Cop Week Again In D.C.

So every year, a couple weekends before 500,000 bikers/veterans/family members start showing up for Rolling Thunder at Memorial Day, there is a convergence of police which comes to DC to honor those killed or hurt in the line of duty, and join together for general comraderie.

Most of them are pretty well-behaved, but there are always exceptions.
