Navy Yard is definitely post-apogee.

From what I gather, a DC Housing Authority officer was shot this morning by the Harris Teeter. Now the whole place looks like a Micheal Bay movie. There’s police everywhere, helicopters flying circles, police tape strung all over. No one can get into or out of our building, everything is shut down for blocks.

My neighbor was shot last summer during a carjacking almost directly across the intersection from where this happened today. There wasn’t this type of police response then. That’s some bulls**t.

I’m so over this whole place place.

I thought you wanted the police to respond. From what I see on X, the guy is holed up in a building. The police are trying to get him out.

They lucked out he didn’t have a scooter, and atv or a car to ride off into the sunset while the police watches due to the no chase policy

It’s Charles Allen that doesn’t want the police to respond.

I don’t understand why we haven’t authorized emergency powers yet

Are you saying that the OP is an Allen supporter?

Those section 8 housing projects across from Nats Park (on third base side) behind Capital Street have the worst crime rate in all their projects.

The AG’s office has even sued the housing authority for not enforcing the law on violent crimes, gun crimes, prostitution and gambling. They allow it to fester, grow, and for their citizens to live in a horrible environment. They should be ashamed of how they allow it to exist.

OP is expressing frustration at living in a crime-ravaged community, not at the police themselves. Stop being purposefully obtuse. It’s not cute.

The only criticism I have for the police is that my neighbor certainly didn’t get this kind of response when he was shot while being carjacked at pretty much the same place. An hour after it happened there was no clue anything had even occurred. We certainly didn’t have 200 police cars and a tank and swat teams and dogs and snipers and guys in camouflage with machineguns. But my neighbor wasn’t a cop, so I guess ordinary peons like us don’t merit a war mobilization.

Your snark is noted tho.

Exactly. And it’s not cute at all. It’s very dickish.

Wrong part of the neighborhood. Stay on topic.

Stay out of this, Jeff. We don't all get to live in Upper NW like you do.
