    DC is more subject to federal law that the states. It is under the direct control of the Congress. It has a non voting representative, and has only been allowed to vote for president since 1961.

    I just did a google search on the DC police department. All their contact information is on this website: http://app.dc.gov/apps/about.asp?page=htru&type=dsf&referrer=mpdc.dc.gov&agency_id=1027&mpdcNav=|31417|

    And, to contact the chief, you can use the form on this website: http://app.dc.gov/apps/about.asp?page=atd&type=dsf&referrer=mpdc.dc.gov&agency_id=1027&mpdcNav=|31417|

    I will definitely be dropping a phone call. I would break the ice by asking them for their side of the story (since the police refused to tell their side of the story, in the video). Not that this arrest is justifiable, but I just think that it would just be diplomatic to hear both sides.

    And if, after hearing both sides, it still seems like bullshit (which I suspect it will), I think that that would be the appropriate time to express outrage.

    Just how I would go about doing it. Use your own sense, and do what you will.

    Peace,

    Could anyone who knows the whole story share here for those of us who don't have sound cards and can't watch it on Youtube? Thanks.

    if you recieve any information, please let us know what they said; though I doubt they'll even answer your questions since its a "private matter".... or perhaps they'll make a statement? I can't imagine what they could possible say to defend themselves and make what they did right...

    This is such stupid bullshit. Seriouslly the fucking pigs just stand there in silence, but when they get back to the pig station they'll laugh about it all.
    Its like a video I watched once of cops shooting rubber bullets at an innocent women for protesting, THEN the police chief laughed at her and told them to go get some more.
    They shot her in the head BTW.

    welcome to the USA, home of the free... there is no real freedom of speech here. Sure, say what you want, but once you start talking about freedom and people's rights, better watch out.
