George Floyd and racial justice

The protests in Portland are getting intense. Under Trump's direction, federal agents dressed in fatigues have been patrolling the city in unmarked vans, using "snatch and grab" tactics of grabbing and detaining protesters, often with no indication of whether they’ve been charged with any crime.

Protesters question federal law enforcement, ‘snatch-and-grab’ tactics in Portland

Some protesters are questioning the tactics being used and say some are being arrested by federal police even when they claim things are peaceful and nothing is going on.

Video was posted to Twitter on Wednesday night with a description that said federal officers rushed up and arrested someone for no reason. That person is seen in the video being taken to an unmarked van. Protesters claim they are being kidnapped.

Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley shared the video on Twitter, saying that “authoritarian governments, not democratic republics, send unmarked authorities after protesters. These Trump/Barr tactics designed to eliminate any accountability are absolutely unacceptable in America, and must end.” ...

Feds can only arrest for a violation of Federal law, not for state/local law.  Similarly the state/local police are not obligated to assist the Feds, but it is considered polite not to block them (aka sanctuary cities, illegal aliens being not held when in state/local court, for Feds to finish the job).

What is exactly going down in Portland?  Sounds like a Left conspiracy theory.  For example,Trump does have the authority to have people arrested who vandalize Federal property, but not state/local property.  Supposedly those arrests are ongoing.

Snatch & grab are tactics used by all authoritarian regimes, because due process isn't important for them.  Both Dems and Rethugs are authoritarian, so it is possible that law is being ignored.  Violent demonstrators ignore the law too.

As I see it, this is trump testing his ability to use the US military/police as a tool against us citizens, learning which units and commanders will do his bidding.

This report is about white nationalists in the countries police forces.  There are also some in all the US armed forces. 
Do not be surprised is this tactic is not repeated more times in cities around our country.  Not a good look for the upcoming election.

"White Helmets Co-Founder Defrauded Organization To Fund Lavish Wedding" ... typical grifting do-gooder.  White Helmets was an NGO founded to support at risk civilians in Syria.  He gave himself a $24,000 per month salary too.  White Helmet also assisted the CIA to frame Syria/Russia into being made direct war upon by Obama/Trump.  When his duplicity came out, he committed suicide.  Government social programs are like this, only for the US, paid for by US taxpayers.  Has the War On Poverty been won yet?  If not, why not?

"OREGON AG PUBLICLY SUPPORTS FAR LEFT INSURGENCY AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IS IT CIVIL WAR YE.." ... terrorists attacking Federal buildings?  Yes, Trump can do things about that, and the governor, mayor and state attorney general can't do anything about that.  Ever hear of Ft Sumter?  This is civil war.  I look forward to supporting Lincoln against Jefferson Davis (or their modern equivalents).  Blacks who support the Dems are race traitors aka criminals.  The new Dems support their race baiting plantation to control votes (ironically LBJ created this to replace Jim Crow on the 100 anniversary of the end of the last civil war).  Politicians who don't support citizens but do support rioter and criminals ... are Soylent Blue.  In the long run, the agenda of Black Marxism will have its own party, it won't infiltrate other parties.  Basically the successors to Angela Davis another loser from the 60s.

"BLACK PORTLAND COP SLAMS RACIST WHITE ANTIFA, ABSOLUTELY NAILS THE HYPOCRISY OF THE FAR LEFT" ... Karl Marx was a vicious racist.

Secret police disappearing citizens.  This is exactly the sort of jackboot tactics that conservatives claim they dislike.  Yet when stuff like this happens, do they condemn it?

We are officially now in the Banana Republic phase.  If the orange monster gets his way, we will transcend that phase into the North Korean phase.

Democrats aren't citizens of the US, they are either citizens of the Marxist Confederacy or denizens of our prison system.

I agree that all cops, including Feds, should be in uniform.  Specifically Feds should be uniformed like Judge Dred ;-)

I want things to be bad.  I want everyone to do it.  There are millions of deplorables in the US who need to be cancelled permanently ;-)

Getting beat in the street is a hell of a way to go about sticking it to the racist uncle.  Most people would just say Happy Holidays or "evolution is a fact"
