I am just getting to read this thread now...

I can’t believe so much is going on today.

The paint is bad enough, I hope all are safe!

They are safe. The cops got hit with the brunt of the attack, and they were under STRICT ORDERS TO DO NOTHING, by order of the sharp-dressing new police chief, Cathy Lanier, and the DC City Council.

Maybe the rank and file officers should consider a sick-out or a no-confidence vote in protest of the higher-ups endangering not only their lives, but the lives and property of DC residents and workers.

I can just imagine what my father, a DC native, would say, "F*** the police chief and council! If they won't let the cops do what needs to be done, then let the whole F***ing city burn to the ground. It'd be a big damned improvement on what we have now."

He didn't often mince words.
