12 Homicide-Free Days in DC: Did the Federal Crackdown Work?

Washington, DC just logged 12 straight days without a homicide as arrests topped 1,000 and more than 100 illegal guns were seized under a Trump-backed federal deployment. In this episode of Spiritual Insurgency, we break down what changed on the ground, how it feels when police presence is visible, and whether operations like this should expand to cities such as Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis—and even what it means for local spots like downtown Colorado Springs.

We cover:

What “12 days homicide-free” actually signals for DC residents and business owners

The trade-offs between public safety and concerns about “militarized” policing

Chicago’s pushback and the broader question: What does a city under strain need?

The economic ripple effects of crime—tourism, nightlife, local jobs, and family routines

Real-world moments: walking Times Square at 2–3 a.m., feeling unsafe near a ballpark, and why some downtowns feel worse at noon than midnight

Could a sustained police presence reset expectations, then scale back? What happens after the streets calm?

If you care about safer communities and civil liberties, this conversation is for you. Drop your thoughts in the comments: Should this model be temporary crisis response, or a new baseline for high-crime corridors?
