"SNIP..........

Updated | Police in Pittsburgh are already preparing for potential protests should President Donald Trump fire special counsel Robert Mueller.

In an email to officers Wednesday, Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Commander Victor Joseph wrote: “There is a belief that President Trump will soon move to fire Special Prosecutor Mueller. This would result in a large protest within 24 hours of the firing.” He said he had received information about a potential protest in the city.

The email continued, “Based on this information, beginning tomorrow, April 19, 2018, all Major Crimes detectives are required to bring a full uniform and any issued protective equipment (riot gear) with them to work until further notice. We may need to assist in the event that there is a large scale protest.”

Pittsburgh’s WTAE-TV first reported about the email. Chris Togneri, a police department spokesman, confirmed to Newsweek the authenticity of the email.

throughout America, and likely the world!

This is normal preparation for police departments in anticipation of events that will erupt if drumpf fires Mueller.
