FYI….”DC METRO” is the name of the TRANSIT POLICE……and NOT, the Metropolitan Police of the District of Columbia…aka MPDC……who, by the way..would NOT be the lead law enforcement agency making such pronouncements as to “threats”….BUT, a very reliable source of info.
As a minority resident of Nashville, feeling compelled to speak for it – please keep dude there. We do not want him back.
