@robertwhite-dc.bsky.social as you look at 911 issues here is a basic common problem. OUC dispatched to the wrong address. They won't investigate because we didn't know the callers phone number. When I FOIA'ed for the public report they said all info is on their dashboard but this case is missing.
For Ward 4 neighbors in DC, I think this is an important explanation of ongoing issues with our 911 system. We all want emergency services to respond when we need them, but 911 is regularly making costly mistakes and under-reporting incidents. #FixDC911

Here's the results: It was conducted by a coalition of labor unions, many of which supported Bowser in '22, and they found very worrying numbers for her.
53% say she's not doing a good job as mayor and she loses 59-40 (!) against a generic challenger.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

So almost the entire D.C. Council is now meeting being closed doors to negotiate how to proceed on the expanded youth curfew emergency bill. It seems pretty clear they are negotiating legislation behind closed doors, in violation of the spirit of the city’s Open Meetings Act.
