🚨David Sacks: Trump taking federal control of DC policing gives Republicans a blueprint to run on for fixing crime in major cities “The theory back in the 90’s of how you reduce crime was the ‘broken windows’ theory, which is that you get rid of the entry-level crimes, and you get rid of the visible manifestations of lawlessness and chaos, because when you create an environment in which it appears that those things are tolerated, then you will end up getting more of it.” “That was a theory in the 90’s and it absolutely worked, and what you've got in DC is the opposite of it.” “And I think what President Trump has said is, look, first of all, we're gonna get rid of the homeless encampments. We’re gonna get rid of the graffiti. We're gonna stop the zero bail. So once people get locked up, they're gonna stay in jail. And we're gonna start treating these teenage criminals as, you know, we're gonna punish them. We're not gonna let them off the hook, if they're committing adult crimes, there's gonna be adult punishments.” “This is the right direction to go if you want to reverse this lawlessness in DC. And I think it's gonna have an impact very, very quickly.” “One of the problems with crime is that it is a local problem.” “It's been very bad in blue cities and Republicans just haven't had power there in order to effectuate a change that they could point to as a solution.” “And I think that DC provides that opportunity.”
