This from a D.C.-area flyer from the cop shop:
CRIME PREVENTION FLYER
0078-03-CID041
1. The CID mission includes not only investigating crime, but assisting the command/community in identifying crime-conducive areas or conditions which affect the safety and security of personnel and equipment within this command. This flyer is a crime prevention service to the command. Below is a situation we feel worthy of dissemination.
2. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: On 27 Mar 03, this office received information indicating DoD personnel whose privately owned vehicles are identified with a Department of Defense (DoD) registration decal should make all attempts to avoid any Anti-war protest. The information disclosed that a DoD family member while driving her vehicle and stuck in traffic was identified as having a DoD sticker. At the time there was an anti-war protest under way. When her vehicle was observed by the demonstrators, a member of the group yelled out "war bitch" and her vehicle was immediately surrounded. While some of the members pounded on her vehicle with their fists, others "keyed" it and wrote the word "peace" on the paint finish.
3. It is recommended DoD personnel should avoid these protest at all cost. Even though the protesters proclaim on National TV that they support the military members involved in the war in Iraq, there are numerous members of the various Anti-war groups who do not share this view and will assault DOD members once they are identified.
