Her directive on post-occupation collaboration with federal law enforcement was not rescinded, however, when she made this announcement. This makes the ultimate case for not only D.C. Statehood but alco for community control of the police to ensure further accountability of the D.C. police and to give the people a say in policing policy in our city. That makes it incredibly difficult for residents to keep an eye on what law enforcement or their superiors are up to. Instead of having a collaborationist mayor in control of the D.C. police, the force would instead be under the scrutiny and control of a D.C. community-elected CPAC. Together with community control of police, it would grant so much more autonomy D.C. residents and increase more local control.
