Huh?
Is this an American President threatening to send in Federal cops into ‘Democratic Liberal ‘ cities to engage with protestors?
We KNOW Trump IS unhinged….
But this IS really off the hook….
Are gonna have to have local and state cops watching the Fed’s so they don’t have to clean up Trump’s mess?
Is this a Trump attempt to show that he’s going after protest in America if the locals let people use their rights to protest….
We DO know that Trump does like throw out shit he really doesn’t do….
President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to send federal law-enforcement officials into cities like New York and Chicago following his deployment of such forces to Portland, Oregon, over the weekend to crack down on protesters.
“New York and Chicago and Philadelphia, Detroit, and Baltimore and all of these—Oakland is a mess—we are not going to let this happen in the country, all run by liberal Democrats,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office. “We’re going to have more federal law enforcement, that I can tell you.”
In defiance of both state and local governments, Trump over the weekend escalated operations against protesters in Oregon, with Customs and Border Patrol agents snatching demonstrators off the streets and putting them into unmarked vans for detentions. The state’s attorney general filed a lawsuit against the feds, accusing them of unlawfully detaining protesters. The ACLU has also sued federal agents and local law enforcement, calling the situation a “constitutional crisis.”
Nevertheless, Trump on Monday cheered the feds’ encroachment into Portland while threatening to do the same in other cities: “They’ve done a fantastic job, been there three days, and they have done a fantastic job in a very short period of time, no problem. A lot of people in jail, these are anarchists. These are not protesters. These are people that hate our country. We are not going to let it go forward.”…
‘Like Adding Gasoline’: Oregon Officials Blast Trump Response To Portland Protests
Oregon officials are lashing out at President Trump for sending federal agents into Portland amid the ongoing protests against police brutality and racism. Both the governor and Portland’s mayor told NPR the administration’s actions are nothing more than political theater meant to appeal to Trump’s political base in an effort to win reelection.
“As best as I can tell, this is an effort — a last gasp effort — by a failed president with sagging polling data, who’s trying to look strong for his base,” Mayor Ted Wheeler told NPR’s Lulu Garcia-Navarro on Sunday. “He’s actually using the federal police function in support of his candidacy.”….

Rand Paul Hits Trump for Sending Troops Into Cities
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) voiced opposition to President Trump’s efforts to send federal law enforcement agents to Democratic-controlled cities.
Said Paul: “We cannot give up liberty for security. Local law enforcement can and should be handling these situations in our cities but there is no place for federal troops or unidentified federal agents rounding people up at will.”

Hey Jack correct me if i’m wrong ….
Federal law enforcement people DO get charged with crimes if in doing their jobs the break state laws …..
My Name Is Jack says
Well they could be.
Anyone who violates a state law can be charged.
Their Law enforcement status doesn’t give them the right to violate any state law.
Whether they would be so prosecuted?

I remember a young FBI guy shoot someone in NYC and getting indicted….
Lost his job ….
But yea they cut a deal…
I don’t know about Portland….
But sending Fed’s to NYC would NOT. be. good look….
Neither left leaning Mayor de Blaise or the NYPD or the local media would be happy…
And the NYPD has a LOT of cops….
It ain’t like small cities…
They have tens of thousands of cops and they do NOT like outside agencies fucking with their program….
The local FBI. even has to get along with them…
Same is probably true for most of them cities Trump might be thinks about…
And Trump will probably be gone in 6 months
Theses cops and Feds need each other AFTER the six months…

Update…
It is reported that the Trump admin WILL send addition Federal law enforce the people to Chicago shortly….
The fed’s will specific tasking to go after those having outstanding warren and federal offenses…
They are reporting NOT being deployed like those in Portland who seem to be having ‘ mission creep’ out into the streets…
I have questioned the above ‘mission creep’ having issues with big possessive urban cit’s cops , who do NOT like the Feds, giving then headaches….
jamesb says
This is actually the feds do from time to time around the country with local and state cops…
It is NOT what is going on in Portland ..
Those Feds are actually out in the streets…
bdog says
No Cops nor no law enforcement agents want to work in NYC…LI cops told not to chase to criminals across county lines for fear of being indicted if you use an unauthorized restraint…no warrants will be served in the city by Nassau now either…It will be funny…all criminals will be running to the queens line if their chased by the cops…if they make it into queens they are home free…lol..I exaggerate, but my point is valid.
