Chances are that many of the motorcades you’re seeing and hearing this week are escorting the families of fallen officers to events being held in their honor which are happening throughout the city. I have been part of one. I agree re the inconvenience and frustration many of us are experiencing as a result but I also know personally multiple kids who grew up in part without their dads and acknowledgment of their loss and the sacrifice - truly the ultimate sacrifice - their families have had to make is incredibly important and absolutely deserved.


^This x1,000,000

DC is the land of motorcades all year. Everything is going to be okay. Some sirens for families of the fallen are a minor inconvenience.

After the recent shooting in Tenleytown, seems to me there are a whole lot of anti police people begging for additional patrols so that they can continue shopping at Whole Foods and Target without worrying about stray bullets.

It’s a week. Get real.

I am not anti-police and I would prefer additional patrols in DC but none of these people are working. They are here on vacation. What are you not getting about this argument?


I also would like more active duty officers. This is Spring Break for cops.

If it were then great but it’s not.


Name a safer week. We’ll all wait.

Happy Police Week to those that risk their lives for us.

I'm picturing you as fat with bad blond highlights and your cop husband lets you tag along to "the big city" with him for the week but then doesn't pay any attention to you - bc he's drinking with his buddies - so that's why you comment dumb shit like this on a local message board.

Yeah people visiting from out of town are dying to hop on the cesspool that is DCUM. You are not as special as you think you are lady. I’m picturing you as painfully thin with a horse face and a giant stick up your ass. 🙄

So you think I’m skinny?

People here should sign up for a night ride along instead of watching the Hallmark Channel.

You're conflating two different things.

I don't hate cops, although I am sure some here do. I do not want to defund the police. I like cops and want them working in my neighborhood. Key word WORKING. I do not want random cops who aren't even DC cops blaring their sirens and flashing their lights at all hours.

Tattoos and fat stomachs all around at the pool.

I think Omni and Hilton are the two main hotels, hence the neverending motorcades down Conn Ave. between Woodley Park and Dupont.

Snowcrete, dumbass. Everyone was at home and there weren't drunk loser cops all over.


DV skyrocketed during that event.


So? Cops don't have anything to do with preventing DV or helping victims.
