Did the police get all handsy with you this weekend? During the past three days, the D.C. Police launched another one of its All-Hands-On-Deck efforts in which all available officers were required to work a patrol beat. I saw the police respond in force to several little scenes—but the buzz going around centered on police apparently stopping and ticketing cyclists.

On Sunday, a woman was found dead in her home. She was shot. Three other men were shot as well. The shootings look related. On Saturday night, there was a shooting at 14th and W. Crime must have been light in the Dupont Circle area as the ever-vigilant Borderstan last posted pictures of flowers from his garden.

And, well, the police had to deal with the IMF/World Bank jerks who vandalized those banks. Prince of Petworth spots some possible anti-General Logan graffiti that may more may not be related. But before everyone condemns those out-of-town kids, there seems to be some controversy surrounding protester-cop conflict at 20th and Pennsylvania Avenue on Saturday. DCist noted the incident with a touch of sarcasm. The jokes are hard to resist.

But there are pictures that show a more inconclusive scene that begs the question: Why did the police turn on the marchers? This wasn't a Pershing Park ambush. But it's still worth thinking about.

This morning a very small faction of possible IMF/World Bank Protesters–six jerks–vandalized two banks on P Street. A drive through downtown and in the surrounding area shows that the protesters did not hit any other banks or symbols of crass yuppiedom/corporate greed. The biggest crowds were the ones gathering at a street food cart. The biggest police/fire department scene concerned a man passed out on 16th Street just below Columbia Road.

If the protesters really wanted to do harm to District residents, disrupt their Saturday brunch rituals, they screwed up. Two takeaways from this incident: The protesters don't know anything about D.C, and city residents showed serious courage by not staying indoors on this beautiful day. Here's a rundown of safe activities that residents are currently enjoying.

Protesters broke windows and spray painted the walls of PNC and Wachovia branches on P Street between 14th and 15th Streets. They were promptly arrested this morning. A Street Sense hawker says when he arrived to his post in front of the CVS on P at 9 a.m., the police were already out in force. He tells City Desk that a homeless regular was at the nearby bus shelter and saw the band of a-holes working their magic this morning. Anyway, the protesters did not cause much damage beyond the busted windows.

Wachovia's ATM was still operational!
