So while the community is demanding we #DefundOPD ... OPD is asking for $2,250,000 for a new helicopter and shot spotter ... their logic? Community doesn’t call us when there are shots fired .... ummmm so lets invest in things community will actually utilize #DefundOPD
This is so so so so important!! Cops will not take the time to realize someone is deaf or hard of hearing. The person may not even know the cops are speaking to them..... ACAB

@_anissarz i also have been trying to talk with them more specifically about the media they consume so easily. trying to show them evidence that their media is bias, curated and not inherently objective... asking them to question it— begging them sometimes lol

DC, tonight MPD cops under the authority of @ChiefNewsham and @MayorBowser unleashed tear gas into a private home that took in dozens of protesters after they were cornered off for arrests in a neighborhood.
This is an absolutely disgusting abuse of power by @DCPoliceDept.
