Anyone else who lives off Connecticut Ave. sick of the constant sirens from out of town police officers?
Why does the city allow this? I am not anti-cop but allowing police officers who have no jurisdictions here to turn on their sirens as if they're responding to emergencies here in DC (they're really just running red lights) and blocking off traffic for bike riding (as someone posted on Popville) seems to me to be an abuse of power. I don't want to make this a blue lives matter vs. ACAB debate. Again, I am not anti-cop. I just don't know why the city allows this bad behavior. |

| It’s annoying. I’m glad it’s raining on them the whole week. |

| They are also parking illegally all over town. At 12th and H there’s a massive truck and trailer parked illegally for two days now. Blocking crosswalk and partially blocking access to my buildings garage. So ridiculous. Thanks Orlando police. |

That’s rather rude. (But expected.) |

Police are "The King's Men" and can do no wrong comrade. They get to get away with actual murder most of the time that would have non-police citizens put in jail. So playing with sirens is not surprising at all. |

| I saw yesterday a bunch of police having a motorcade for themselves? All motorcycle escorts, no car being escorted. |

Like Rolling Thunder? I don’t see a problem with this. |

I mean...no, because Rolling Thunder is a charity event to honor veterans. DC police week motorcycle escorts are just out of town cops playing with sirens in order to run red lights and make their dinner reservation faster on vacation. |

Are you in town with your husband this week? Otherwise I'm not sure why a few mild complaints on a message board would trigger you. |

And this honors police officers, many of whom are also veterans. This week doesn’t bother me. But I also am not the type to get angry and bitter over things. |

| It’s a shame Pride Month isn’t starting sooner so there’s be a bunch of leather parades while all these cops are thugging their way around the city. Let them surrounded by guys in chaps with nipple jewelry while they sit in traffic with their kids lolz |
