Great point.

And I think that's also what keeps her on her tiptoes, right?
voice-verified
She doesn't want to piss them off and then they're not approving the budgets that they need annually.
voice-verified
So she really does have to rock a tightrope.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
So the problem is that she's right.

voice-verified
It says the president can assume control over the police department.

And here's the distinction.

The requirements for taking over the D.C.
voice-verified
police are different than over the National Guard.
voice-verified
But for the D.C.
voice-verified
police, it must be that he must determine, quote, that special conditions of an emergency nature exist.
voice-verified
but they don't define what an emergency nature is.

voice-verified
I think if there were looting and violence, sure, that would fit this definition.
voice-verified
But here we don't have anything like that.
voice-verified
Rents are extremely high, the highest that they've ever been in D.C.
voice-verified
And that's because crime is lower than it's ever been.
voice-verified
So, yes.
