A photo posted by an editor at Reason that appeared to show officers with multiple federal agencies loading mopeds into a truck sparked backlash Monday as a waste of tax dollars and distraction from higher priority issues in Washington, D.C.

Natalię Dowzicky, Reason’s managing editor of video and podcasts, shared a photo Monday afternoon that she identified as happening “in Dupont Circle, right outside of the @reason office.”

In the photo, several law enforcement officers can be seen, including one with a D.C. Metropolitan Police uniform and several with “HSI,” or Homeland Security Investigations, a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

In the back of a truck that appeared to have a government logo on the door, multiple mopeds or motorized bikes could be seen.
