After more than five years working the streets of Washington, DC as a police office for the Metropolitan Police Department, Adonis Savage says crime is much worse than what people believe and what they are told to be believe about crime by the politicians and the police leadership. In the second part conversation with Savage, he gives a full accounting of how crime is and is not reported, specifically when it comes to juveniles.
All across the United States of America, in big cities and small towns, with governments under GOP and democratic control, crime seems to be more prevalent than in recent years past. People in communities across the country talk of excessive car theft, car break-ins, stolen packages, shootings, mass killings, etc. The list is long. Crime has people on edge, and they are turning to their local politicians for actions, and the politicians talk of more police officers.
Former officer Savage, talks about what's really going on, and he explains why communities are not being told the detailed truth about crime in their communities. He offers solutions, and he believes there is reason for optimism. There are some good police officers out there who really want to serve the community, Savage says. Hear what he has to say this second part edition of his appearance of The Offshoot.
