The Washington, D.C., police union blamed the city’s recent surge in homicides on police reform measures implemented in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
“Homicides are up 13% over last year’s alarming 20% increase,” police union chairman Gregg Pemberton said in a Tuesday statement. “In Ward 4 … homicides have increased 89% this year. Armed robberies in Ward 2 are up 188% and in Ward 6 up 72%. Year to date, there have been over 360 carjackings in D.C. Well more than one per day,” he said.
