6:37Now PlayingVideo showing 'altercation' with DC police in Southeast being investigated, Chief Contee says
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelD.C. Police Chief Robert Contee joined FOX 5 for a one-on-one interview to discuss an incident caught on video that's circulating on social media and that appears to show police in the District involved in a takedown Thursday night while on a call for a shooting in the Southeast is under investigation.
In the video, several officers and at least two subjects can be seen involved in a chaotic incident which happened near Stanton Road and Mississippi Avenue.
At one point in the video an officer appears to push one of the subjects backwards over a metal fence. In the video, that subject and another person appear to both be taken down to the ground by officers. MORE
This comes just days after FOX 5 obtained exclusive video that shows what appears to be several juveniles — and possibly some adults — shoving an older woman off a Metrobus in D.C.
Within the clip, the group can be heard berating a woman with red hair for nearly a minute as she stands near the backdoor of the bus. After telling the lady to "get off the bus" multiple times, the video shows the driver comes to a stop, doors open and the juveniles begin to attack the woman. MORE
Contee said "significant progress" is being made in the investigation. He said seeing youth involved in incidents like this is "very disturbing."
"I think one we have some young people who really need to be held accountable, and quite frankly, i don't think that they are in some instances," Contee continued. "I mean, we give chance, after chance, after chance, after chance, after chance, and at some point in order to make communities safe young people have to sit down." MORE
