Summary

Trump’s takeover of DC’s police force is actually resulting in LESS daily arrests than the DC police accomplished before the phony illegal “take over!”. As Michael Popok reports, the “takeover” also shows that Trump cares more about a 19 year old staffer name “Big Balls” who got jumped by some 14 year olds, than he does about ensuring that violent criminals who attacked our Capitol are brought to justice.

Looks like Donald Trump may be arresting less, not more than the daily average of arrests in the District of Columbia.

0:06.8

A great fanfare! He's taken over! He's taken over D.C. He's trying to embarrass Blue State and Blue Municipality Leadership.

0:14.6

He's law and order, except the numbers don't support that.

0:17.8

Not only is the data wrong about the violence and the statistics about

0:24.0

the violent nature of crime in the District of Columbia has got it all backwards and upside down,

0:30.7

but he's also his arrest numbers seem to be less than the arrest that were being made

0:35.3

on an average day before he took it over.

0:38.4

I'm Michael Poppock.

1:19.5

got jacked by a bunch of 14-year-olds. So because that happened, Donald Trump decided to talk about

1:27.1

knee-jerk reaction to take over an entire federal district and its police department.

1:31.7

And now they start cranking out this phony data about arrest.

1:36.3

There's been a hundred arrests, Carolyn Levitt said, the press secretary, since the operation started on Monday.

1:42.5

Except she ignores the fact that there were already 50 to 60 arrests a day in the District of Columbia
