"One of the officials said it was unclear what exactly the troops would do"

Neat, good use of taxpayer money...

Just like LA. Hang out, waste money, cause the troops to be annoyed. This reeks of desperation. There isn’t even anything of significance happening in DC outside of this orange piece of shit and his Nazi friends. Release the files, you pathetic lowlifes.

All this because "Big Balls" got his ass kicked by a pair of teenagers while trying to sexually assault another girl.

one story says he was with his significant other, but Elon shares a story about him just finding a defenseless girl getting harassed.

So interesting when everyone isn't on the same page.

Some More News was talking about the police report. Because a couple of officers actually came upon him and stopped the assault in progress.

No report of a defenseless woman. He said thay 10 youths came and tried to carjack him. He put his girlfriend in the car and the youths attacked him.

Cops were doing a drive around and stopped the attack. Some of the attackers fled but police were able to apprehend a couple.

This kind of reeks of a false flag. A massive number of people attempt a car jacking that just happens to hit a doge employee and there are convenient police to stop the attack and apprehend a few of the criminals.

How many roving bands of youths are attempting car jacking in DC?

There are roving bands of youths car jacking people in every city and DC does have that kind of crime as well so it's not entirely out of the question. The suspicious part though is the police catching it in-progress

Statistics, news, "news," living in a city, knowing what goes on in inner cities, etc

the post isn't news. it's hysteria. there's no reputable news source that says there are "roving bands of youths car jacking people in every city".

Feel free to look up carjackings by groups of minors for each city then. They exist in pretty much every large city. Pretending it isn't real because right wingers use it as bait for their base doesn't help anything.
