Crime has gone down in the last several years and decades. What are you talking about? You are safer today then when you were clueless walking through “old DC”

Fight me TRASH

Thanks, powerful stuff but it works. No one calls them out. 🤷‍♂️

I would have been like “yo, trash, pick up your trash. Then stared them dead in the eyes.”

Same goes for cigarettes buds and trash. If you live those in the street, you’re TRASH 🗑️

Dumb. How do you work at a library you’re illiterate.

Yep called it, libertarian.

Well that’s different because DC is blue. We would harass white supremists. They don’t have a place in our community. Peaceful marchers responding to a brutal murder to show respect and solidarity with the family and to demand reform, this community supports. I’m starting to think the people of this sub Reddit are either fake liberals or closeted republicans/librarians.

No one in DC is going to hard marchers. Their presence makes it feel like we live in a police state and prevent us from feeling free. The violent hand of the state always present ready to pounce. Expecting the worst from people.

Why do the police intimidate marchers like that? It’s the issue excess police presence in communities that caused this in the first place?

I agree. I see police is the misc catch all for the failure of other systems. Speeding, we need speed camera, domestic abuse, we need counseling and mental health as well as better paying jobs to prevent financial stress, burglary, we need locks and alarms and insurance that is affordable.

All the things police respond to can be addressed in other ways and more effectively.

Sorry about my comment above but I had hope that diversity would at least stop THIS level of brutality from occurring. But hey, that idea seems to have triggered a lot of folks based on the number of down votes. 🤷‍♂️

DC Mod team says this post isn’t relevant to DC, yet the post connects national police statistics with false statistics reporting by the DC police falsely filing the burglary as missing property. Not sure how this isn’t relevant to DC. Also of those 614 some are no doubt lists lives from the DMV area at the hands of the various police forces.

The right call black folks dogs, sorry, I’m on edge. I expect racists will come for this post.

Get out of here with your dog whistles trash

I tell my Republican family members I am a go go dancer at number nine and other gay events, then tell them all about the house I own in the city because the job makes great money.

I’ve never just ACCIDENTALLY murdered someone. How is 13% accidental deaths at all an acceptable number?

Thank you Mr logical internet human. I appreciate you.

Well someone is triggered. I’m not your counselor, go discuss that energy with a mental health professional. Chick Fil A is homophobic and as a gay man I know what they company has funded. I’m not an ally, and clearly neither are you.

I’m honestly wondering why five BLACK police officers attack and beat to death another black man. Normally the cops are white and racist. Something else seems to be driving this one. I fear it is either homophobia, gang, or someone knew something about the victim such as who he’s sleeping with or something. Black cops don’t just beat up black men.

I mean, the video is from a street camera. The police did not have their body cameras on. That’s an institutional issue that should have been fixed decades ago. The police decision the men were in was named Scorpion 🦂. Does that seem like a Community Safety based police culture? I know the acronym is stands for something about protection and safety but clearly the name was dreamed up by a room full of toxic male energy. Why were five officers called to a traffic stop? That should have been a red flag.

The police chief has seen the footage and she is trying to take the hot air out of the room but is she addressing how she could have prevented this? How her department policies could have stopped 5 men from going to a traffic stop?

You don’t just beat a man to death out of the blue, all five of these men no doubt displayed behavior prior to this incident that the department should have picked up on.

We also don’t know if this was a homophobic hate crime. And we all know police need reform ACROSS this country including right here in DC. A protest would show the DC police that we as a community will not stand for violence and murder against any one in our community.

This subreddit is 100% accurate reflection of life in DC and the people. This is also true of the internet at large. ;)

Trinidad 🇹🇹

Chick-fil-a is homophobic. As a progressive city people should not buy things from them. We should all stand together for every group.
