Crime stats are likely also down because of the things businesses have done like locking everything up behind glass and like I mentioned the amount of police out. If the Capitol PD stayed only on the hill and DC wasn't relying on all these other agencies I don't think the numbers would be good at all. 

DC’s City Council also tried to lower mandatory minimums for a variety of crimes including sexual violence if people were young. That blew up in there face as well. 

Also one of the councilmen has been arrested and is on trial for bribery but somehow keeps his job….

Trump to Increase Federal Law Enforcement in DC for Second Night of Patrol

So it seems like maybe crime is up, it's just crime *statistics* that are down?

I've seen these youth gatherings in LA too. IMO the justice needs to be swift and harsh. Lax rules for youth make sense when it's an isolated incident, not when it's a mob gathering and it's repeated.
