This morning, at 6:15AM, a cop car with sirens followed by 3-4 large military vehicles were heading north on 8th St SE and one of the military vehicles loudly t-boned a vehicle heading southwest on North Carolina Avenue SE. From my viewpoint, this was clearly not an intentional stopping/crashing of a vehicle.
Following the crash, a group of national guard hopped off to go see what had happened.
Im curious if the person in the car is okay

All I can say is I have two elementary school age kids and I am beyond horrified that this is what back to school looks like for the 125,000 children of the district. DC and our fellow citizens have to push congress to decline to authorize further occupation after 30 days. This is state sponsored violence and terrorism of civilians.
Accidents happen but it seems totally unnecessary to have MRAPs rolling through our narrow city streets. NC Ave SE and 8th St. SE is near Eastern Market, a residential neighborhood with plenty of children and families. Schools are starting back around this time in August which increases morning traffic.
