Federal Policing of DC Has Made Us Less Safe

“In my 50-some years of community and political ministry, and organizing that resisted Boston’s test with ‘stop and frisk’ after the hoax of Charles Stuart murdering his wife and blaming it on a Black man, I thought I had seen it all. Then when Edward Coristine (a 19-year-old former Department of Government Efficiency worker and software engineer known online as ‘Big Balls’) was assaulted in Dupont Circle in reportedly a carjacking incident it was deja vu of Boston and the neighborhood where I lived, Roxbury, being turned upside down again. I thought I had already seen the worst of white reaction to Blackness, but again I was wrong.” (08/26/25)
