D.C. police chief Robert Contee on rising crime in the city: "It's unacceptable in any community...This should be shocking to the conscience of every person in our city. I don't care where you live, it has the attention that it is gotten now b/c it's happened where it happened."
D.C. police chief Contee is BRINGING it: "The justice system we have right now is not functioning the way that it should. The courts are not open. That is a fact. Barely open. So cases from last year...they have not been disposed of, what do you think those individuals are?"
Contee: "This was real for some people, but it has been happening in communities all across the city...You cannot coddle violent criminals...You cannot treat violent criminals who are out here making communities unsafe...What they make require is to be off of our streets."
Contee: It's outrageous to see "families suffer when they don't have to b/c we are putting violent criminals, allowing them to be back out...That's unacceptable. So what do we do about it? We have honest conversations w/the people, the leadership...the council members."
Contee ends with 🔥: "Why is it that a guy who murdered somebody is out in a community after having been arrested two or three months later...with a firearm? What did we think he was going to do...How are we holding people accountable?"
