Excerpt: "As D.C. the #NationalGuard arrived at their headquarters Tuesday, for many residents, the prospect of federal troops surging into #neighborhoods represented an alarming violation of local agency. To some, it echoes uncomfortable historical chapters when politicians used language to paint historically or predominantly #BlackCities and [#BlackNeighborhoods] with racist narratives to shape public opinion and justify aggressive police action."

Trump's DC police takeover echoes history of racist narratives about crime

President Donald Trump's rhetoric in his federal takeover of Washington police echoes that of conservative politicians going back decades who've denounced American cities with majority non-white populations or progressive leaders as crime-ridden and in need of outside intervention. The Republican president has taken control of Washington’s law enforcement and ordered National Guard troops to deploy onto the streets of the nation’s capital. Guard troops arrived at their Washington headquarters Tuesday. Trump argues the extraordinary move is a response to a public safety crisis. Advocates in Washington's Black community say they'd been preparing for a potential federal crackdown since 2020, when Trump deployed U.S. troops during racial justice protests after George Floyd's killing.
