Perhaps you or another DC based member can correct me, but in 4 of the previous 5 decades wasnt DC majority Black in terms of residents, political leadership, and law enforcement forces?

I understand trying to give some grace to these writers, but Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by 5 black police officers in Memphis (60%+ black city)

Black Cops, in Jamaica, Kenya, or The US, are still cops.

DC folks have always been giving these young dudes "the talk".

Like most hoods, you gotta watch out for the cops and the robbers. (c) Al Sharpton.

If thats the case, it would have impacted the relationship between police and residents, and how parents teach/warn their sons about interacting with cops.

The two previous generations of parents grew up in "Chocolate City" DC.
Now their metro area is flooded with white outsider military presence.

I live here, so the idea that DC is "flooded" with white outsider/military presence is kinda wild.
Most of the National Guard is just standing around doing nothing, or taking photos with people - in the white parts of town/the touristy parts of town. I saw a few at Waterfront Station on Sunday.

ICE n'nem? - they're really targeting food delivery drivers and them moped folks. Willing to bet that Home Depot looking like a Ghost Town these days. All the Latin Vendors at Columbia Heights are supposedly gone. (I don't get up that way unless I'm grubbing)

And I walk my hood daily (10,000 steps has taught me way more about SE than anything i've ever done professionally or volunteer wise), different paths every day.

Day 1, I saw a staging area by my local grocery store.
Day 3, I saw National Park Service in Metro PD Caravan.

But for the most part, it's the same set of cops, doing the same stuff, with the same "usual" suspects.

There's not a bunch of guys in desert Camo patrolling MLK or Federals posted up on Minnesota Ave.

Yall been following the Dacara Thompson story? They found her body and the arrested the guy who presumably murdered her. Build the fukkin wall, bruh.


Yes, I've been following this story, and I just heard the bad news. This involving Hyattsville, and Bowie, hits too close to home. They don't usually mess with our women like that in those areas, but today it wouldn't surprise me, after I took my car to have some work done at that Firestone off Riverdale Rd. in Riverdale last September, which sits right next to the now closed Riverdale Theater. I got my first real apartment within walking distance from there, after living in this real small start-up apartment in Langley Park for a year. Anyway, this area in Riverdale had turned into mostly foreigners by the early 80's, after formerly being populated by mostly poor white trash. But those foreigners didn't bother us, but they'd cut a white boy up at the drop of a hat. Even though they had gangs, they still didn't mess with us, even though there were only a few of us in those apartments...not even a handful, tbh. The funny thing was, the few sisters that lived in those apartments, were all fine, and I mean fine.

But when I went to have my car worked on at that same Firestone in September, and decided to take a walk in my old neighborhood across the street in those apartments, I nearly got jumped...and I'm an old dude compared to when I first moved there 37 years ago, and stayed for five years. One of those young hispanics had walked past me as I was walking back towards Riverdale Road, and did a bird heckle type sound, the exact same sound this young hispanic dude made back around 92, when his boys came out, ready to slice up this White boy, who had bucked on him. They had that White boy apologizing big time. That White boy knew a few Black people I guess. I believe he had been locked up with the brother I was drinking beer with that night, or he once lived in Palmer Park with him. Anyway, being a white boy, he got a few drinks in him, and started running off at the mouth to that young hispanic dude, and got what he had coming to him, quick. But I never in my darkest day, thought one of those hispanics in that area, would do that bird heckle sound on me, during broad daylight, at my age, for no reason, so close to the main road. That dude probably wasn't even born the last time I walked near those apartments, and on Riverdale Rd.

All I can say is, that environment changed, and we've also became their object of hate, like the white boys did. And they don't respect our elderly men, and never really did, when they're in groups. I've even seen this down here in ATL, and we can't sleep on them. And they care nothing about you being friendly down here. I learned that the first week I moved in my house, and had them put in my hardwood floors, then turned around and refused to put in the trim, since I was alone. I even gave them cold water earlier, when they asked. Now I know those two buzzards were testing me, and took my kindness for weakness...they weren't even young either. And you wonder why so many of us no longer give a f*** about them. We really underestimate the hate and disrespect a lot of them actually have for us.

You may be wondering what Riverdale have to do with this, if you're not from PG. If you are, than you probably know Hyattsville, Riverdale, and Langley Park, are heavily mixed, especially Riverdale and Langley Park. And they're side by side, or very close to one another in that part of PG. However, Bowie got their share of hispanics too. Anyway, when I saw what almost happened to me in September near that Riverdale Firestone, then it doesn't surprise me that this young sister disappeared near this area...although it may have been several miles away. I'm still disturbed by it, and to be honest, I had no problem with ICE rounding up those illegals, after seeing how they now feel about us, and what they're really capable of doing. When they came to the DMV, I was hoping they'd start at Riverdale first. Now, I really hope they step on the gas pedal.

But I still can't help from wondering why she met up with that old creep that late at night in the first place, if the real story is going the way the media has reported it so far. Maybe he was asking for help, then kidnapped her. They tend to trust those types a little too much, especially at that age.

Sorry for being so long-winded here. But like I said, this hits a little too close to home, growing up in PG, and being very familiar with that part.

Met up with the man, got in his car at 3am. And the news said that she was killed in his bedroom in Bowie.

Anybody would wonder about her with that part of the story being out. But why didn't she just drive to his house, since she had her own car, if she was doing what it sounds like you're saying.

Looks like they already jacked that dude up. So they probably all ready got something outta him, as far as what really happened.

Hey I'm not saying anything, it's just a strange set of circumstances that many weren't expecting.

I just feel bad for her and her family.

Wild story

I grew up in Landover, Lanham and Riverdale

I couldn’t imagine that happening to me today. But like 23 yrs ago that happened to me in old Columbia Heights, the Hispanics was on one out there before they built it up

I knew when they said she was missing for 5 plus days, she was gone

When they found the body I said RIP baby girl before they confirmed it

I'm glad they found him. Give his ass 100 years

At least her family has the relief of knowing her killer is behind bars

Almost a decade in SE at this point.

From earlier

I'm guessing this used to be a CVS. This is over by South Capitol before it turns into MD/PG county - right before you get to the Eastover shopping with The Giant (and now Little Caesar's!). Normally this is where some old heads wash cars or sell fireworks.

On the walk back home...

This is on Livingston - I used to see this poster all the time.

Do you know who Ross is? If you do, why is his mug all up in SE of all places?

For those that don't

And apparently you ICE fans/both siders got your wish
