NEW: The D.C. Police Union Chief says someone from “HIGH UP” is directing police precincts to put out FAKE CRIME STATS
In a startling revelation, the D.C. Police Union Chief has alleged that directives are coming from "HIGH UP" within the police department to manipulate crime statistics. This allegation raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability in law enforcement. The chief’s statement suggests that officers responding to violent incidents, such as shootings, are being instructed to downplay the severity of these events and provide misleading reports.
The chief elaborated on the troubling practice, stating that at crime scenes with clear evidence—like shell casings and bullet holes—captains are allegedly guiding officers to disregard the actual situation. This means that the data presented to the public could be grossly inflated, skewing perceptions of crime rates in Washington, D.C. Such actions not only jeopardize public trust but can also impact policy decisions that affect community safety.
“We’ll go to a scene where somebody is shot, there are shell casings, there are bullet holes”
This striking admission about the manipulation of crime statistics highlights a potential crisis in policing. If law enforcement agencies prioritize image over honesty, it compromises their integrity. Citizens deserve to know the true state of public safety in their neighborhoods. This sort of misrepresentation can lead to misguided public policies and a lack of resources directed towards real issues.
The implications of these claims are profound, raising questions about who is truly in control of crime reporting in D.C. It’s crucial for community members, policymakers, and advocates to demand clarity and accountability from their police departments. The integrity of crime data is essential for effective governance and community trust.
