Two Washington DC officers crashed and totaled their police vehicles while drag racing on duty last week, a report said.

The cops from the Metropolitan Police Department raced each other on Thursday at about 5 p.m. on Anacostia Avenue near Kenilworth Park, hitting speeds of at least 60 mph, Fox 5 DC reported, citing an internal email and sources.

Commander Durriyyah Habeebullah ripped the officers’ actions in the email sent to department management following the crash.

“Yesterday two 6D scout cars were totaled because officers decided instead of fighting crime, patrolling their beats, or engaging the community – they decided to drag race each other on Anacostia Avenue at 5 pm in the evening,” Habeebullah worte.

“What does this say to all the members of MPD who are passionate about their job and work hard every day to make a difference. This is not fair to any of us,” she says.

Local and state governments should have to compete for Federal funds based upon their ability to responsibly to use the funds, confirmed via Federal audits.

If police officers wreck cruisers while drag racing, that agency should not receieve further Federal funds until the chain of command has been removed, and criminally prosecuted for fiscal malfeasance.

The nonsense will not stop until people go to prison.

We don't know if this is the truth anyway!  Some exaggerations going on?   No 'drag racing'....just some training?  They are looking for ways to bad mouth police.   I take this with  a grain of salt.

Manipulations all the time.

What does a video about an occurrence in Minneapolis have to do with DC police officers wrecking their cars while drag racing?

Heck I used to hit 60 mph before I hit the length of the school parking lot, that is until the one time a cop was waiting for me. I sure miss the days of free traffic school :silly:
