In reply to followup on the DC shooting,

So where are the cops--or social workers--going to come from to break up parties like this? Why would cops bother, it will only mean more protests against brutally breaking up a minority population having fun? Or why would unarmed social workers want to risk their lives to try to mediate arguments at a block party so they don't end up with shooting?

followup on the DC shooting, was at a cookout, sounds horrific, with at least 3 shooters in a crowd of hundreds of people, at least a hundred bullets

At least 20 people shot, one fatally, at a party attended by hundreds in Southeast Washington

By Peter Hermann, Michael Brice-Saddler and Clarence Williams @ WashingtonPost.com, August 9, 2020 at 6:48 p.m. EDT

A 17-year-old was killed and an off-duty D.C. police officer was fighting for her life after authorities said at least 20 people were shot when a dispute broke out early Sunday at a cookout attended by hundreds of people in Southeast Washington.

D.C. police said at least three shooters opened fire from different locations about 12:30 a.m. on Dubois Place in the Greenway neighborhood, sending panicked partygoers racing for cover and others screaming for friends and relatives.

The dead teenager was identified as Christopher Brown.

“I really don’t understand how my child’s life is just gone,” said the victim’s mother, Artecka Brown, 33. She said she last spoke to her son two days ago when she hugged him and told him “I love you.”

The unidentified off-duty police officer, who apparently was at the party, was critically injured and was “fighting for her life,” D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham said. Officials said the officer, who is 22 years old and has been on the force about one year, was struck in the neck.

Authorities said there was a dispute before shots were fired, and police said they think there were exchanges of gunfire. At least 11 of the victims were women. Police initially said 21 people had been shot, but later determined one of the injured victims had not been struck by a bullet.

Videos posted on social media show revelers partying shoulder-to-shoulder near Dubois and 34th streets. After the shots, some victims fell while others scattered; the crime scene sprawled for blocks, with police marking 170 pieces of evidence. Police said nearly 100 bullets were fired.

The party and the tragedy that ensued revived questions about large gatherings that flout Mayor Muriel E. Bowser’s order that prohibits groups larger than 50 people and requires those older than 2 to wear a mask when they leave home and are likely to come into contact with others. The mask requirement, one of the strictest in the nation, was toughened recently after cases began to spike [....]

The deceased's mother says cops should have broken up the crowd because the gathering was against pandemic regs:

here is a NBC local station video report

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/1-dead-20-hurt-when-gunfire-erupts-at-dc-block-party/2386358/

Reports that police pulled out because there weren't enough of them to break up the crowd, even though against pandemic regs. That they are going to have to do better at breaking up crowds, and the community needs to understand that some people will have to go to jail when they do that.

This was yet another DC shooting of a young black man:
