National Mall Graffiti: 8647 Etched into Grass Triggers Police Probe

The numbers 8647 were etched into the grass on the National Mall, a symbol reportedly signaling opposition to President Donald Trump. US Park Police are investigating the markings as vandalism ahead of a UFC event tied to Trump’s birthday, with emergency vehicles blocking the area and grass samples collected for testing. Interior officials condemned the act as deranged vandalism and said threats to the president are taken seriously, while the origin and exact timing of the markings remain unclear and a past shell-display incident involving James Comey is noted.

Body-cam footage released in fatal shooting of 17-year-old by Park Police in Washington, DC.

Body-cam footage released by the U.S. Park Police shows an officer fatally shooting a 17-year-old in Washington D.C. last month after the officer climbed into the back of a vehicle to detain the teen and was still inside when he drove away. The footage reveals officers strategizing for how to take him into custody as he sat, apparently asleep, in the front seat of a vehicle they believed to be stolen. The Martin family is calling for the Park Police officers to be publicly identified and for the one who killed her son to be prosecuted and terminated.
