Thousands protest federal control of DC police as Trump's order nears end

Описание: Thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of the nation’s capital this weekend to protest President Donald Trump’s emergency takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), now entering its fourth week.

On Saturday, advocates of D.C. home rule and the ACLU organized one of the largest demonstrations yet, branded “We Are All D.C.”. Marchers carried a massive banner reading “End the D.C. Occupation” as they walked more than two miles from Meridian Hill Park to a downtown plaza, demanding that local authority over policing be restored.
