"I think it's actually quite dangerous. Whenever you have lots of armed people and lack of clarity over who's in charge of what, you have a really risky situation," Brooks said.

NPR reached out to officials with the District of Columbia Police Union for their view on how the conflict is affecting officers. They haven't yet responded.
