D.C. police raided the Reclaim the Streets party today, hitting participants and bystanders with batons and putting a sudden end to the festivities. "It was really bad because we had been having a really good time and then they came," said Anai, a woman at the party who had her seven-year-old daughter with her. The event was held at the intersection of P and 22nd Streets near Dupont Circle from 4:30 pm until 6 pm when police shut the party down.
