Dear PoPville,
This past Monday, 2/25/2013 I was running along the Rock Creek Park trail right under the P street bridge in the Georgetown Area and I spotted a man, 40’s or 50’s, smiling at me while masturbating. I screamed, ran the other way and alerted another female. We called the both the Metro Police and the Park Police. Both of which who seemed less than interested. I also stopped a cop on the way home who first asked me “if he was minding his own business or, you know, looking at me…” before telling me that that is not his jurisdiction and I should “go home, go online and call park police”.
I called Tuesday, Wednesday and just now to check to see if any reports were filed or officers dispatched. No one could tell me if they were and no one seemed very interested.
I am EXTREMELY disturbed by this. The description in the post from last week is the exact same description as what I saw and CLEARLY the Police are not concerned.
I would like to post about this to let people know since I am severely disturbed at the lack of help and concern I was given by the police.
