It was National Night Out, and in the District — as well as across the country — residents got together with police to reinforce relationships. On Tuesday night, the streets were filled just the same, but the mood was a little different. “We just wanted to thank our police officers for protecting our businesses, residents and our entire community.” I like the police officers and the cars.”Observances were held in other parts of the D.C. metropolitan area. We’re here to help people.”The night was filled with performances, rock climbing and snow cones.
