Last night, as my partner and I walked home, we witnessed a plainly excessive local & federal police operation to apprehend ONE (1) elderly unhoused woman who, as far as we could tell, was doing nothing more than sitting on a stoop. Not only MPD, but also FBI, USSS, IRS (?!), and of course our favorite mystery personnel in “federal agent” vests. Neighbors were absolutely panicked. The apprehended woman has been a neighbor for decades. The massive response was terrifying and deeply unnecessary. We need better leadership on these issues and we need the correct responses to various situations. Police should be involved where a crime has taken place. A phalanx of armed officers to bundle away one elderly woman is not what we mean by public safety.

The people who oppress our communities are not welcome in our communities. DC, no matter where you are tonight, bring noisemakers, pots and pans, GoGo on the stereo, whistles, chants, or any other way to MAKE NOISE so Trump hears we want FEDERAL FORCES OUT NOW — FREE DC.



Per D.C. National Guard, one of the vehicles in this accident was an M-ATV, an armored tactical vehicle with a V-shaped hull designed to deflect roadside bombs. They have commonly been used in war zones for years, and weigh about 14 tons each.
