How’s it going D.C.? We’re here once again to highlight our completely non-objective picks for the week’s best commentary.

Hopefully, everyone went outside and enjoyed the warm(ish) weather last week – here at What’s That You Say?, we took the chance to eat curbside, air out the apartment, and catch our first Nationals game of the season. But with the weather getting warmer and the days getting longer, there’s bound to be a spike in crime. In order to better monitor the streets for criminal activity, the District is giving MPD access to 5,200 CCTV cameras. While 51 percent of you think it’s a good idea as planned, if we managed to implement the idea that Jamie presents – our Comment of the Week – we’ll all be sitting inside quite a bit more throughout these nice spring evenings:

I’m all in favor of the cameras, but only if we can all check ’em out online anytime we want. You want community policing? I say, open the floodgates. Instead of reading DCist all day long and surfing porn all night, we could all be fascinated by clicking through the 2,400 cameras and watching crimes in progress.

Talk about good money management! The police department would be almost guaranteed that some voyeur is watching at any given time, and would call the cops if a crime was in progress. I can’t think of a downside, honestly. If it’s legal to stand on a streetcorner and watch the happenings, why shouldn’t we be able to do so virtually. Leverage the paranoid population of DC to monitor the cameras, we’ll all be safer.

After the jump, we’ve got comments galore to show off.
