theguardian.com
. News reports noted that official crime statistics
did not support the president’s claim of a “lawless” capital
. The following comedic dialogue imagines two residents reacting to this news.
Alice: Did you hear that President Trump announced he's taking control of our city’s police department?
Bob: He said D.C. is “lawless,” but our city is full of museums and schools, not criminals.
Alice: He even said, "We will take back our capital!"
Bob: Well, I’m not worried—I have a police license, so they won’t arrest me.
Alice: Good plan; maybe we should practice our patrols then.
Bob: Right; I'm a law-abiding citizen, so I doubt they'll bother with me.
Alice: Soon they'll probably want to register our dogs with ID tags!
Bob: Haha, no way—my dog isn’t a criminal, he's our brave little guard.
Alice: Let's get some coffee because our heads are spinning from all this news.
Bob: Good idea—nothing like a cup of coffee to keep cool in a hot city!
