LinkLinksOpinion Sarah Shoenfeld in The Post: D.C.’s struggling communities need investment, not overpolicing By Editor On Oct 17, 2018 Last updated Oct 17, 2018 28 Share The Oct. 12 editorial decrying a rise in homicides in the District, “A rising D.C. death toll,” praised the D.C. police for “dispatching extra officers and doubling down on seizures of illegal guns” in Ward 8. The editorial went on to recommend harsher penalties for gun possession. Yet the mostly black wards east of the Anacostia River are already hyper-policed and overincarcerated.
