In Order to Lock Up More Blacks, Corpse Biden says he would Sign a GOP Bill Overturning DC Crime Laws. White Liberals Have Already Overcrowded Their Inhumane DC Jail by Filling It w/Blacks- 91% Black
/From [HERE] President Joe Biden said on Thursday he would sign a Republican-led bill that would overturn recent changes to Washington, D.C.'s laws which lowered penalties for some crimes, should it pass in the U.S. Senate.
"I support D.C. statehood and home rule, but I don't support some of the changes D.C. Council put forward over the Mayor's objections, such as lowering penalties for carjackings," Biden said on Twitter after a meeting with Senate Democrats. "If the Senate votes to overturn what D.C. Council did, I'll sign it."
A veto would run counter to Biden's longtime view that Washington should be a state that sets its own laws, free from interference from Congress. But it might help counter accusations that his Democratic Party is soft on crime.
Congressional oversight of Washington, D.C. is written into the U.S. Constitution, and the city's 700,000 residents do not have voting representation in Congress.
Washington's city council has been facing criticism from elite racists after lowering penalties for burglary, carjacking and other criminal activity. Police statistics show that crime in the city has broadly dropped since 2018, but a spike in carjacking and a recent assault on a member of Congress have heightened concerns about safety.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives rejected Washington's changes to the criminal code in a bipartisan vote in February. The Senate could vote on the measure next week.
DC Jail is 91% Black. Although the percentage of the overall Black population in DC has decreased, the percentage of incarcerated Blacks, particularly Black men, has remained relatively high and stable since 1990. [MORE] The vast majority of inmates are held pre-trial. All trials have been subject to postponements because of COVID. Felony trials in some cases are being set far into the future due to the busy calendars of prosecutors, courts and defense attorneys.

Do republican judges and prosecutors run the courts or police force in DC?? DC is 95% liberal and white liberal prosecutors/judges and their rolebotic servant Blacks are responsible, - just as they are in many places where Blacks attempt to live] [MORE] and [MORE]
The intersection between health care and prison reform has arguably never been more publicly visible than through the inhumane living conditions endured by the detainees at the D.C. county jail. This jail has consistently come under scrutiny regarding its conditions including, but not limited to, extreme confinement lasting more than 400 days and a class action lawsuit pertaining to proper COVID protocols. Unfortunately, this is just one example of the many jails, prisons, and detention centers in America that force detainees to suffer through uninhabitable conditions.
An impromptu inspection in October of 2021 revealed that the D.C. jail’s roughly 1,500 detainees are forced to live in systemic, inhumane and unsanitary living conditions. Notedly, many of these detainees have yet to be found guilty and are currently awaiting trial. These egregious conditions range from denial of food, water, and showers for punitive reasons, cells filled with sewage and blood, water leaks, mold, roaches, and lack of access to necessary medical care. There is no question that long term exposure to these conditions leads to physical and psychological trauma, which increases the likelihood that they will require future medical care. [MORE]
