I hope the police lock each one of the protesters up. You have the right to protest lawfully, you do not have the right to block commerce. If you are upset with Ferguson, go there and protest. And if Black Lives really matter, you would focus more on the black on black crime---how many blacks were murdered by other blacks across the country last night? Block traffic- get locked up- for the entire weekend. -

People are gathering at Mt. Vernon Square as of 7:15 a.m.“Today we are rallying here to draw attention to practices of the DCMPD and particularly jump outs,” says Heather Beno, a volunteer with the ANSWER Coalition.
She says "jump outs" are a practice used by MPD where teams of non uniformed officers approach someone and “jump out” military style and stop and frisk him, she says.
"We think racial profiling in D.C. is as much of an issue here as it is anywhere and we want to show the world that we are paying attention to it and want it to end," Beno says.

Many of the protests anger D.C. residents and area commuters, but Heather Beno -- a volunteer with the ANSWER Coalition -- says the message needs to be heard and she hopes the protests influence others to join the cause.
"The point is that the grand majority of people in D.C. want [jump outs] to end," Beno says.
