Outgoing police chief decries District’s ‘broken’ criminal justice system

D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier leaves her post in two weeks with high popularity and crime down over her tenure but frustrated by a system that she said allows repeat violent offenders back on the street time after time.

In a far-ranging interview, the chief of nearly 10 years unleashed a blunt rebuke of the myriad local and federal agencies responsible for keeping offenders in check, saying there are too many failures and too little accountability.

“The criminal justice system in this city is broken,” Lanier said, citing what she sees as the lack of outrage over repeat offenders as a key reason for her decision to take a job as head of security for the National Football League. “It is beyond broken.”

I have lived in the Metropolitan Washington DC area for over 20 years now, and not once has a Republican held the office of Mayor since then. How is it that Cathy, the ex Police Chief of the District, bad mouth the city that gave her an education, a job, a way of life? Could it be that liberalism if for the criminal and not the law abiding citizen? Sure seems that way to Cathy.

She did a great job considering what she had to work with.

She made it damn near impossible for the Law Abiding Citizen to get a concealed carry permit. Crime would be non existent if more people carried in the district where the police take 10 to 30 minutes to show up. Oh well, now the NFL can deal with her ineptness to protect at football games.

I understand that.
