    Trump plans to send federal law enforcement personnel to Democratic-led U.S. cities

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Monday said he plans to send law enforcement personnel to some major U.S. cities, as a federal crackdown on anti-racism protests including use of unmarked cars and unidentified officers in camouflage in Portland, Oregon, angers people across the country.

    “We’re sending law enforcement,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “We can’t let this happen to the cities.”

    Trump, a Republican, mentioned New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore and Oakland, California, as possible places for sending in federal forces, noting the cities’ mayors are “liberal Democrats.” Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot frequently blasts Trump on Twitter.

    State and local leaders in Oregon, as well as members of Congress, meanwhile, have called for Trump to remove Department of Homeland Security officers from Portland.

    --------------------------------------------------------------
    Here it begins, the complete hijack of our country. Does anyone still believe we're going to have an election in November?

    I say, F that let those cities burn to the ground. Move Federal buildings out of those cities, encourage businesses to allow staff to work from home and let the animals run wild. Either the grownups take charge or not, their choice.

    If the dem leadership in those cities don't screw around, then this wouldn't be necessary. But, alas here we are.

    Yes, Trump is a dictator for trying to stop the 200% rise in VIOLENT crime in democrat cities. After 5 months of the left calling on Trump to nationalize the production of medical equipment and forcing a national lock down, I guess sending in some help to control democrat cities is now a "dictator".

    What I wish that President Trump would say is

    'All mayors and governors, the full force of the US Government is available for you to use to quell violent and criminal protests. ALL YOU HAVE to do is ASK. The Federal Government will not preempt your decisions. The only caveat is that the Federal Government will not use Federal Disaster funds for any rebuilding or relief effort should you decide to forgo assistance and you let your cities and communities be destroyed. To the business owners in these affected areas, it is UP to you to make your voices heard and to hold your elected officials responsible.'

    The party that wants a big powerful government heavily involved in their lives should have no issue with this.

    So? How Many?

    And, WHERE are they going to be?

    It sounds to me like he may send in a handful to "protect Federal property".

    What are Trump's People expecting?

    Thousands of Federal Troops and Tanks into the Streets?

    This sounds (as is usual with Trump) like All Bark and No Bite.

    Putin sends his MVD and probably the FSB and would send the KGB and NKVD or CHEKA if he still had those to cities not under pro Putin control so why be surprised that POTUS D wants to be like his hero!

    I am missing some basic understanding as to which law gives the president the authority to deploy troops into these cities. I note the riots have long died down, and in Portland, there are reports of peaceful protesters being arrested.

    Maybe they can beat on some more veterans who are protesting peacefully!
    Remember when paranoid republicans thought Obama was going to do this with operation Jade Helm? Now they cheer it?

    Riots have long died down :)

    "These so-called protests were labeled a riot late Saturday night as people – which looks to be a combination of Antifa and Black Lives Matter – demolished federal buildings and set fire to the Portland Police Association Headquarters building."

    I highly doubt any Federal Troops that are still listening to this regime are not going to be able to get by the soon-to-be-expanding WALL OF MOMS...

    An awesome idea formed in Portland...

    It's not the 'hijack' of our country, it's the restoration of civil freedoms(though as far as I'm aware, it has largely calmed down in Philadelphia.). We do not deserve to be locked away in our homes for an indefinite amount of time while being terrorized by street terrorists. If the government doesn't fulfill its responsibilities, then the American contract is null and void.
