took office has escalated. Many either as crime victim or witness failed to come forward in urban area when they fear being incarcerated or deported. There are lots of unsolved crimes due to this. If your ask any investigator or community policing officer they will tell you that is the sad case. Serious crimes such as murders, assaults, rape, etc. go unsolved.

Meanwhile.....the fuckwads in DC/

The Department of Justice announced Friday that it’s rolling back an Obama-era program created to help improve trust between police agencies and the communities they serve.

The department said it’s making significant changes to an office that investigated and issued public reports about problems it found in individual police departments.

DOJ said the changes to the program “will return control to the public safety personnel sworn to protect their communities and focus on providing real-time technical assistance to best address the identified needs of requesting agencies to reduce violent crime.”
