What Mayor Bowser will not state about real history of police abuse | TheHill

The media has concluded that Muriel Bowser is winning against the White House in the battle over law and order in Washington. This is a heroic tale that broadly features her denouncing the federal crackdown on peaceful protesters in Lafayette Park last week. This also happens to be untrue, as not only is the District of Columbia responsible for most of the recent use of force on its streets, but she chose a police chief responsible for one of the most costly and abusive crackdowns on protesters in city history.
