Probably, but the lack of context is Fox levels of useless.

Statistics released by the Metropolitan Police Department on the same day as Trump’s remarks showed the number of homicides had decreased by 32% from 2023 to 2024 and by 12% so far from 2024 to 2025.

So wait, crime in D.C. was already decreasing before the National Guard occupation? Why didn't Raddatz say that?

Anticipatory obedience. The act of complying with expected demands from an authority figure before instructions are given, to avoid conflict. A historical example is the subordinates in Nazi Germany, who anticipated the wishes of their superiors and carried out mass murders without direct orders.

Of course. Anticipatory obedience and Raddatz's own desire to stay rich while the rest of us suffer explains a lot.

Thank you, I will look at those stats. Stats can be interpreted in different ways. I don't trust anything from the 'Slow the testing down ' president.
