We know DC quite well. And we took days off work to come.

No sane person would bring their children to a proud boys riot.

Yes, had we gone the Seattle path and defunded we would be crawling back right now with this same screaming but louder.. It is amazing how tunes change when it is the other guys potentially getting arrested. Glad to see our competent MPD (crowd control/civil disturbance) effectively handling this situation again.

Was downtown this am. All quiet. Lots of police. MPD seems to be doing a great job.

How many times were you shot?

They can huff and puff all tgeyu want like toddlers. Toddlers eventually wear themselves out.

This is the job for many people who would be the likely counter-protestors.

Sad Sad times.

I put nothing past the sitting president's desperate attempts at holding power.

What? No. That's not how it works. The 20th amendment says that at noon on January 20, the president's and vice president's terms end, and the terms of their successors begin.

False. The orange man's term ends at noon on 1/20. It ends. The president-elect can be inaugurated anywhere.

There is no "declare martial law" in the constitution. There are specific applications for the Insurrection Act. And in any of such cases, presidential power changes on 1/20.

"What if we gave a war and nobody came?"

Let them have their cosplay with their props, then leave. They cant afford to stay in hotel rooms for long. I mean, come on, they clearly dont have jobs or they'd be at work on a Wednesday.

Info on arrest of Proud Boys leader referenced in previous post.

Sounds like they are planning on holding him for a few days while they slow walk additional charges. Good work DC

Oh my god. I hate the “defunding” police language but the proposals themselves - to redirect money towards social services - would HELP the police do their job.

I once had an encounter with the police when my DH was deeply depressed and called 911 in a flash of sanity instead of killing himself. We had four police cars at our house, and were treated like criminals. He had to ride to the police station to see a cop “psychologist” in the back of a police car. They physically threatened us when I suggested we speak to his therapist on the phone instead. And we are white, well educated, and our home is worth over 1.3M in a nice neighborhood. I can only imagine what would have happened to us if we weren’t so privileged.

There should have been OTHER public resources available to us, and available to people in need. THAT’S what “defunding” the police is about.

Is bowser going to let them paint trump 2020 on a street

Unarmed. Not so good.

I work downtown and will work from home today and tomorrow. Streets are closed around my building, otherwise I’d go to my office.
