Oh ok. I was gonna ask if the cops have put them out. All that’s missing is an MRAP and you’d have the perfect “military takeover” image.

MPD rep said in a public call hosted by some DC city council members on 8/25 that MPD was working with HSI but they federal groups werent in MPD cars or using MPD equipment. That appears to be no longer accurate if this pic is accurate.

It was on this call. I believe it was recorded. wtop.com/dc/2025/08/d...

Do you have any sense of why they would lie about this when it is something they are allowed to do? I'm completely baffled.

MPD stressed working hard to build local relationships/ trust & maintain them, so perhaps to try to put some distance between themselves & federal folks? maybe he meant national guard instead but thats not my memory. The councilman or neighborhood advocacy commission might have recordings.

Oh I have a recording of one of them. Which is enough. I just cannot for the life of me understand why they’re lying since the eo says they can do it. Suddenly I have every incentive to chase them around getting in MPD vehicles because the footage is more valuable.

Yeah I wasn’t able to find the recording, which I actually already been looking for since I had missed the meeting. I previously messaged the journalist who wrote the story and haven’t heard back, but I talked to Ankit and he confirmed they said it to him a different time

But based on what I’ve seen on TikTok it’s never been true at all. But no one’s really covering Trinidad or eotr.

Weren't those placed ahead of time by Antifa, to throw at ... oh never mind.
