Clay Street is part of the NE shitland, however this was done at around three in the afternoon. Brazen thy name is black thugs matter.

The attack took place Tuesday in the 6000 block of Clay Street NE when officers responded to reports of a shooting at 2:54 p.m., the Metropolitan Police Department said.

The gunman gained entry into a residential facility by posing as a police officer, dressed all in black with a vest emblazoned with “police” and a star badge around his neck, according to photos taken from surveillance video.

According to the preliminary investigation, once he was inside “and after a brief conversation,” the gunman “produced a handgun and discharged it multiple times, striking both victims,” police said.

The gunman claimed he was an officer serving a warrant on one of the juveniles housed at the privately owned facility, NBC Washington reported.

“He recognized that individual who was in the facility, immediately pulled out a handgun and started shooting at that individual,” Police Cmdr. John Haines told the station.

They knew he wasn’t a cop because he didn’t shoot the dog and he hit the target.

The shooting comes days after burglars claiming to be FBI agents, dressed in tactical gear and carrying flashlights and guns, forced their way into a home in the 1700 block of Bay Street SE on Dec. 14, the station reported.

Naaah, those were real FBI agents.

So many police forces have been so awful they need to clean their own feces filled cages before anyone trusts anything related to them. It is perfectly reasonable to think this shooter WAS a real cop. Why wouldn’t we? The “premier” law enforcement agency, “ The FBI” has shown to be a secret police to destroy the enemies of the democrat party, They are not to be trusted because they are crooked lying thugs who will do anything.

I have to admit it's a good opportunity for criminals to act like the police and FBI do, especially with No-Knock approaches to stealing everything “as evidence.”

We need to be able to kill invaders in our homes, as the law in many states says.

Last year a killer was coming up alongside cars on the Detroit freeways and taking aim at drivers, but especially their loved ones. Went on for weeks.

One little black girl in the back seat was shot and “struggling for her life in the hospital” as the police said. “We know you know who is doing this. You people in the neighborhood we described know a relative or a friend who can locate this man to help us solve this but you are remaining silent. Be loyal to that little girl, not to him.”

What that article failed to mention was that that particular facility housed juveniles awaiting trial for serious crimes, and was supposed to be a secret safe house, known only to members of the DC law enforcement and justice systems.

It was a targeted hit by someone who needed to quiet a witness.
