This language of cesspool and war zones is not accurate or helpful. Maybe the author should talk to someone that has actually been in a war zone to hear what that actually is. I’m sure it brings clicks and followers though.

DC is a crime cesspool thanks to certain policy makers and their criminal loving anti-police policies. Now it’s like living in a real-life episode of Law & Order: Capitol Edition.
