The city with the strictest gun control in the country, that denies concealed carry permits for law abiding citizens in direct violation of court orders....has a huge gun murder rate.....
Desperate Officials Try To Cover Up Failure of "Gun Free" D.C. - Bearing Arms - Crime, District of Columbia, Gun Free Zone, High capacity magazines, Washington
Washington, D.C. is infamous for having some of the nation’s strictest gun control laws. It is also incredibly violent, and there has been a recent surge in murders that the district’s Democrat leadership has been unable to slow, much less stop.
This is not a 3rd world country, the excuse given when it is pointed out that countries with the strictest gun control often have higher gun murder rates than the U.S.......so the "it's the 3rd world" doesn't cut it...this is the capital of the greatest country in the world...in it's very capital...with the strictest gun control in the U.S....outside of Puerto Rico....
And with a world class police force enforcing those gun laws......you can't own or carry a gun if you are a law abiding, good citizen...but the criminals have no problem doing it.......
Again...the real problem...under staffed police force, and democrat police policies....and of course no concealed carry for law abiding people...
DC police tactics questioned with murder crisis
However, the rank and file officers tell me that she is wasting their time with strategies that don't work on the streets. And they want to be freed up to get back to effective police strategies.
DC police tactics questioned with murder crisis
After a triple shooting at 7th and O Streets, the police put up a tent that is staffed with two officers 24 hours a day. They mostly just give out brochures.
It has infuriated the rank and file police. They say it is a waste of manpower and they call it the "lemonade stand."
“The idea that we have a triple shooting, multiple homicides in this area, we had three homicides yesterday, one this morning, we’ve had two shootings and it's not even noon, and the idea we are going to put up a pop-up tent and a banquet table that's somehow going to stop crime, that's embarrassing,” said Det. Gregg Pemberton, treasurer for the D.C. Police Union.

Another Lanier strategy that frustrates the rank and file is guarding light towers. Every night, these lights are rolled to high-crime areas and one or two cops are assigned to each one every night to guard the lights from vandals.
************************************************
“I can't meet the demand for the requests that I get from people in the community for light towers and they are effective in that they have assisted us in several cases in allowing us to determine identities of suspects when cameras are present and there is low lighting,” said Chief Lanier.
The police union said that another failed deployment strategy is assigning officers to what is called fixed patrols -- meaning they stay in one place for eight hours.
“It looks like what the chief is trying to do is trying to scare people away like scarecrows,” said Pemberton.
Police strategies are keeping gun crime high.....
