Washington, D.C. Police Department Chief Robert Contee appeared Saturday at a meeting alongside Mayor Muriel Bowser to discuss the rise of crime in the city.
"Their first offense, their first introduction to the criminal justice system — 100 young people for robbery," the chief of police lamented."I looked at a video about two days ago at a charter school, where three young people took another person's shoes off them — while they're in school — and put the shoes in a trash can while somebody else recorded it."
D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officers are seen at Florida Avenue and P Street, NE, Sept. 22, 2022.
