Works for me. . .don't see the law as "jackboot," neither God's law nor the national laws of our republic.
What an "unfortunate" point of view. . .no doubt in agreement with the lawbreakers.

Not just "the law" but "martial law". Jackboot refers to military boots. I don't consider the imposition of martial law
While some of us evidently prefer authoritarianism, others of us abhor it.

I prefer law and order. . .and if that requres "authoritarianism," I'm all far it.
That's what lawful authority is for, to use when lawlessness gets out of hand.
That should be a no-brainer.
We're having to re-invent the wheel. . .
Check in again with me when your home is damaged or your car is stolen.

The FBI does not need to be involved in my stolen car. They should probably be spending their time on ISIS or white supremacists aiming to strike at something more important than my car (nice as it is).

Law and order does not require authoritarianism, but apparently authoritarianism does require made up excuses to justify it. Deploying the military to intimidate the citizenry is expressly prohibited by the Constitution, yet our criminal president has done just that and has declared his intention to continue.
Hmm...naw...biting my tongue on that one...
No, we are looking at an excuse.
Why? Do you really believe that martial law is the solution to minor crime?

FBI dispatching agents to D.C. streets as Trump weighs calling National Guard
The deployment of FBI agents to deal with local crime puts agents from the bureau’s counterintelligence, public corruption and other divisions with minimal training in traffic stops out on the streets in potentially dangerous encounters, diverting them from their typical jobs at the bureau. And it comes as Trump is publicly portraying the city as rampant with violent crime — even as the mayor refutes that characterization, pointing to police data showing a drop in violent crime.FBI agents generally do not have authority to make traffic stops, and the people said the agents’ roles could include supporting the other agencies during traffic stops.
The FBI also is dispatching agents from outside D.C., including Philadelphia, to help with the surge of federal law enforcement in the District, according to multiple people familiar with the plans
It's a good thing there are no spies or corrupt officials to worry about, and Philadelphia is safe as peaches.

Are you unaware that "minor" is the path to "major" crime?
Study how Mayor Giuliani so successfully reduced crime in NYC.

This is interesting.
It appears that the liberals biggest argument turns out to be a lie. Yet again.

It destroyed the right's ability to comprehend the use of government for their benefit and turned government itself into the enemy. Now the only use left for it is the punishment of their enemies and the imposition of their will. Thanks for nothing Mr. Reagan.

He got elected at the right time (when crime was falling nation wide).

Where are you getting these social workers from? TrumpDogeCo just axed funding for a bunch of stuff like that.
I guess that's why property values are so low.
/s
lol, what's "some years"? 30? 40?
The parts with the federal buildings are.
It would appear that, within the DCPD, somebody is retaliating against somebody else. Maybe they are juking their stats; maybe they aren't and that's merely retaliation for the EEOC complaint.
Either way, The Wire already addressed this subject:
DC's homicides are also down 30%.

You really think martial law is the solution to minor crime?
Oddly, crime went down by approximately the same amount in most major US cities meaning that Giuliani's tactic of trampling citizens' rights based on race/ethnicity, gender, age and neighborhood traumatized a generation of young men for no good reason.

Oh, I think it had the result Guiliani and his backers wanted. See for example the precursor that lead to his election:
