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

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.

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.

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.

Its a week long get a grip.

Saw Detroit PD doing this too.

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.

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.

That’s rather rude. (But expected.)
