- Statement from Chief Pamela A. Smith on First Amendment Activity in the District of Columbia
Today, our city once again hosted people who came to exercise their First Amendment rights during a foreign dignitary visit and the Metropolitan Police Department worked alongside our law enforcement partners at the United States Capitol Police, the United States Park Police, and the United States Secret Service to ensure safety around today’s events.
While many people chose to peacefully exercise their first amendment rights in our city, some choose to disobey the law.
MPD arrested and charged five people with Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding after they used locking devices to connect their arms together and block the flow of traffic near the intersection of 4th Street, Southwest, and Independence Avenue, Southwest.
A few hours later, MPD arrested and charged two people for assaulting a police officer after they pushed MPD officers during the protest at Columbus Circle. MPD officers also arrested and charged two additional people for crossing a police line after an officer was assaulted.
The District of Columbia has a long and proud history of peaceful first amendment activities and the Metropolitan Police Department handles hundreds of protests, demonstrations, and other events every year. We will continue to support those who choose to protest peacefully and safely, and we will continue to hold accountable those who commit criminal acts while in our city.
I extend my gratitude and sincere appreciation to the members of the Metropolitan Police Department for assisting our local, state, and federal partners, and especially our community for helping us keep the District of Columbia safe for everyone
