I recently walked by CHAZ, Capital Hill Autonomous Zone, now renamed as CHOP (Capitol Hill Organized Protest), and I was uneasy with what I witnessed. Instead of trying to work with the protesters and more importantly, the community and neighborhood that they serve, the police department abandoned the precinct and just left. I heard on the news yesterday that a nearby business owner had called 911 when their shop was being burglarized and police never responded. This is NOT okay.
