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

Its not contained-it has been nightly organized political violence for over a month against federal facilities.

The local police have stopped trying to stop it.




Acting Secretary Wolf Condemns The Rampant Long-Lasting Violence In Portland

“The city of Portland has been under siege for 47 straight days by a violent mob while local political leaders refuse to restore order to protect their city. Each night, lawless anarchists destroy and desecrate property, including the federal courthouse, and attack the brave law enforcement officers protecting it.

“A federal courthouse is a symbol of justice - to attack it is to attack America. Instead of addressing violent criminals in their communities, local and state leaders are instead focusing on placing blame on law enforcement and requesting fewer officers in their community. This failed response has only emboldened the violent mob as it escalates violence day after day.

“This siege can end if state and local officials decide to take appropriate action instead of refusing to enforce the law. DHS will not abdicate its solemn duty to protect federal facilities and those within them. Again, I reiterate the Department’s offer to assist local and state leaders to bring an end to the violence perpetuated by anarchists,” said Acting Secretary Chad Wolf

Obama built that.

 

Trump is not sending in the goons to enforce the law. He is running a reality game show to play the so called "Law and Order candidate. He said it he said he wants to be the law and order candidate. He is doing all of this for one reason and one reason only!!!!

His re-election!! The trump cultists are getting woodies over border troops being sent to quash demonstrators.

THINK THINK THINK PEOPLE!!!!! The Trumpocity has been POTUS for almost 4 years. There has been violence in big cities off and on for all of those years. Did the Trumpocity offer to help in 2017 -NO
Did the Trumpocity ofer to help in 2018- NO
Did the Trumpocity offer to help in 2019- NO

But oh look it is election year and the polls whether anyone believes them or not do show that the Trumpocity is lagging and slagging behind Old Joe! So the Trumpocity stages a show!! Now we have NKVD type troops up in Oregon.

You know what else ?? The Trumpocity who only has worn a mask once pulls out a mask to show the cameras at another staged event he calls the Coronovirus update. Then puts it back in his pocket. How nice for the cameras. But no one with any knowledge is invited. NO Fauchi. Just the usual suspects Eunach Pense.

 

Law needs to be used properly. Just because you have a law that does not mean to use it for partisan political reasons!!

 

Back up your bullshit... for once...

 

Democrats support domestic terrorism! Vote GOP in November!

 

Oh, I get it. If "relativly contained" means estimated damages of $23million to $30million, then yes, I guess it is "contained."

It is damned obvious that the local politicians don't have a clue of what they are doing.

But, my entire point in replying to you was to show that Benjamin Franklin's quote is off base here. The ones who are taking away essential liberties are the rioters, not law enforcement. Law Enforcement is preserving our essential liberties in this case.

 

Good... I'm glad we got that straight...

 

Those leftists are committing federal crimes on federal property.

We are a nation of laws and the feds will take care of it if the local democrats wont.

 

In this video, you can see the identifying patches on their right shoulders. They're BORTAC. Their uniforms also identify them as such. The protesters are just too stupid to realize that.

 

If this stuff was happening as you claim we all would have heard about it . do you really believe that all of those times that the adjective "violent" appears and anarchists appears that it really was "violent and anarchists"?

This guy Wolf is a Trump toady so how can anyone believe what he says?

Seriously I would have some faith in these reports if the Trumpocity did not use partisan political descriptions when he threatens to send federal troops to "Democratic " administered area. Yes if we quote the trumpocity he said "Democrat" mayors !

Are Trump cultists ver going to grow up and start supporting what is best for our country and notably what is best for the Trumpocity??

 

If we were still a nation of laws, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn would be in prison today...

This is just another complete embarrassment by the man who perfected the art...

I suspect he's going to get completely crushed in November, cause this **** certainly isn't going to add to his shrinking base...

 

When do they start breaking Jewish store windows??

You can rule out another 1-2% of registered independents with this crap... you know that, right??

Watch the next set of polls... 37% is coming fast...

 

Let's try to get back to the point. You said they weren't wearing identifying insignia. They clearly were. That means you were wrong. Agreed?

 

Fake news strikes again, but not how you think.

 

Antifa/BLM, these riots, etc are deeply unpopular with Americans.

Sometimes I wonder if democrats are trying to lose.

 

Breaking News:


Mayor Lightfoot now considering federal help after 17 shot at a funeral only 2 hours ago.

 

And I can guess why they were at the funeral.

 

Nearly 70 shell casings were recovered by the police. It was reported that the funeral goers returned fire. At every funeral I have ever attended the only persons to posses a firearm were the 7 man Honor Guard.

 

There's a joke about white privilege somewhere in there.

 

You are correct. Whites have the privilege of not having to be strapped at a funeral.

 

Yes, any actual rioting is unpopular...

This response to it is much worse...

 

You are partially correct... they are rogue federal law enforcement trying to give the impression they are rogue federal troops...

SNIP
The American public should not be confused about the difference between uniformed military personnel and police officers.

That's the belief of Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who is concerned about personnel from across the country wearing camouflage uniforms, Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman told reporters Tuesday. He made the comments after federal agents in Portland, Oregon, were photographed rounding up protesters and escorting them to unmarked vehicles -- all while in uniforms similar to those worn by U.S. troops.

"There are some law enforcement [who] wear uniforms that make them appear military," Hoffman said. "And the secretary has expressed his concern with this within the administration."
