Making DC safer?

This is a screen shot from a video of a man being detained on Tuesday by law enforcement from various agencies, two blocks from home. Officers were seen detaining people around the neighborhood, often stopping work trucks and questioning the occupants. All the people who were observed being stopped were minority members.

Today, law enforcement was nowhere to be seen in our immediate vicinity; maybe they got bored with our quiet neighborhood and found someplace more exciting to patrol, although a Humvee crashed into an SUV near Eastern Market at 6 a.m., trapping the occupant and damaging the car.

Disgusting.

And it sounds like this is in store for other cities also. Chicago appears to be up soon and Boston will reportedly see an increased ICE presence in response to the mayor's defiance. Where will end?

They don’t seem to be protecting or serving the rights of anyone at this point. An important image for everyone to see. V

I find this very unsettling. I wouldn't want to be there right now as a tourist, so I can imagine how bad it must be for you to have to live with this insanity going around you. This is not the USA. Or it shouldn't be...

Things are going from bad to worse.

This is not what one expects of the USA! It is horrendous, and is little surprise that people no longer wish to visit, for fear of arrest or worse.

It upsets me so that innocent people can't live their lives here anymore. Good photo documentary. V

I don't think it will make things any safer, I think it will just make things worse. V

the USA's gradual advance to becoming a police state is scary...no wonder international tourists are staying safely away..

It looks like the USA is entering the twilight zone! I mean, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Just when you think it can't get worse ... it does!
