My landlord is 80 years old with a heart condition. 2 years ago an off duty DPD almost beat the shit out of him because he had the audacity to beep his horn when the off duty officer blocked him into a parking space. First, he badged him and asked if he had a firearm in his truck . . . after being told no, he was screamed at, threatened, and the off duty cop refused to let him out of the parking space. He called a patrol car to run my landlord for warrants and wants and issue him some BS ticket for improper use of the horn or something like that. The uniformed cop completely ignored my landlord and was joking around with the off duty officer for about 15 minutes and asking him how his vacation was. Personally, I think DPD needs random piss tests for steroids and other illicit substances. Everyone in Capitol Hill is more scared of the DPD than the bad guys, which is why so many crimes go unreported.
