Formerly known as DCFerguson, we are committed to changing the system of racist, militarized policing in DC & beyond
Good catch here by @Meagan_Flynn. White’s bill drew concerns from MPD brass, who said it would be too logistically complicated to expect D.C. officers to document the names of federal agents, especially when they have to secure a crime scene, collect evidence, etc.
A tidbit: @MayorBowser has signed the emergency bill passed by the D.C. Council that requires MPD to disclose body camera footage from local officers patrolling with federal agents if/when they fire their guns or use serious force. It'll be in effect until June 21.
The US Park Police has started 10 police pursuits for traffic or non-violent crimes in the last three weeks. 6 have ended with crashes. wapo.st/3JZYvBq
Bowser seems to hint that she'd be OK with the federal surge continuing beyond the initial 30 days. "I think we're going to have officers. We want to enhance our officer presence," she says.
