Last June, amid protests in D.C., police penned demonstrators into a block of Swann Street in Northwest D.C., arresting and pepper-spraying those out past curfew and leading residents to take others into their houses while police roamed outside trying to make more arrests.
A new report claims D.C. police used tactics that escalated the situation, and calls on the D.C. Council to reconsider the rules under which police operate in such situations.
The report from the American Civil Liberties Union of D.C., the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs and Sidley Austin LLP, was compiled from more than 50 interviews with protesters and residents who took them into their homes, as well as photos and video footage of the night in question.

Wicked Local
Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll has made public the names of four finalists vying to be the city s next police chief.
The city kicked off the search for the next police chief last month. In early December, the Salem City Council OK’d a $30,000 request from Driscoll to fund what she has described as an intensive and robust assessment center for evaluating candidates.
“As a diagnostic tool, it can evaluate the knowledge, skills, abilities and personal characteristics of candidates,” wrote Driscoll in a Dec. 3 cover letter to her funding request. “Candidates engage in a program of activities and simulations correlated to tasks that they would be expected to carry out as a successful chief.”
