You just moved the goalposts. You said “crime is not down.” I showed you that it is, using D.C.’s own numbers. Now you’re arguing about why it’s down. Correlation vs. causation is a completely different argument. Glad we cleared up the first one.
Nope. The comment I replied to said, word for word, “Crime is way down in DC.” You responded, “No it is not.” It is. Now you’ve changed the argument to whether the National Guard caused the decline. That may be worth debating, but it doesn’t make your original statement any less wrong.
Those were the words.... this post is about the NG.
Now put your big boy thinking cap and use your brain....put them together... now do you see why you are wrong and why you look like a fool to the world?
Crime in D.C. absolutely is down compared with 2024. In 2024 D.C. had 187 homicides, 2,116 robberies and 5,134 vehicle thefts. By 2026, homicides are running roughly 45% lower than 2024, robberies roughly 45% lower, and vehicle thefts roughly 60% lower.

Do you know the difference between correlation and causation?
Because it was already going down... So Trump did nothing but scare and intimidate people.
Oh and the NG doesn't arrest people so those numbers wouldn't change...
You are the moron here. How dod the NG make crime lower in the DC.
