This isn't going to stop with Washington, D.C. or Chicago. Also, taking >100 FBI agents off of whatever they are doing and assigning them as temporary beat cops in DC has to be the dumbest, most wasteful and demoralizing use of federal law enforcement I've seen in a while. The one thing you can be sure about is that the stated reason for these actions -- cracking down on crime -- is not in fact the goal. You know it's not, because that's what they said was the reason.
