The patch below is likely his unit patch

This picture should be shown as an example of MF45s America. Do you want to have a President
that calls for terrorizing its citizens?

(63,221 posts)history. It is so haunting because just by looking at the photo, you don't know the fate of the woman. Is that the last picture ever taken of her? Is that her last cry for help?
She looks so terrified and is clearly helpless and powerless in that situation, that I think most of us can imagine the fear of being in a similar situation, as well as the possibility that this could be happening in our own towns and cities soon enough.

(464 posts)From all the protesters using their flashlight app who are identified as the protest. This and maybe a generic attack are identified as the response from Trumps troops. If there some video that identifies property damage to white nationalists, add that. Lincoln Project if you are listening.

(2,692 posts)And if the thugs marshaled by Barr in Portland are, in fact, federal employees, his warning is one they had better heed. However, if they are, as many have suggested, private citizens, mercenaries, in the laundered pay of the DOJ, they know they are acting with impunity as members of an unidentified troop of guerilla-terrorists.
Either way, their very presence and their violent actions against peaceful citizens (a "dancing flower girl"? Are you f-ing kidding me?) are both criminal, even treasonous actions and, if the individual thugs can't be identified, the miserable excuse for an Attorney General can be, the POS illegally-acting-Secretary of DHS (Wolf) can be, and the double POS and also illegally-acting-Deputy-Secretary (the Cooch) can be. If Trump loses and leaves (a combination not at all certain), the new Administration can certainly put these traitors on trial, maybe using the tribunal system that Bush Junior instituted for those poor saps whom his pigs falsely accused of terrorism -- you know,"try them" behind closed doors and send them to Langley to be psychologically destroyed by the CIA.

(10,011 posts)Portland officials have said the protests were under control. Theyre certainly not now that Trump has sent his good squads to stir up violence. Its his same old patterncreate a crisis, then claim he did a great job solving it. Remember when he sent federal troops to the border for the make-believe crisis of migrant caravans rushing toward the border? After the 2018 election, that crisis went away.

(45,450 posts)so she's being taken by unknown people to an unknown location. They didn't show badges or identify which law enforcement agency they work for.
Remember when this sort of thing only happened in other countries? And then America would send troops to liberate their oil? Amazing how things have changed. If they are border patrol, then they probably got plenty of practice roughing up immigrants.
