“The US Attorney for the District of Columbia is marking President Donald J Trump’s first 100 days by highlighting a 25 percent drop year-to-date in violent crime across the District, credited in part to the ‘Make DC Safe Again’ initiative and the US Attorney’s partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Metropolitan Police Department,” says a DOJ press release.
“According to data provided by the Metropolitan Police Department, total violent crime has declined by 25 percent year-to-date in 2025, with significant decreases in robberies, assaults with a dangerous weapon, and homicides. In March of 2025, US Attorney Edward R Martin Jr launched ‘Make DC Safe Again’, a law enforcement initiative in support of President Trump’s Executive Order to Make DC Safe and Beautiful. Make DC Safe Again aims to crack down on gun violence, prioritize federal firearms violations, pursue tougher penalties for offenses, and seek detention for federal firearms violators,” the press release continued and OH SHIT this is from April 28th back before the narrative changed and the National Guard needed to be deployed to extirpate the homeless.
And before Martin got replaced with Judge Box-o-Wine but that’s got fuck all to do with it.
