@JWPascale It’s not very helpful to use small pieces of information like this. This was a TASK FORCE to DISCUSS ideas not an agency or legislation. The next sentence says LAW ENFORCEMENT CONTINUES TO ENFORCE … USING EXISTING PROCESSES. Nothing changed. They didn’t move forward with ideas.
@JWPascale Local Police Work to Crack Down on Illegal Fraudulent Temp Tags (4/29/22)
Mad about “fare evasion” because YOU have to pay instead of not paying fares either?
Give @WMATA more of your $ for a campaign, pay for continuing mismanagement/ train maintenance failure, & support @MetroTransitPD targeting Black & brown folks/ kids?
Don’t believe the hype.
“This year, Metro expects about $301 million in fare revenue from passengers, making up about 13% of its total operating budget of $2 billion. The estimated shortfall from fare evasion this year, meanwhile, represents about 2% of that budget.”
Non-Black folks in #DC, if you’re making New Years resolutions add making a commitment to learn about and share widely the DC outside of the existence of monuments (many built by enslaved Africans), the White House, and Congress.
Will this be the moment of reckoning for @DCPoliceDept by the people of D.C? Or are we going to continue to pretend these are isolated incidents of police brutality by a "few bad apples"? The choice remains ours. #StopMPD#DefundDCPolice
This kind of brutality is not new for MPD, in D.C., and certainly not on Good Hope Rd. and 16th St. Southeast, but it is always unacceptable. It mirrors the experience of Derrick “Quan” Johnson at almost the same location on December 26, 2019. bit.ly/quanblmdc
