单集文稿 ...

  • I'm Rachel Martin, host of Wildcard from NPR.

  • I've spent years interviewing all kinds of people,

  • and I've realized there are ideas that we all think about, but don't talk about very much.

  • So I made a shortcut, a deck of cards with questions that anyone can answer,

  • questions that go deep into the experiences that shape us.

  • Listen to the Wildcard podcast only from NPR.

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone.

  • Local opposition continues unabated as the Trump administration attempts to take over policing in the District of Columbia.

  • Bruce Givens of Maryland was in the city of Washington protesting this weekend.

  • I am out here because Trump is a fascist.

  • He is taking over our country.

  • He's literally shredding the Constitution.

  • And PR's Brian Mann has more on the story.

  • Some policing experts say they're alarmed by Trump's chaotic bid to assume control of Washington's street cops.

  • Rosa Brooks is a former Washington, D.C.

  • Reserve police officer who teaches at Georgetown Law School.

  • I think it's actually quite dangerous, right?

  • Whenever you have lots and lots of armed people and lack of clarity about who's in charge,

  • you have a really risky situation.

  • Brooks is also troubled by Trump's statement that he wants this intervention repeated in other American cities.
