Site of mass arrests, Washington street epitomizes the complexities of George Floyd protests via hunterw
WASHINGTON — Swann Street is a normally quiet stretch between the well-heeled neighborhoods of Dupont and Logan Circles. But for hours on Monday evening and Tuesday morning, this picturesque block of small, historic row houses was filled with pepper spray, the sounds of flash-bang grenades and police wagons filled with arrested protesters.
An Washington police officer in riot gear wearing a patch indicating his last name was Gonzalez tried to convince an African-American protester that he shouldn’t assume that “people of color in the department” did not share the concerns of those who had taken to the streets. His voice full of emotion, he lamented that the inclusion of “minorities on the police” had not helped spur more reforms. “Plenty has changed,” Gonzalez said, adding, “Not enough.
“Will you be proud of him if he gets pulled over by the police, his neck is stepped on, and he dies?” the protester asked. But Gonzalez told Yahoo News it was important not to assume all officers involved at the scene felt the same way about the protests.
