DC Recruiting Center Under Attack: Rocks and Paint Bombs: Cops Under Orders to do Nothing
On-Scene Call From Kristinn | March 19, 2008

Posted on 03/19/2008 1:48:04 PM PDT by tgslTakoma

Just got a call from Kristinn on-scene.

This is the SECOND round of attacks that the station and Freepers have withstood today.

Cops are clearing the street of cars so the violent radicals can march down the street to the recruiting center unencumbered.

Crowds have been throwing rocks, paint bombs in GLASS bottles, water bottles, and anything esle they can throw.

MPDC Chief Cathy Lanier was there before the attacks, ORDERING HER OFFICERS to DO NOTHING if the station was attacked.

No arrests are being made.

More info as I get it.

Kristinn is asking any Freepers and Friends in the area to come down and stand with the Freepers there now.

Be aware that this is not a place for children.

fwiw, i ALWAYS "have a burr under my saddle" when i know of "law enforcement executives", who are more/only interested in $$$$$$$, POWER & "kowtowing to" the DIMocRAT "leadership".

if "kathy, the KOOK" had either HONOR/brains/GUTS, she would either ENFORCE the LAW or RESIGN.

as you know, i spent over 25 years "behind the badge" as a city/county/parish/state/federal officer &, as a general rule, have little USE and/or RESPECT for LE "executives"; most of the "leadership" would "sell their soul" for more $$$$$$$.

You know I’ve seriously been search engineing the pittsburgh thing all day and haven’t found one inkling of news on what was supposed to happen... maybe, hopefully nothing did. we should call them and just ask if anything happened there for some reason i think they chickened out . . .gee and i wrote letters to my state government and everything about what was supposed to happen. . .

Chief Lanier has spent her entire law enforcement career with the Metropolitan Police Department, beginning in 1990. Most of her career has been in uniformed patrol, where she served as Commander of the Fourth District, one of the largest and most diverse residential patrol districts in the city. She also served as the Commanding Officer of the Department’s Major Narcotics Branch and Vehicular Homicide Units.

Someone at MPD Communications just fussed at us on our blog over this. They are stating that there was no request to do nothing.

Nice picture of a bunch of imbeciles, eh? Protesting the deaths of journalists? Maybe they should be vandalizing some journalism schools, newspapers, broadcast stations, and magazines. Or better yet, picketing al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Good thing they took her mug from the chest up...

I bet her arse fits the seat she sits in all day real well...

Wonder if she’s gotten to all those voicemails yet...

I believe in rehabilitation...I told her she could have a job down here in Houston if this one doesn’t work out...

Not to be a doubting Thomas, but what is the source of the info that says the Chief ordered officers to make no arrests? I called the number for her office to inquire and was directed to a PR guy. He neither confirmed nor denied but told me he “had no knowledge of such an order”.

I believe you, but it would be nice to be able to point back to a source we can confirm.

Shades of Berkeley only worse!

What is wrong with the authorities that they won't uphold the rule of law?

Totally unacceptable

Shame!

Stay safe.

Which as repoorted by Meleane Morgan, you all did.
