Why would this be canceled? Are we still not under occupation?

D.C. Mayor approved and extended National Guard support.

Can you cite a source for these figures?

104 murders now as of September 2, per MPD:

The 101 figure is off by 1. There were 100 murders as of August 11, 2025, the day before the guard was deployed:

That’s 4 murders from August 12 - September 2 in a city that saw 100 homicides between January 1 and August 11, around a 14 murders/month average. It’s around a 300% decrease in the murder rate.

"Didn't have "Getting pepper-sprayed by ICE and The National Guard at Union Station" on today's bingo card, but here we are!
(I'll be fine.)
Hundreds of commuters transferring from Metro to Amtrak or Marc, as my escalator delivers me into a loud chaotic scene. About 40-50 people in various levels of uniforms & body armor are chasing, tackling, handcuffing middle school aged kids still wearing their school uniforms. One child who couldn't have weighed more than 90lbs had 7 officers on top of her being cuffed.
Meanwhile, another officer is casually walking the perimeter spraying his pepper spray into the air, directly at cornered bystanders in corners, at people filming and directly into the crowds at the top of the escalator!
Clueless commuters are being carried up, too late to go anywhere else, only to arrive into a surge of people trying desperately to escape back down the same escalator.
I'm not an expert, but I have been trained in crowd management strategies, dispersion, and de-escalation of mob mentality and that was NOT it!
What i saw was a completely irresponsible, dangerous strategy being employed to escalate actions and incite the crowd to riot, likely to create more detainments, aka victims.
The president posted just yesterday that DC was "crime-free" yet today i witness multiple assaults, battery, false imprisonment, instigating and inciting, reckless endangerment, possibly even attempted murder in the case of forcing a crowd into an already crowded escalator going the opposite direction.
The District is NOT crime free.
It is more crime ridden now than it ever has been and the crime is being committed by those charged to prevent it!
A daily commute shouldn't include trying to dodge pepper spray and holding a milk-soaked rag over my face to calm the burning."

If you read it on the internet it must be true.
