Forget Being The World's Policeman; The Federal Government Can't Even Keep DC Safe

 As the US federal government works to "Bring peace" to the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and East Asia, it faces a rather embarrassing problem.

Members of the federal government are personally feeling it.

Again, this ought to be especially embarrassing for the leaders of the federal government.

The federal government is in charge of most of DC's criminal justice system, so it carries a lot of responsibility for what's happening.

The true root of the problem is that government has monopolized the protection of person and property.

It's made even worse when governments refuse to provide the very service they monopolized.

If the federal government fails to offer that in its own backyard, why expect it to do better anywhere else?
