city of open air drug markets, open prostitution, projects devastated by crack, serious underclass child neglect issues... a police station in DC is no place for a 12 year old, unless said 12 year old has just committed a homicide. I realize that this is the *transit* police so they have little control over a lot of this, but I've felt pretty unsafe any number of times while waiting for a bus at a Metro station and I think their efforts are better spent there.
