Original Note:
D.C. police do not necessarily have to handcuff someone for them to be considered "arrested". However, the handcuffs do act as a visual indicator of arrest and/or they may not see the person(s) as a legitimate threat. Whether if it's fair or unfair, is another story. https://washingtondccriminallawyer.net/dc-arrest-process/#:~:text=Being%20placed%20in%20handcuffs%20or,of%20arresting%20that%20particular%20person.
