We should leverage this post and the hashtag #MissingDCGirls to welcome more to our community to join the effort. Especially in light of the missing DC girls (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/comments/1745638)) and the fact that the DC Police seem to have no good answers and are even making light of this issue, I thought some exposure of the DC Police and their history would be helpful:

• It has been alleged that a hacker was able to find child porn on the protected section of CPP's website and submitted it to the police on 12/1/16, with no action taken by police despite this extremely strong evidence: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1640039

• The false-flag shooter operation (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1461475)) occurred three days later, with the story evolving from "no shots were fired" (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1461897)) to "one shot was fired" to a "magic bullet" somehow went through a padlocked door and hit the computer in the other room in a way to perfectly damage the hard drive [evidence of CP] on the computer (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1474026)). The fact pattern makes this incredibly disturbing, but any thinking person knows that a citizen who is truly concerned about children being held as sex slaves would not fire a gun indiscriminately when these same children he is trying to save may be hidden behind the door he is shooting. The whole idea is ludicrous.

• We know that the DC Police lied when they asserted that they investigated Comet Ping Pong. This was proven when a FOIA request (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1525587)) forced the DC Police to reveal that they had not conducted ANY investigation despite their public claims, repeated by the LSM, that they had investigated the concerns raised here.

• The newly appointed Chief of Police for DC (Peter Newsham) appears to be a pedo protector. He is a friend of Comet Ping Pong (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1486167)), having stood by in community support in a photo op…despite conducting no investigation of what we have uncovered. He has a documented history of abuse of power, including alleged domestic abuse and the charging of an 11-year-old victim of gang rape with filing a false report despite the finding of multiple samples of semen on her underwear (http://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/221018540-story)).

I was reviewing stories of DC police officers, Marc Washington and Linwood Barnhill, who were actively involved in the production of child porn and in sex trafficking of children. The few locally-produced stories reveal a strong pattern of corruption within the DC Police and a lack of curiosity by the media to actively pursue these stories to reveal the extent of the corruption and coordinated efforts by the pedos who hold power. This is relevant to pizzagate because a big part of the problem is that law enforcement agencies have been shown to be complicit in covering up these kinds of cases, or, at a minimum, attempt to limit the "damage" of these cases within their own departments. The documentation below also reveals a very low level of interest by the media in exposing these cases and the truth.

• This article (http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/DC-Police-Officer-Arrested-for-Production-of-Child-Pornography-234261121.html)), from 12/3/13, discusses the arrest of Marc Washington on child porn charges involving a missing child. It is the start in a series of arrests/articles that show a pattern that even a seven-year-old detective would recognize.

Police are working to learn whether there may be additional victims, they said.

The above claim was never supported as Washington's camera included 100s of photos of victims, some of whom were clearly minors, yet this angle in the investigation never received any further progression.

• This article about the arrest of Linwood Barnhill (http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Two-DC-Cops-Under-Investigation-Another-Arrested-234651521.html)), from 12/5/13 furthers the story with the following quotes:

A D.C. police officer is being investigated for allegedly “pimping” teenage girls, police sources said, but there's no indication that investigation is connected to another officer who was just arrested on child porn charges…In a press conference Friday, Lanier said this investigation is not connected to the Monday arrest of another D.C. police officer on child porn charges. In that case, officer Marc Washington, who has been with the department since 2006, went to the home of a 15-year-old girl who had previously been reported missing, ordered her to remove her clothing and took photos of her, all while he was on duty.

Why is this investigation not connected to the other? The fact that the involved officers were taking nude pictures of missing children (a common thread) and pimping them (sex trafficking)…and that they all worked in the same 7th District…gives no indication that these cases and officers are connected in their pedo crimes? The DC Police have to bend over backwards to avoid discovering that these cases are likely highly connected and involve multiple parties…as at least three were identified very early.

During a hearing Thursday, it was revealed Washington, 32, had hundreds of photographs on his digital camera dating back to 2011, many of which depicted women who were victims of domestic violence.

The quote above illustrates the systematic abuse of power by the police of victims of domestic abuse and children who go missing. It also reveals a lack of pursuit by the police and the media to discover who these other victims were, some of whom were identified to be minors. I could find no future mention of the effort to uncover these victims and bring justice related to their cases.

• This article (http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/DC-Cop-Accused-of-Child-Porn-Gets-House-Arrest-234791831.html)), from 12/6/13, provides evidence of a broader pedo conspiracy by the DC Police that was ultimately swept under the rug by the police department and non-curious media.

Another D.C. police officer is under investigation for possibly tipping Washington off about his forthcoming arrest earlier this week, according to sources, although Lanier would say only that that officer has been placed on no-contact status.

The previous quote shows that the corruption in the DC police was not limited to just one or two individuals and seemed to be part of a broader conspiracy involving others who worked to protect their pedo friends. Also, I could not find any evidence that this other DC officer was ever discovered and revealed. Predictably, there seemed to be no effort by the media to chase down who this other pedo conspirator was as the media will simply reveal the limited information that makes it to them...rather than dig on their own...and will only make these revelations involving those in power if it has approval from TPTB.

• This article (http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Police-Search-for-Missing-Person-at-Hains-Point-235329281.html)) on 12/10/13, is about the very questionable death of Marc Washington in the water at Hains Point, four days after his release for bail. No one seemed to ask about nature of his death and whether it could have involved murder by one of his implicated co-conspirators, something any homicide detective would pursue, especially since at least three cops had been implicated in a potential pedo ring. The lazy article did not even attempt to mention the cause of his death and the possibility that it was a homicide. The online article shows that it was edited four months after initial publication, so why did the author/editor not chase down what happened with the third implicated officer or what was discovered of the victims, some who were clearly minors, who had been found in 100s of images on Marc Washington's phone? I did a comparison using archive.org and could not even find a change from 4/21/14 (update date) to the original article as archived on 12/12/13.

• This article (http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Ex-DC-Cop-to-Be-Sentenced-for-Pimping-Teen-Girls-278629421.html)), from 10/9/14, reveals the following:

The judge said she accepted the light sentence -- Barnhill faced a maximum sentence of 24 years -- primarily to protect the victims' privacy, News4's Mark Segraves reported, but also because Barnhill didn't abuse his police powers in committing the crimes.

The quote above shows systematic corruption at the judicial level. How is it that Officer Barnhill did not abuse his police powers when "a search for a missing 16-year-old girl led officers to his apartment"? Only in an alternative universe would the justice delivered and underlying justification given make sense to any rational person.

A third officer was also under investigation for possibly tipping Washington off about his forthcoming arrest. All three officers were employed in MPD's Seventh District, law enforcement sources said.

The above quotation shows that neither the police nor media had any interest in getting to the truth about this "third" police officer who attempted to aid and abet his pedo friend. This article was written over 10 months after the original arrests and story broke, yet it had the same claim that a "third officer was also under investigation." How could so much time have passed without resolving who this other officer was and their role in the police pedo conspiracy? Why did NBC4 (the author of all these articles) not pursue or follow up on this issue with such basic questions as to why the third officer was "still being investigation" nearly a year later?

In these cases involving the political elite or law enforcement, the answer is simple: The effort is to minimize the damage, cover up what can be hidden, and move on.
