DC Residents Are Saying The Same Thing About This Clip Of DEA Officers Patrolling The National Mall
On Monday, Donald Trump announced he would be taking over the Washington DC police department and deploying National Guard troops there. One day before that, on Sunday, DC news anchor Lorenzo Hall took this video of DEA police officers patrolling the National Mall: LorenzoHall/Twitter: @LorenzoHall Related: There were a bunch of *viral* responses to the clip. DC political analyst and journalist Tom Sherwood called it "Basically [a] meaningless stroll." Related: @johnmconnollyjr said, "I've lived in DC for 10 years. The only crime I've ever seen on the National Mall was when a mob ransacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021 at the direction of the man who lost the 2020 presidential election." And Aaron Fritschner the Deputy Chief of Staff for Virginia Rep. Don Beyer, pointed out, "The Metropolitan Police Department tracks and publishes the location of all crimes committed in the DC; the map grid section where this video was shot on the National Mall near the Lincoln Memorial has recorded zero (0) crimes so far in 2025: Related: The responses get pretty funny from there: One person said, "6 guys in full uniform on a stretch of the mall where the biggest threat is the mama ducks defending their ducklings from my dog." Another person joked, "You know what screams 'high crime area'? White women jogging." Related: And this person said, "This is cosplay. this is drag. this is banned from entering Florida public schools." Basically, everyone is like: "If you know DC you understand how tremendously goofy this is." Also in BuzzFeed: Also in BuzzFeed: Also in BuzzFeed:

Army sergeant charged with attempted murder in the shootings of 5 Fort Stewart soldiers
Army Base Lockdown SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A U.S. Army sergeant accused of shooting five fellow soldiers at a Georgia base was charged Tuesday with attempted murder, aggravated assault and domestic violence as the Army revealed that one of the victims was the suspect's romantic partner. The charges were issued as Sgt. Quornelius Radford made his first appearance Tuesday in a military courtroom at Fort Stewart, where officials say he opened fire with a personal handgun on members of his supply unit. The hearing officer ordered Radford, 28, to remain in pretrial confinement. Radford was arrested Aug. 6 after officials say soldiers disarmed and restrained him until military police arrived. All five of the wounded soldiers survived the attack. Radford was charged with six counts of attempted murder — the sixth referring to a soldier he shot at and missed, said Michelle McCaskill, a spokesperson for the Army's Office of Special Trial Counsel, which is prosecuting Radford. Radford also faces six counts of aggravated assault and a single count of domestic violence. 'That charge is there because one of the victims was the intimate partner of the accused,' McCaskill said. She said she did not know whether Radford's partner was among the five people he wounded. The Army has not released the victims' names. Fort Stewart officials have declined to comment on the shooter's motives. Under military law, attempted murder carries a potential penalty of life imprisonment. Radford was represented by Army defense attorneys at his hearing Tuesday. Phone and email messages left with Fort Stewart's Trial Defense Service were not immediately returned. Now that he's been charged, Radford faces pretrial proceedings to determine whether there is enough evidence for him to stand trial by court-martial. The largest Army post east of the Mississippi River, Fort Stewart is home to thousands of soldiers assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division. It is located about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southwest of Savannah. Radford served as a supply sergeant in the division's 2nd Armored Brigade. Army records show he enlisted in 2018. Soldiers in Radford's unit said they followed the sound of gunfire into the hallways of an office building where they found hazy gunsmoke in the air and wounded victims on the floor and in nearby offices. Brig. Gen. John Lubas, the 3rd Infantry's commander, credited soldiers with saving lives by immediately rendering first aid, in some cases using their bare hands to staunch bleeding gunshot wounds. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll visited Fort Stewart the day after the shootings to award Meritorious Service Medals to six soldiers who helped restrain the gunman and treat the victims.

The move would appeal to Trump's MAGA base.
An ex-DOGE staffer known as 'Big Balls' could end up receiving the highest civilian honor in the United States, placing him in the company of luminaries such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa. Two weeks after 19-year-old Edward Coristine was viciously assaulted during a carjacking in Washington D.C., the White House says it would consider giving the administration official a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his bravery. The issue was raised during a White House briefing in which press secretary Karoline Leavitt invited MAGA pundit Benny Johnson to ask the first question, as has become customary under the new administration.
