Coup de projecteur aujourd'hui sur les États-Unis où Donald Trump a annoncé qu'il prenait le contrôle de la police et des opérations de maintien de la paix à Washington. Le président estime que la capitale est gangrenée par le crime et la violence. Il a ordonné le déploiement de la Garde nationale et la mobilisation d'agents fédéraux. Ce week-end du 16-17 août, des centaines de personnes ont manifesté devant la Maison Blanche pour dénoncer ces mesures qui ont mis la capitale sous tension. Dans le métro, autour des parcs ou des musées, les membres de la Garde nationale et leurs véhicules blindés sont désormais bien visibles à Washington DC. Le président leur a confié une mission : rendre les rues plus sûres. Mais pour la plupart des habitants, cette présence provoque plutôt l'effet inverse. « C'est très inhabituel de voir ça aux États-Unis… Je ne sais pas, je trouve ça un peu extrême », réagit une habitante. « C'est très anxiogène, c'est sûr, mais on va devoir s'y habituer pour le moment », ajoute une autre.  Donald Trump assure qu'il veut ainsi lutter contre une explosion de la criminalité. Mais en réalité, les chiffres officiels montrent une tendance à l'opposé. Le taux de criminalité est le plus bas enregistré dans la ville ces 30 dernières années. Certains voient dans le plan du président une décision purement politique. « On a l'impression qu'il a mis Washington dans son viseur et décidé de faire souffrir ses ennemis », lâche un Washingtonien. Un autre habitant renchérit : « Il nous parle de loi et d'ordre et de crime, alors que c'est lui le criminel condamné qui a aussi provoqué une émeute et une attaque contre le Capitole. » À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: Donald Trump place le maintien de l'ordre à Washington sous contrôle fédéral À terme, 800 membres de la Garde nationale devraient être déployés, en plus de dizaines d'agents fédéraux chargés d'intervenir comme le ferait la police. Un dispositif exceptionnel dont les habitants du quartier de Deanwood ont été les premiers témoins : « On a vu dix voitures arriver en trombe. Ils sont sortis, les armes à la main en hurlant : "Viens ici !". Les gens ont eu peur parce qu'avec les véhicules banalisés, on ne savait pas qui c'était. Effrayés, certains ont pris la fuite et l'un des agents a ouvert le feu. » Tyrese Stevenson décrit des scènes de panique. Sur les vidéos qu'il a filmées, on voit des dizaines d'agents masqués portant des gilets pare-balles avec les initiales de leurs agences : FBI, DEA, police des transports…  Une démonstration de force inacceptable selon Anthony Lorenzo Green, un élu local qui affirme qu'ici, comme ailleurs, le crime est en baisse : « C'est un quartier où les gens ont l'habitude, l'été, de rester tard devant leur maisons, dans leur jardin, ou juste de se balader. Ils ne commettent pas de crimes, ils vivent, c'est tout. Donc voir arriver des patrouilles qui agissent comme ça, c'est inquiétant. » L'élu estime que les moyens dépensés devraient plutôt servir à financer des programmes pour jeunes, des programmes de lutte contre les violences policières ou des infrastructures. Il craint de voir les mesures sécuritaires de Donald Trump cibler plus durement les minorités et les communautés afro-américaines, comme à Deanwood.

Don't miss this insightful conversation!

Some cities around the U.S. are responding to the growing threat of more extreme heat and intense storms with resilience hubs equipped with backup energy and offering supplies and information for residents during a disaster. In this season finale, we cover the District's first resilience hub at the FH Faunteroy Community Enrichment Center in the Deanwood neighborhood. The second part of the episode will feature an interview with Dr. Sacoby Wilson, the director of the Center for Community Engagement, Environmental Justice and Health (CEEJH) at the University of Maryland School of Public Health. Music (all tracks provided by Blue Dot Sessions)GaleThread of Clouds For the latest updates on episodes, follow us on all major social media platforms @holaculturadc.

Black Food Geographies: Race, Self-Reliance, and Food Access in Washington, D.C. (University of North Carolina Press, 2019), by Ashanté M. Reese, examines the ways in which residents of the Deanwood neighborhood navigate the surrounding area to acquire food. Reese examines the historical processes that gave rise to the decrease of supermarkets, general stores, and other locations to purchase food thus constraining options. Residents articulated a commitment to self-reliance in meeting their culinary needs through their strategies for accessing food markets, nostalgia for and memories of the past, practice of connection and community, and belief in personal responsibility. Reese emphasizes the role of structural racism and inequality in generating the conditions of decreased food options while holding in tension residents' insistence upon relying on their own actions to forge futures of abundance and community. Reese examines a corner store and a community garden as local sites for residents to work towards and articulate responses to their current situation. The term food desert tends to emphasize lack and emptiness, occlude agency, and sideline the historical processes that conditioned such limited food options. Black Food Geographies offers a powerful critique of the food desert by emphasizing the agency of African American people, the forces of racism and inequality, and by showing that these spaces are rich with the lives, hopes, and outlooks of the people who live there. Ashanté M. Reese is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Reighan Gillam is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Southern California. Her research focuses on race, blackness, and visual representation in Brazil.

The hits just keep coming. Today I talk to my good buddy Ian Taronji from the Lucky So and So's, and dctbd. Attorney by day, guitarist by night, all around good dude. Oh and he helped me write the Deanwood song, about Marvin Gaye. Dig it!

Joe Clair invited the men who recorded the viral video of a police search in Deanwood, as well as the advisory neighborhood commissioner who brought it to the public's attention, to give their perspective.

A local real estate agent and the men who recorded the Deanwood video talk about the real reason they believe the police are stop-and-frisking black men in that neighborhood.

Metropolitan Police Department Chief Peter Newsham joins Joe Clair by phone to discuss a recent incident caught on video in Deanwood and police-community relations.

Reel Talk with Film DC features Eugene Brown, the man whose story is the inspiration behind the new independent feature Life of a King starring Academy Award Winner Cuba Gooding, Jr. The film, which premieres in DC this week, is an inspiring story of an ex-convict who starts a chess club for at-risk youth in the District's Deanwood neighborhood.
