D.C. police have been in a touch of hot water lately.

First, DC Indymedia reports on some discontent from police conduct during Adams Morgan Day on Sept. 12. Apparently a man calling himself “Mr. Care” was harrassed by a police officer upset with his anti-Bush signs, which our Indymedia friends helpfully post online.

Second, a federal judge has ruled that Police Chief Charles Ramsey and his assistant could be held liable for the illegal mass arrest of protestors in Pershing Park at a World Bank/IMF protest two years ago.
