(CNN) — 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.
Members of the community were seen lining both sides of 14th Street and loudly cursing at the officers. The visible outrage lasted for about two hours, with people yelling phrases like “Shame,” “You are the criminals” and “Get the f**k out of here” at the officers.
Others yelled, “Take off your mask!” at some of the federal age
