And it lists her injuries as “none,” even though she was shot at least eight times and died on her hallway floor in a pool of blood, according to attorneys for her family.
The police department acknowledged errors in the report that it said was the result of the reporting program creating a paper file.

Assistant Police Chief of the Criminal Investigations Bureau Deanna Nollette said, “We have heard anecdotally reports of citizens and businesses being asked to pay a fee to operate within this area.” Nolette added, “There is no legal right for those arms to be used to intimidate community members. This is the crime of extortion."
The funny thing is the linked article squashed this rumor as false – which was ignored by the author of this one.
The New York Times had a differing perspective reporting, “What has emerged is an experiment in life without the police—part street festival, part commune. Hundreds have gathered to hear speeches, poetry and music.

On Wednesday, children made chalk drawings in the middle of the street.”
“Those monsters!”

The Fox News headline was “CITY UNDER SIEGE” Huh. I wonder what historical siege they might compare it to. Maybe the Siege of Coney Island? The Siege of Brighton Beach?
Like dogs marking their territory. Only not as cute.

The D.C. police’s budget under this proposal would be $580 million. Like Biden’s $300 million plan to just keep giving more money to a demonstrably broken system, this is less “I hear you” and more “shut up”.

Will we see this lie repeated here at some point in the future by our least favourite oat bar or pancake?

Dang. Both proud of my city and terrified of the implications of those crowds during the pandemic.
