I've seen MPD doing traffic enforcement plenty of times... way more than FBI police.

Yes....it "realistically happens". Lug nut locks don't do shit and can be cracked off faster than you can put them on. Be prepared to lose your air bag as well.

Thieves will crack through wheel locks in less time than it takes to install them. People need to stop telling folks this is any kind of deterrent.

WTF are you referencing?

If that's the officer that shot the guy at the Wharf, I guess it depends on how many more violent fellons whip out a gun in public and point it at someone while he's around.

So?

Have you tried asking them to build more quietly?

I also suggest not looking for, and asking strangers to take risk for a "fancy apartment" for someone working minimum wage jobs. That's what makes this unbelievable.

Wait.... is this in DC or in KY? This just get weirder and less believable by the minute.

I can't tell if this is for real! You don't have the job yet, but you're renting a "fancy place"?! Focus on ways to build your credit and save your $300. Get a room in a group house instead of a private apartment. Anyone who does this for you is a sucker and at risk of losing far more than $300..

But if it wasn't for how safe this city is, there would have been so many more people shot and killed!

You failed to empathize with the victims by denying the victims of the violent felon the right to defend their own lives by using the same level of deadly force the violent felon chooses to use to commit his crimes and inflict fear and suffering on innocent people in an otherwise peaceful society.

I know.... that's your problem. You want to ignore the felon's violent crimes and his victims to draw "empathy" for the violent felon. You want to zero out any thoughts or empathy for his victims and the rest of society who have to live in fear of being a victim of a felon with a gun stealing cars and trying to drag people to their death. Where's the empathy for people who want to live in a place where they don't have to fear being a victim to people like your buddy?

He stole a car, had a gun in the car, and was trying to kill someone by dragging him with that stolen car....by definition that is a violent felon.

Where was the felon's "empathy" for the car owner when we he stole it? Where was the felon's "empathy" for the person he was dragging with the car he stole and that person's family who he was trying to deprive of a father, son, friend, etc.? Oh yeah.... I forgot... there's never any fault placed on the criminal fur their actions that led to the end.... it's so much easier to blame others. Take responsibility for your actions if you're caught.

So if a 17 yr old is trying to kill you, the officer can't shoot him.... ok... whatever. I want the officer to do whatever will stop the 17 yr old violent felon as fast as possible to ensure that I live. You want to sacrifice your life for a violent felon's, that's your choice.... don't think that others need to sacrifice their lives like that.

Yup

Logic is not welcome here.

17 yr olds stealing cars in DC is unbelievable to you? Do you read the news around here at all? This happens every day.

Kidnapping and actively attemptimg to murder a law enforcement officer.... a kid should be killed for that by an officer defending his/her life and the livea of their partners. Move along Monday morning quarterback.

Just think how many would have been shot if this city wasn't so safe!

Nah.... don't go changing your apathetic ways on me just after I decided to be like you!! I'm now looking at the homeless, littering, and shelter animals "from a purely rational perspective" .... like you. You said, if something "is comparatively no big deal compared to the other things we don't care about." that we are "technically correct" not to care. With the war in Ukraine, climate change, national debt, etc., then we're right not to be concerned about things like the homeless. Thank you for this new way of looking at the world and for defending me for not caring.

I got down voted to high heaven for suggesting folks should have stepped up to help a woman who posted about getting harassed on the Metro or at least alerted the police and/or the station manager.... something! But nope.... no one helped her I'm so sorry I watched you get harassed.... I would have helped, but then what about me?! Pathetic.....

More of this!!

Using your "logic", we can also not care about the homeless, children's hunger, and shelter animals....wow.... This is great advice....apathy absolves us of any worries!! I'm off to dump my used oil in the Chesapeake Bay!!!
