“Dear PoPville,

I work on Connecticut Ave near Farragut North and there have been literally endless, back to back motorcades. Any idea what’s going on? Seems to be motorcycle-heavy with big busses, like an athletic team might travel on.”

This week is Police Week. Tonight is the 38th Annual Candlelight Vigil:

“Each year, hundreds of names of officers killed in the line of duty are engraved on the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC.
