Outraged DC locals protest traffic checkpoint



A traffic checkpoint set up by Washington, DC, police and federal agents drew community outrage on Wednesday night as President Donald Trump’s takeover of the city’s police entered its third night.

CNN’s team at the scene observed multiple cars being pulled over temporarily, and at least one person being handcuffed and taken away by law enforcements at a checkpoint set up along the city’s 14th Street corridor, an area popular for its bars and restaurants. #CNN #News
