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.

I think there are going to be an awful lot of pissed-off LEOs after this day is over.

The union should call for a no-confidence vote on their darling chief.

Kristinn said that a total (so far) of FIVE glass bottle paint bombs have been thrown at the LEOs, the building and the Freepers. What a mess. And the chief has been a willful participant, enabling this to happen.

Pinging Kristinn to your comment, GunnyBob. He won't be back at home until after 9pm, and he doesn't have paper and a pen where he is.

But there is lots of red paint around that he could write the number with.

:-(

Maybe someone has posted this, but I read on FR today and heard on TV that 15 members of Code Pink were arrested for their demonstration and behavior at the IRS building in DC. But not at the DC recruiting center????? What in the world is going on with the police? It is okay to protect the IRS but not recruting centers??? This is absolute insanity!!!!

Azzholes at DC Indymedia have their report up, courtesy of rioter Luke Kuhn, aka Wuke. Their photos:

These police officers should be mightily pissed off at their "chief" Lanier.

Thanks for the kind words. Someone has got to tell the truth and the Troops Story.

I fear it is going to be a long summer.

Clinton is going to steal the nomination, and cities will burn.
