Right now, you'll hear a lot of rhetoric about crime being down. However, I don't think that it's appropriate to take victory laps.

So to have people tell us, well, crime is down. You shouldn't be worried about that.Um that that's not the reality that we feel on the streets. Is i ...

H Street was nothing.They've become vibrant. Uh, great places to li ...

This is a fascinating story uh because so many people have been calling me over the past couple days going, you know, we like Washington should have gotten involved years ago.
