warwickshire Police, Northamptonshire Police and Dyfed-Powys Police did not provide data.
Our probe covered all of 2024, although some forces gave figures for parts of January and February 2025.
It solely looked at sexual offence arrests, which might also include child grooming.
Forces did not explicitly state how they determined whether the arrested were foreign nationals.
The FOI data was then plotted against the 2021 Census, which asked respondents about their country of birth and nationality.
We only took into account those without British citizenship or a passport, and did not include dual British citizens.
Only countries with at least 10 arrests were included.
A handful of countries had no population data to compare against.
Some forces didn't give us an exact figure for nationalities with fewer than five arrests.
For those, we chose to count them as just one. It means the actual number could be higher.
Dual foreign nationals were also excluded from our probe.
Due to the unavailability of official migrant crime statistics, the methodology used is one of the only ways to compare different nationalities.
Using Afghanistan as an example, Census data shows there were 27,850 people born there without British citizenship living here in 2021.
According to the FOIs, there were at least 281 arrests of Afghan nationals for sex offences during the 12-month spell. This equated to a rate of 1,009 per 100,000.
Similar analyses by the Centre for Migration Control estimated a rate of around 50 per 100,000 for Britons.
The higher rate of arrests for foreign nationalities could be down to a host of factors, including the possibility that police might disproportionately target some groups.
The data also does not consider sex of the alleged offender.
An estimated 98 per cent of sexual offences are committed by men, meaning the ratios could be much higher if broken down.
A spokesperson for the Home Office declined to comment when presented with the data.
In terms of raw numbers, MailOnline can reveal more Indians were arrested for sexual offences than any other foreign nationality last year (785).
But with an Indian-born non-British population of 437,566, it meant India ranked 40th in the league table.
Romanians were the second most arrested nationality, with 668 over 12 months, followed by Poland with 649 citizens.
Mr Bates added: 'We know which nationalities are more likely to commit certain heinous crimes, yet our immigration system is presently doing nothing to try and stave off this crisis.
'The Home Office has a duty to keep the British public safe, something it is patently failing to do with its open-door policy.
'Coming to Britain is an immense privilege, and any foreign national found guilty of committing a crime should be removed from our country forthwith so they no longer blight the lives of the British public.'
The Government has previously claimed to have returned more than 24,000 individuals with no right to be in country since Labour took power and a 16 per cent increase in foreign national offenders being removed in the same period.
Trump to attempt federal takeover of D.C. police functions
In another effort to distract from the Epstein scandal, Trump will hold a press conference on Monday to announce that the federal government is taking over police functions in the District of Columbia. See NYTimes, Trump Administration to Put F.B.I. Agents on Night Patrol in Washington (Accessible to all.)
The radical move is based on the lie that crime in Washington, D.C., is spiraling out of control. The opposite is true. Per the NYTimes article, above,
Mr. Trump has said that crime in Washington is spiraling out of control. While statistics show that violent crime in the city hit a 30-year low last year and is down another 26 percent so far this year . . . .
Trump is also going to announce a “crackdown” on homeless people in D.C., as well. See, What Did Donald Trump Do Today, Donald Trump Tells Homeless People To Go Home.
The above article notes that homelessness has decreased in DC over the last decade and that “some reports show that the number of homeless/unhoused persons in the city with diagnosed mental issues is upwards of 80%.”
And yet, the Big Ugly Bill just cut more than $500 million in federal grants to reduce homelessness.
The coming assault on D.C. is performative cruelty, plain and simple. We will see horrific scenes of homeless people being dragged from tents and sleeping bags for the crime of being poor or suffering from mental illness, all while Trump paints the Oval Office in gold leaf and accepts cryptocurrency payments that seem like nothing less than transparent bribes.

"THIS is where War in America will start... right here!"
Key trends since the 1970s
Peak in the early 1990s: Violent crime rose sharply from the 1960s onwards, reaching an all-time high in 1991 with around 758 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants. Since then, it has fallen by around 50%.
Massive decline in property crime: The rate of property crime (such as burglary and theft) has fallen by over 59% since the 1990s, reaching its lowest level since 1961 in 2024.
Murder rate: The murder rate almost halved between the early 1990s and 2014.
After a significant increase during the pandemic (2020), it has been declining sharply again since 2023.
Current situation (2025/2026)
Current analyses show that the United States is heading for historically low crime rates in early 2026:
Historical lows: Estimates for 2025 suggest that the US could see its lowest murder rate since at least 1960 and its lowest property crime rates ever.
Decline in cities: In many large cities, murder rates fell by around 20% in 2025 compared to the previous year.
Perception vs. reality
Despite the objective decline, surveys (e.g. Gallup) often show that over 75% of Americans believe that crime is on the rise. This is often attributed to increased reporting on social media and local crime incidents, which overshadow the long-term national downward trend in public perception.
Distortion by social networks and traditional media is a decisive factor in this discrepancy. Although crime is objectively declining, the perception of an increase remained high for a long time, with a slight trend reversal becoming apparent in the surveys in 2025/2026.
The effectiveness of this distortion can be explained by the following points:
Overrepresentation of violence: The media and social networks focus disproportionately on rare but shocking violent crimes, as these generate high click rates. This leads to ‘Mean World Syndrome,’ in which people perceive the world as more dangerous than it is statistically.
Lack of context in social media: About half of US adults get local crime news from social media. This information is often not fact-checked, omits details and tends to trigger moral panic.
Algorithm amplification: Algorithms increasingly show similar content to users who have reacted to crime reports.
This confirms and reinforces the belief that such acts are becoming more frequent.
Racial profiling in the digital space: Studies show that posts about crimes involving black suspects are shared more frequently, reinforcing racist stereotypes and distorting perceptions of the threat.
Current survey data (as of January 2026)
Interestingly, perceptions have eased somewhat over the past year:
Decline in concern: While in 2023, about 77% of Americans believed that crime was on the rise, this figure fell to about 49% in a Gallup poll at the end of 2025. This is the lowest level since 2001.
Is there more crime in your area than there was a year ago, or less? Is there more crime in the U.S. than there was a year ago, or less? Is
Connection to reality: Experts attribute this decline to the fact that the massive decreases in murders and violent crimes in 2025 were so significant that they are gradually becoming apparent in the public perception.
In summary, it can be said that the media has artificially kept fear high for decades, but the extremely positive crime data from 2025 is strong enough to partially break through this media effect at present.
Estimated rates per 100,000 people. Violent crime includes four offenses: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravat
Discrepancy between data and measures
Falling crime rates: While Donald Trump portrays cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. as ‘overrun by crime’, official data shows that violent crime there fell sharply in 2025/2026. In Washington D.C., for example, murders fell by 32% in 2024, and this trend continued in 2025 – yet the government is concentrating its troop presence there.
Focus on ‘blue cities’: Operations are concentrated almost exclusively in cities with Democratic mayors. Many cities in Republican-led states (e.g., Mississippi or Texas) have significantly higher murder rates per capita, but are not targeted by such military interventions.
2. Legal defeats and constitutional issues
Violation of the Posse Comitatus Act: Federal courts in California and Oregon ruled in 2025 that the troop deployments in Los Angeles and Portland violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic policing.
Lack of emergency: Judges found that the ‘rebellion’ or ‘state of emergency’ claimed by Trump did not in fact exist, which removes the legal basis for invoking the Insurrection Act.
3. Political calculation
Demonstration of strength: Analysts see the deployments as ‘political theatre’ designed to serve the narrative of ‘law and order’ for his own base and to portray Democratic governors as weak or incompetent.
Perception management: Since Trump supporters perceive crime as significantly less of a problem after he took office in 2025 (even though it is present in cities), the military deployment serves as a visible symbol of his success, regardless of whether the soldiers are actually solving crimes.
Current status (January 2026)
Due to massive legal resistance and court blockades, the administration announced at the end of December 2025 that it would withdraw troops from cities such as Los Angeles and Chicago. However, units remain stationed in some cities where Republican governors are cooperating (such as Memphis and New Orleans).
In summary, the claim of a primarily political interest is based on the fact that the operations are statistically unfounded, legally highly controversial and geographically biased towards political opponents.
